Beat-driven and melodic synth music, both passionate and hypnotic.
The Fabric started as a studio project in mid-2004. Songwriter/recording artist Jeremy Frank and vocalist Joe Sikes (both formerly of Atlanta-based rock group ODK ) were seeking to complete a body of work three years in the making. To achieve that goal, they collaborated with Sharaab, Atlanta-based songwriter/producer/DJ.
Working at Maze Studios, the trio proceeded to complete their backlog of songs. Soon the working partnership grew as Sharaab became fully integrated with The Fabric, contributing his elegant production style to refine the well-crafted songwriting of Jeremy and Joe. In addition to producing and remixing the earlier material, the newly-formed band began writing new tracks as well as collaborating on Sharaab's latest album Evolution.
The result of this effort is The Fabric's debut full-length album, titled "Man Vs. Prototype" . The 12 song record encompasses the best that electronic-based music has to offer, with finely textured constructs, nuanced-yet-danceable beats, and heart-rending lyrics. Although arrangements vary from symphonic-fuelled breakbeats to delicate ambient excursions, The Fabric never breaks from the emotionally charged songwriting at its core, recalling the height of 80's synth-pop bands without ever reverting to retro-hysterics, like so many of their contemporaries.
Thanks for a great show last night at the April 2009 City Skies Electronic Music Event! It was our best attended show since the City Skies Festival in May 2008.

Prince – 1 hr 25 mins agoNEW YORK (Billboard) – Daft Punk, the French electronica duo known for their robot personas, will compose the score for "TR2N," Walt Disney Pictures' update of its 1982 science fiction classic "Tron. "
The film, currently in production, is tentatively scheduled for a 2011 release.
The "TR2N" score marks Daft Punk's first foray into the studio since 2005's "Human After All." After an extended hiatus, the duo reemerged in 2007 for an extensive world tour, spawning the Grammy-wining live set "Alive 2007." The group's 2001 track "Harder Better Faster Stronger" was adapted by Kanye West for his single "Stronger," and the pair appeared at the 2008 Grammy Awards with the rapper.
The musicians, Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo and Thomas Bangalter, split their time between Paris and Los Angeles, where they have assembled a new recording studio for the TR2N project.
Daft Punk have worked in film before, most notably as directors of their feature "Electroma," although that film used none of the group's own music.
The original "Tron," which pioneered the use of computer graphics, was scored by Wendy Carlos, an electronic musician and composer whose "Switched on Bach" album was one of the first to highlight the Moog synthesizer as a musical instrument.
