ManGenerated as a band ceased to exist around 2004 and it’s very unlikely that there will ever be a reunion or that new material will ever be recorded under that name. From 1996 to 2004 the band changed in formation a couple of times. Founding members were Olivier Decoster (aka and performing under the name Diskoster), Robin Guelinckx (aka DJ Nibor for all ya hardcore and acid parties), Jan Baeten (currently playing with the Cyphoids) and Wim Van Gelder (aka Portable Noise Kremator and still maintaining the mangenerated-site). Yves Lambeens (now playing in The Dead Souls and Zen for Birds) joined in later.
Influences
Not necessarly influences, but sure things we were listening to: Glenn Branca, The Dead C, The Shaggs, John Carpenter, K2, Smell & Quim, Hermit, The Melvins, My Bloody Valentine, Heresey, Flux of Pink Indians... and tons of other bands I've forgotten the names of because of my legendary memory (or lack thereof) for names.
Sounds Like
Crappy impro trash varying with the years and the bandmembers' mood. First couple of years drumatix/steel kit/guitar-induced, later moving more towards a guitar-only band with occasional sloppy drumming. Think 3 authistic and tonedeaf guitarplayers who learned to play their instrument by studying pics in a guitar-catalogue doing their best to blow up their amps. Damage over the years: 4 amps, a 4-track, 3 monitors, 3 guitars, 2 synths, various smaller equipment that easily gets loose when you swing it above your head (like mikes), our reputation in town and Diskosters' ears.
ManGenerated, as a band, was founded in 1996, and ceased to exist somewhere around 2004. It has always been tough to classify ManGenerated. Experimental death-trash impro might be the best genre-description for ManGenerated’s last period, when the band settled with a heavy detuned guitar sound, loosely similar to, though not necessarly inspired by what the Dead C was doing in that period. Things grew slower and sludgier in the very last months as the bands interest shifted to this genre, but then things came to an end. Heck, in those 8 years we never learned to play properly, which might explain a couple of things.
The bands’ name now lives on in www.mangenerated.com, initially a typical bands’ site, but now focusing on noise and experimental music in general, with a blog containing reviews of both gigs and releases, plus a small calendar with upcoming events - To get an idea of what bands we had over us the past years, check out Live in De Living, the notorious fest Diskoster used to organise in his livingroom. Live in De Living currently is no more, but the show continues at various other locations.
