PTSMC's "Transmission #12"

Ever wish a song would go on forever? Or what about shortening one that's too long? Or you wish a track would get noisy or would settle down? Pine Tree State Mind Control -- a noise project based in Maine, USA -- lets you shape your individualized programming via their new app / release "Transmission #12".

This release is NOT a random selection of pre-recorded tracks. Each track is created on the fly within the app, and it is extremely unlikely that you will ever hear the same one again. Yes, there will be common elements that you'll hear in different tracks. However, since nobody complained about the sameness of drums/guitar/bass for decades, you probably won't complain either. YOU pick the song length. YOU choose how chaotic it is.

If you've heard Pine Tree State Mind Control in the past, you will recognize the sterile mud of PTSMC's sound. If you are a new listener, welcome!

Pine Tree State Mind Control uses subliminal messages and hypnosis techniques to create a happier, more productive society. The messages contained in this app will help you work harder, smile more often, and get the best out of your leisure time.

PTSMC is often categorized as industrial/noise. We've shared stages with bands of many styles: dark ambient, harsh noise, power electronics, powernoise, EBM, doom metal, gabber, hipster rock, experimental, cybergoth, and [enter name of style that only you like]. Nobody dances. Everyone smiles. Even the bald power electronics guy with the GG Allin tattoo who just threw his microphone at you in the last set.

We sincerely hope this output from PTSMC changes the way music is created and distributed. Don't chalk that down as hubris. Instead, consider the egos of the artists through the years who have tried to tell YOU, the listener, what a good song is. Why leave it to them to shape what you hear? Consider this: Your favorite PTSMC track from this release is one that the members of PTSMC themselves have not heard. We defer to your preferences.

Usage Note: This app is not like an instrument. Rather, it generates entire tracks based on your input. Tapping the screen every couple of seconds is only playing you a couple of seconds of a new track. The usage is intended to be click-once-play-forever. Also, pressing the same part of the screen won't give you the same track. It will instead give you a track with the same feel. Enjoy!
