Introduction:

The long awaited collaboration between England’s electronic musicmeister Andrew Coleman (aka Animals on Wheels) and the highly respected Canadian film and video maker Patrick Doan who works under the name ‘Defasten.’
This project has taken a long time coming but was well worth the wait. This is possibly the best synthesis of the Cocosolidciti labels ten years of collaborations between sound and video artists.
Andrew Coleman has come up with a superb mix of elegant piano lines, noise-ridden blow-outs, and haunted sketches of dubstepped landscapes. Defasten used these works to soundtrack his first feature film, which is a beautiful examination of human subjectivity through the harsh realities of urban environments to the fantasy-ridden worlds of Second Life.
Having already been booked for numerous festivals in 2010, this release will be a highly sort after item, the film being more than equal in terms of conceptual quality, interest and technique to its brilliant soundtrack.
