Indian Ocean Satellite Loop

Is the name of my band.

Inspired or at least ripped off from a news wire I get which tracks weather patterns across the Indian Ocean fed to my Bloomberg. It really is a satellite picture.

The band will play a mix of electronica, folk, psychadelic rock, kinda like Air's Surfing on a Rocket + Flaming Lips' In the Morning of the Magicians + a bit of funk/soul.

I don't know what I will be doing in the band.

We will release our albums in reverse chronological order.

Our Greatest Hits album, a series of 25 songs will be released sometime next year... It will be a "complete and mature" compilation of Indian Ocean Satellite Loop's works accompanied by a commentary of each track.

Our Debut album will be released in 2020. It will be raw, cluttered and experimental, to reflect our youthful, naive, virgin foray into music.

Along the way, we will encounter breakups, makeups and a few sex scandals.

We will also include artists that we figure would best complement our sound for that album. So in keeping with the times, Lady Gaga would be a feature in our Debut album.

The music we produced will not be in a single CD/mp3 format.
Listeners would have to download (for free) different layers of our music separately and play them instantaneously to fully appreciate the multi levelled audio experience.
For instance, a piece of music will have 4 different layers of music : bass, synthesizers, vocals and other accompaniments.
Each layer will be released separately.

Listeners can choose to listen and play around with different combinations and in turn, create their own "Indian Ocean Satellite Loop" sound.

Every now and then, the band members will make personal deliveries of the "layers" on bicycle.

We will select a city/town and don bunny masks while making our deliveries, as homage to that Jackass prank where they wore Bunny suits on tandem bicycles with their breaks removed. And also an homage to Donnie Darko.

We might/might not perform in concert because it might/might not distract the band. We fear that external interactions over sustained periods might taint the purity of our sound.

We will not be corrupted by the dollar dollar bill.

We will not appear on Rolling Stones but will appear on Vibe.com.

We will not have video-hos.

We will have bunny-hos. Bunny tails must be at least a C-cup. All bunnies will be sterilised.

We will not get it crunk, until we release our remix of Mary J Blige's "Family Affair" in our 5th album.

We will also be active on Facebook.

We will not allow our music to be listened to by children under the age of 8, for reasons we will divuldge in our (last) Debut album.

We will play at Glastonbury but in mute.

I have full artistic control of the sound and image of the band. My genius will not be questioned and human sacrifices are a must on Tuesdays and alternate Sundays.

At some point, I will suffer from depression and get hooked on a series of soul numbing prescriptive drugs, which will be reflected in our sound in our 3rd album. I will then voluntarily go into rehab, shave my head and issue a sobering statement to the fans through ohnotheydidnt.livejournal.com.

No eating or drinking is allowed when performing.

We ban all use of lightsticks and lighters.

We will auction off our bunny masks to charity.

We will only use recycled paper when jotting down music ideas.

We will not use the word "Boomz" in any of our songs.
