Mechanised Convulsions

Genre: Electronica, Experimental, Gothic/Industrial

The Mechanised Convulsions project (MechCon for short) formed in late  2001 as a hobby, due to Daves interest and an acute passion in 
industrial music.

The name derives from the way that some of us feel, with the routines 
we have in lives, some necessary, some unnecessary but we have to 
pursue nevertheless, and there are times where we just break out of 
those convulsions or even use them for self control at the end.

As time has progressed, and other influences have appeared in the 
scene worldwide, as well as noticing the lack-of of an industrial 
music scene in Adelaide, Dave has taken his sound to a different 
level to what it was at the beginning, with more advances on the 
tools used for the sounds, he has gotten to a level of music 
consisting of angry, distorted, industrial/powernoise rhythms, 
blended in with melodies and ear-bleeding noises, to deliver a 
mixture of emotions expressed through sound.

Dave has recently performed at the Distorted 2005 Electronic Music 
Festival in Melbourne last year, and for a first performance, was 
given a warm response at the end of his set, which gave him the 
determination to continue his hobby.

Daves major influences are extremely broad, ranging from the more 
harsh-ebm acts like Suicide Commando, Terrorfakt, and Dulce Liquido,  to the harshest of powernoise acts, like Converter, Iszoloscope, Mono 
No Aware, Winterkalte, Hypnoskull, the list goes on!

MechCon has released two EP entitled Adelayed based on his more 
popular track (according to his comrades), and Retronoise (which is a free download off the label's website).
