Strings Of Consciousness has united acoustic music and digital technology.
Their sound is meant and dreamt to be adventurous and creative.
Even if they sculpt and craft their music with a lot of focus on detail and days and days of editing, the most important is to convey emotions, feelings.
Many musicians and singers take part in the collective though the music is composed by Hervé Vincenti and Philippe Petit.

"From Beyond Love" is now released on the German imprint STAUBGOLD
http://www.staubgold.com/
Second installment from their trilogy involving various vocalists, whose first effort "Our Moon Is Full" was internationally acclaimed back in 2007. In the meantime they released a disc of remixes + a collaboration with Angel on Important/Conspiracy, and took longer to produce this new one because in the meantime Petit was really busy with his solo + collaborative works...
But here they are with an incredible line up of vocalists consisting of Julie Christmas (Made Out Of Babies), Andria Degens (Pantaleimon / Current 93), Graham Lewis (Wire), Cosey Fanni Tutti (Throbbing Gristle) and no less than Lydia Lunch in duo with Eugene Robinson from Oxbow.
Andy Diagram (Spaceheads/Pere Ubu) is still contributing his magical trumpet, Alison Chesley (Helen Money) delights with her amplified cello...
