subject : [f/a/v] members : michael krauss --- athlon 1000 --- amiga 500 --- roland spd-11 --- waldorf micro q age : 26 location : regensburg / germany socioeconomical status : 2.53 based on Hollingsheads 4-factor index of social status michael krauss started producing music about seven years ago with his beloved amiga, terrorizing mostly himself with noisy gabba tracks. after buying a pentium machine in winter 1996 he gave his project the name f a v (stands for fucking and vomiting) and started adding vocals to his songs. f a v's music is influenced by all the styles michael likes, such as industrial, noise, punk, electric body music, drum'n'bass, breakbeat and even some sorts of jazz. some of the bands that have an influence on his output are einstürzende neubauten, nine inch nails, wumpscut, ea80, mentallo & the fixer, winterkälte, prodigy and lard. resulting from this, f a v's tracks are groovy, noisy, intense and some kind of sick. in 1998 f a v recorded his first album, titled "miscellaneous", and burned some copies on cd-r. having more luck than he deserves, michael met karl, mastermind of b-ton-k, who was about to start a label and liked the tracks. "miscellaneous" was released in march 1999 on daham recordings and was distributed by novatekk (r.i.p.). immediatelly after this release, he started working on some remixes and new tracks. in august/september 2000 enough tracks for a new album were finished, rudy r. heard them and released it under the name "feinde auf valium" on his label mental ulcer forges in february 2001. that's the story so far. big thank-yous go out to karl (for making the release of "miscellaneous" possible), rudy ":wumpscut:" r. (for finalizing the mix of "miscellaneous", letting me appear on the totmacher single and for the support for "feinde auf valium"), everyone at novatekk and connected (for doing a great job), pat ze blue (for webspace on insania.com) and to everyone who encouraged me !
