Cynicism Management

Cynicism Management is a band dedicated to writing worldwide smash hit singles in odd time signatures, and annoying people with them live, too. Check out cynmanagement.blogspot.com for an occasional "status report".

BIO

Cynicism Management is a brainchild of seasoned musicians who keep getting even more seasoned with every passing year, but who have, to date, nevertheless failed to write any worldwide hit singles. Hence their latest endeavour – Cynicism Management, the newest attempt at global domination.

The scheme started out in late 2008 as an experiment – the whole affair was to be an "ongoing online literary musical". At its core, the idea was quite simple: to gradually write a fictional "blog" that would, hopefully, eventually develop into a kind of a novel. As the novel was to focus on the epic tales of a band called Cynicism Management, the blog would also contain original tracks written and recorded by this fictional band. Should the idea gain more momentum, any additional materials produced in the context of this project would be included in the "blog / novel", ideally resulting in a comprehensive work of, perhaps, interesting dimensions and format.

However, as this cunning plan was undertaken by people who are musicians to their very core, it is perhaps not surprising that the music soon became their primary concern. Thus a live lineup of the band has been established before the "novel" ever saw the light of day, and is already performing live, which was actually not a part of the original "strategy". Naturally, at this point it would be completely idiotic if the real band insisted it was in fact some other, "fictional" band.

In May 2011 Cynicism Management released their first "tangible" album entitled Tit, followed in September by a digital release under the AMAdea Music label.

However, the fictional, incorporeal band is also alive and well. Its story used to unravel gradually, in weekly episodes, at ..cynmanagement.blogspot.com... But as the novel is currently nearing completion, the "online" literary experiment has been discontinued until further notice due to a large number of revisions and changes bound to take place in the next few months.
