Fakeproject

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 primary members of Fakeproject were Dan Reetz and Shaun Fort. Fakeproject, however, never operated in isolation and had many, many contributors. These included:

Chris Moose (samples and critcism, also previously a member of Airhandler) Andy Filer (samples, photos, criticism, and technology) Amanda Irvine (vocals)

The group was never signed and, being resistant to commercial enterprise, 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.
