Artist description Born into a world of computers, programmers and engineers, butwith the blood of an artist, T.Bias formed 5,000 Fingers in 1996. Thegoal: to create music using computers without stylistic limitations.The genre created was merely coined as "bio-chaotic electronicmusic."The term "bio-chaotic electronic music" stems from the conscious focus ambiguity of the music. While manyartists try to focus the viewers attention upon a very specific item (let that be a feeling, a story, or political stance)5,000 Fingers attempts to move away from any such focus. The stories, feelings, or political stances expressedin the music are relative to the viewer's own conscious interpretation. The music is created in a similar method as free form poetry.Little conscious thought is spent on the "how's" and "why's" of the supposed message. Once a piece has been completed, T.Bias,along with the rest of the audience, must determine what this music really means to him. More often than not, words do not correctlyexpress the essence of the music.
