The band started in 1981 in the basement of an art school in when two art students,
Michael Trudgeon and Valek Sadovchikoff shared the same sonic space and found a
common love of sweeping oscillators.
They were soon joined by Steve Adam and Ramesh Ayar. Ramesh wrote several songs
with Informatics but soon moved on to other passions. Philip McKellar joined the band
in 1983.
Informatics were seduced and fascinated by the capabilities of analogue synthesizers.
In early performances, long before the advent of samplers, rows of synthesizers were
patched together to create unique percussion and instrumentation solely generated by
analogue synthesis. Informatics held a fascination for contemporary visual art and
moving images and this led to several concerts where the live performance was
accompanied by a large screen format video.The production elements in the videos
reflected Informatics philosophy on sound composition: the footage was entirely
pirated from television ads, manipulated and then collaged to create new narrative
that reinforced the music.
In 1983, Informatics released a 4 track CD, Dezinformatzia. In Australia it was
frequently played on alternative and college radio stations, but the conservative
mainstream showed no interest. In Berlin on the other hand there was already a
culture of electronic music literate fans and Proximity Switch, later renamed
Accidents in Paradise got onto the mainstream charts in late 1985.
Recently, DJ Moguai from Punx Records in Cologne has remixed the original
Accidents in Paradise and this remix will soon be featured on a Ministry
of Sound Compilation. For more information, see www.moguai.com
