CoS Audiography: Episode 013: “An Interview with Jeremy Kolosine, part 4″
By Len Comaratta on June 27th, 2011 in
In this edition of Audiography, I continue talking with Jeremy Kolosine, founding member of Futurisk.
As we continue to talk about Futurisk, Kolosine describes what it was like using electronic instruments and early synths in the days before the development of MIDI and the inherent difficulties in playing as well as recording on such instruments.
We also talk about the re-release of Futurisk’s Player Piano EP on the Minimal Wave label and what led Kolosine to re-release the material after 30 years. The re-release was also coupled to the release of vinyl remixes by prominent artists such as Throbbing Gristle’s Chris Carter and Tom Furse of the Horrors.

CoS Audiography: Episode 012: “An Interview with Jeremy Kolosine, part 3″

In this edition of Audiography, I continue a discussion with Jeremy Kolosine, founder of early synthpunk band, Futurisk.
Leaving the 8-bit material behind for a bit, we jump back to the beginnings of Kolosine’s career in the mid-late ’70s in what has been hailed as the first synthpunk band in the American South.
Kolosine talks about his influences, spanning from art rock to prog rock and, of course, punk. We talk about the Florida scene and his band’s outsider status among a collection of “punk wannabees.”
We also get to hear about how James Murphy of DFA Records and, of course, LCD Soundsystem, re-discovered Futurisk in a New York City record shop over 20 years after Kolosine dropped off the record! That discovery led to Murphy releasing a Futurisk song on the Colette, No. 5 compilation and commissioning Kolosine to re-record LCD Soundsystem’s Sound of Silver as hexadecimally programmed Gameboy hardware “ringtones.”
