Artist description Surface Noise CD Copy Cat Suicide is a collection of music that can not legally exist. Surface Noise is not a band- it's a "Sonic Franchise." Obtaining this CD obligates you not just to copy, appropriate and bootleg the music, but to BECOME Surface Noise yourself! This is music that can not legally exist in this country due to over-restricitve copyright legislation, licensing complexities, and general record company greed. Featured is such flagrant sampladelic collage that this music is guaranteed to NEVER see a legitimate commercial release. Get yours before the Copyright Control Death Squad smashes Surface Noise into hundreds of noisy little pieces!

Artist History Voice, Sampler & Rhythm programmer 235 collaborated with Guitarist/Bass The Noise and producer Patient Zero back in Toronto to come up with Copy Cat Suicide, a project to produce MUSIC THAT CAN NOT LEGALLY EXIST. To push the envelope of legality and intellectual property. To provoke controversy and promote sound collage and free exchange of sonic ideas. Just as we were on the brink of stuporstardom and critical disdain, I had to flee the country to begin work in Detroit as a Body Perforator and Tattooist at Johnson Tattoo Studio. But, the sonic travesty and plunderphonics continue!
