FACTICE FACTORY (FR/CH) Cold Wave
Factice Factory

Factice Factory is a French and Swiss band and first of all the story of a longtime friendship between its members and common passion for cold, minimal and synthetic sounds. Its members include one of the original members of the band Rajna, Fabrice Lefebvre, the founder of the experimental project Thermafrost, Théotime Lefebvre and the songwritter François Ducarn. The project mainly finds its influences in the various movements of the early eighties such as Cold Wave, Minimal Wave or Post-Punk to quote just a few. Factice Factory is a free and openminded structure which does not seek to be catalogued into a particular musical niche but sees itself as an experimental sound laboratory. The bands work and evolution relies on the various musical influence of each of its members. Fabrice Lefebvre is well known for his musical curiosity and confirmed investment for the band Rajna for more than 17 years. His knowledge and know-how in terms of world music, etheral and neo-classic compositions are a reference on its own. Théotime loves to experiment and to mix various sound structures be it Ambient, Noisy-Rock, Drones or Post-Rock. He made himself known through his personnal project Thermafrost. François is a longtime follower of the so-called Post-Punk scene to which he has been attached for more than two decades. Always into gigs and fetivals with a true passion for photography and rock memorabilia his influences lie somewhere between Manchester and the german region of the Ruhr, where he grew up with the sounds of the German New Wave, the so-called Neue Deutsche Welle. Factice Factory is also a history of various travels both geographical and musical, a history of the heart, a tale of sharing and experimenting. In this regard the composition of songs in German, French and English was from the start quite obvious to each of the band members.
