Welcome to The ADHD Revolution. This is the world of audio graffiti and the AychEff. We've got good robots, killer robots, empty cans of spray paint and we can spin out more $#!@ing awesome words than the FCC can censor. The music spans all genres of electronica, dabbling in the realms of rap and rock... whatever. IDM, breaks, big beat, house, trance, trip-hop, downtempo, dub, psytrance, glitch, leftfield, electro, electronica, techno... the list goes on. Electronic music has more genre specifiers than any other kind of music. Pay attention to the labels attached to each subset and learn yourself a bit.
If you're new to the Funpack, then start with the music. If you like it, then read on.
Who are the AychEff?
:[ click on an image to do nothing ]: | |||
HF Zero | HF One | HF Syphon | HF Prime |
This is leaving out AychEff superstars like DJ Ayanami, AychEff Mom and so many others... it'll have to do. Starting from right-to-left, I'll quickly go over the four above.
AychEff Prime: The main mixer on "The ADHD Revolution" who tosses around words like "graphic artist", "coder" and "holy man" when he can be pried away from mixing or a woman. As he's a hitchhiker and a recluse, Prime's one of the two members of the ADHF that will always be described using phrases like "he's somewhere".
AychEff Syphon: Syphon was first to bring some true music artistry into the Happy Funpack, playing clubs and house parties all around Austin. His high-tempo drum & bass, breaks and house sets are his brushes, and a dance floor his canvas.
AychEff One: AychEff One is the Pack's hard-hitting boomstick, and second in command. His visual artistry has been described as "hypnotic", "tribal" and a whole lotta "what the @%$# just drop-slapped my ass off the dance floor" thrown in there. The fact that at any moment he could be behind the wheel of a tow truck or a wrecking ball brings a smile to our faces.
AychEff Zero: Zero, as a forward scout paratrooper in the U.S. Army, wore dog-tags that had "JEDI" printed on them. His writings, visual artistry and musical skills (among many others) are often described as "erratic genius". AychEff Zero (aka, "Chadwick", aka "DJ Chad Is a DJ") is the hardest of the ADHF to pin down, and no one can state honestly where he may be unless he's in front of them. Did I mention he created the HF? Fortunately, he can be found on MySpace and on Blogger. Here's the linkage:

Now, as to "what" we are... well... I believe AychEff Zero put it best, so I'll simply post his own writings:
'I have none of the dignity that my creations retain.'
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Implied the preacher. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
and yet its stock is ever so full of that which I lack.
So, can an impure person create a pure gem,
or is his life to govern what he creates? ~~~~~~~~~~~~
I don't believe it matters, one way or the other...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ (@ least I hope not!) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What reall matters-is the release. The flood gates drawn
back. The removal of yourself from the creative process.
For in that removal, the presence of art is all that remains.
The creative process is just that-a non involved wave of
an alien force which needs only the body to function.~
'It' draws upon your memories-not you.
'It' paints or writes or spins. It expects to get
your way.
- For instance -
- What is a Kung Fu honour pimp? -
- Why do physicians sterilize death row needles? -
what is the HappyFunPak?
what is AychEff?
Nothing Quick to grasp or quick to feel.
Not some stylized self improvement scheme.
Certainly no guru. Certainly not.
But a part of yourself.
Just an undiscovered portion - simply you -
But... not....
Think of it this way-
if a bunch of punk kids found the
reason why you love yourself- if they
wrote themselves down on paper
if they threw
it away.....would you believe them ten
years later. Could you swallow thier
story? with no proof?
Certainly not.
You would have to know. Punk kids, after all,
are shifty (at best).
And these kids... they did drugs.
lots - of - them
Punk kids on drugs who claim to.....whatever
luckily, however, they remembered the name
of the comic strip. . .
- on the HappyFunPak -
which is nothing more than 13 year old bastards
who have better things to do than pay attention to
their teachers. They have a pen and a spiral notebook -
they want money for tang and OK Sodas ... ....
They realize that middle schoolers love sex.....
that they love violence - dark humor -death-
things denied to them by the institutions they
must attend.
So the 13 year old bastards give a face
to what is secretly wanted by everyone ... even
teachers (to noones great surprise).
When the comics are created and taken
by authority - yet it's makers are no reprimanded
in any way- the production merely triple$
to make up for the 'soft copies.' And everbody
goes home happy.
But not me. No - not this one.
Are you still reading? Zero's writing really is... "something else". If we've entertained, would you like to read more? How bout AychEff Zero and Prime's hitchhiking romp thru Mexico with under a hundred-dineros without passports or, in Zero's case, even knowing the language? Here's the story posted AychEff Zero's blog:
