Psychronic Continuum Review	Lethality Scale Review	DROBOT! Review

• I really love the projects you are involved in, how would you describe them?
  

What I'll do is answer all of these questions individually as a representative of each group.

Psychronic Continuum- Dark Experimental Electronic
Lethality Scale- Electro/Industrial
DROBOT!- Electro/Fusion

• What track are you most proud of?
  

P.C. -- "Since I consider myself on a path of constant evolution, I'm usually happiest with my latest track. If I was to pick a song that best describes PC as a concept or whole, I'd have to pick "De-lesional", "Nanoparticles" or "Classified:HR8791"".
L.S. -- "I think the tracks we're most proud of would have to be "2134234 o'clock" and "Psybernetics". Both songs challenged us on many fronts. Both songs were written and produced over a span of 32 hours."
DROBOT!-- "The best songs we've got by far is "Galactic Alignment" and "Rabbit Whole". Since we're a trio of blood brothers that live in seperate areas of the earth, we don't have much time to rehearse, write, or play. We've all got seperate music projects as well. "Rabbit Whole" was the first song we did, and did it in 12 hours."

• Who or what has been the biggest influence on your music?
  

P.C. --"Skinny Puppy. No question, without a doubt. Nivek Ohgr & Cevin Key are certainly the Gods of Industrial. People like Trent Reznor with all the millions of dollars he has could never buy the amount of talent behind all forms and faces of Skinny Puppy."
L.S. --"KMFDM, Pigface, Ministry, Nine Inch Nails, Skinny Puppy, Opeth, Children of Bodom."
DROBOT!--"Pink Floyd. Before there was anything of the likes of industrial music, Pink Floyd had already done that. Proof? "One of These Days" circa 1975, "On the Run" circa 1972 and "Astronomy Domine" circa 1969."

• Is playing live important to you or do you prefer being in the studio?
  

P.C.--"Both are unique. As PC, it's easier to be in the studio. It's experimental. Experimenting in front of an audience doesn't always go over well. Playing live has it's rewards, but the magic is in the makeup."
L.S. -- "Playing live is fun. We go to different cities & towns and meet other bands. It's a lot of fun. Getting your name on the street is very important. People hear the sounds on a CD or Mp3, but nothing is like having the sound wave move through you."
DROBOT!--"We dig playing live. That's our spot."

• Is there anything exciting happening in the near future for all or some of your projects?
  

Free World Radio Telecasting-- We're gathering steam here in the Central Florida region for electronic music. 12 years ago, the city of Orlando banned "raves." The Florida electronic scene was shattered practically overnight. Along with other artists in the Orlando area, we're going to galvanize it. We're going to shed stereotypes and perhaps convince the city of Orlando to help sponsor it. We're going to have an electronic music festival some time in December 2009. Keep an ear out for it! All the groups associated with Free World Radio Telecasting will be in attendance, plus many, many more acts!"
