Fakeproject is a Fargo group first conceived in February 2001 and finally implemented in Fall 2001. Their output consisted mostly of hardcore electronic music, usually elaborating on a single theme. Compositions often featured lengthy expositions on a single beat, jarring transitions, and surveillance-derived samples.

The group was never signed and made only half an attempt to get their music commercially published. They produced one complete album: "Oversight". This album was run in an edition of 200. The album was hand-produced on CD-R, with a screenprinted cover that folded out into a poster. As with everything Fakeproject related the album featured themes of surveillance. Track details follow.

-This album had generally good reception/reviews and garnered the band many interesting contacts. The band's first show was in the ill-fated space above the Moose Lodge, a party put on by the ever-brilliant St. Vitas (Casey Borchert). Mike Dagen of the Abandoned Scout Camp ran sound. This show provided both the motivation and the contacts for all other Fakeproject activities, including later anti-war and anti-Bush shows. Fakeproject was probably best known for their performance at the Fargo Winter Carnivale. The performance featured intense live computer music synced almost perfectly to a video collage of surveillance footage, anti-war sentiment, and archival footage from the Prelinger Archives. That performance, and the next year's subsequent performance by Fake, were high-water marks in Fakeproject's creative output. Around that time, Fakeproject also became acquainted with the brilliant Ken Parker, of Not To Be Mixed With Any Other Chemicals, who was also later associated with the Abandoned Scout Camp.

-Fakeproject had a number of smaller demo releases on their website. Many of these demo tracks were later reworked into new songs by Fake, the post Fakeproject... project.
