Band Profile

Now that were far on creating all our products, we felt it was necessary to finalise what our band would actually be. We decided to make it a duo, as it emphasises the gender neutrality of our music and target audiences, and having a male and female member helps to appeal to both.
The duo is the members of our media group, Myself (James Morrison) and Beatrice Douaihy. This prevents us from having to rely on outside people if we need promotional material such as images.
The band would produce varying experimental electronic music. We don't want to narrow the genre down too much, as it gives us more freedom in terms of promotion if the band is not super specific music wise. The band members persona's and personality will not be stressed, as we feel that in an age where people share so much online the enigma is likely to draw attention.




We used an online random ambient electronic band name generator on the Rigel7 music blog (http://rigel7.com/bandomizer/) to produce a series of random names. One of the names that came up involved 'Xerox', and we liked the idea of using this in the name as it fits the idea of nostalgic futurism, with the strange futuristic word yet the actual physical thing being a now outdated technology. As we went on, we tried it out with other suggestions, and eventually settled on 'dreams' as the abstract noun combines with the concrete Xerox to create a surreal, unusual impression, as well as emphasising the longing associated with nostalgia.
