3kStatic: “Cohesion of the Separate”
In a 27-year career that’s seen collaborations with luminary artists from across the music spectrum– all the while posting multiple DJ chart Top 25s, an iTunes Europe #1 album, and three-time GRAMMY® Award “Best Electronic Album” ballot candidacies – the 3kStatic electronic music collective has continued to evolve, securing a unique place in the pantheon of deep-underground electronic music.
That evolution continues on “Cohesion of the Separate”, a 7-track immersive concept album that employs the project’s Dadaist ‘cut and paste/found sound’ approach in an exploration of electronic music forms – past, present and future.
Exploring elements of pan-Global Dadaist influences, “Cohesion of the Separate” is a traditional album concept – meant to be listened to in its entirety, and is a follow-up to the 2025 GRAMMY Award candidate “Restless Invention” (Best Electronic / Dance Album).
With releases on 22 labels worldwide since its inception in 1998, 3kStatic has been heavily influenced by the pioneers of industrial electronica – as well as the work of multi-media artists Guy Debord, William S. Burroughs and Byron Gysin.
3kStatic has collaborated with members, or former members, of: Kansas; Yes; ELO, Part II; Cabaret Voltaire; Hula; Pop Will Eat Itself; Public Enemy; Parliament-Funkadelic; Public Image Ltd.; King Crimson and others.
3kStatic has produced commissioned remixes for: Ku-Ling Bros.; KMFDM; Lords of Acid; Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee Chris Vrenna (Nine Inch Nails), and many others.
Evolver: Distinctive Electronica – a 3kStatic sample and sound library was released by Sony Creative Software in 2009, and was accompanied by the full album Evolver.
