Press Release: What is the November 12 Projekt? Monday November 20, 2000
The November 12 Projekt is massive, representing nearly 13 years worth of work. This is a movie and it’s filled with action, suspense, and intrigue. There are surprises, twists, turns, tricks; there are high-speed police chases, manhunts, shoot-outs, and entire city sectors exploding. This adventure takes the traveler back in time, as well as forward into the future. There is Sci-fi and Science-fact. This is a movie sountrack with one particular track that will take you approximately 5 billion years into the future. This new media represents Super Advanced Concepts. We feature All Major Elements: Hip Hop/Rap, Rock, Funk, Electronic, R&B, Soul, Adult Contemporary, Horrocore and so forth. We have something for everybody. For those who are really wanting to know, roughly 6 of the 19 musical tracks contain Rock/Acoustic elements. If one were to randomly skim through the disc, one might be led to believe that it’s some new Red Hot Chile Peppers, Limp Bizkit, Hard Rock, World Beat, or even mellow Folk release. It’s all fully calculated.
The N12 Projekt is much like a choose your own adventure with multiple, multi-dimensional endings. The horrorcore track is paranormal and an alternate reality in itself. All of the songs are perfectly balanced. For example: After the intro, narrated by a Washington State P.O.W., you arrive at Track 2 which is titled
“The End.” So, the first track on the disc is “the end” ...or is it? Ill Circle talks about stalking fake M.C.’s from different parts of the country who are on MP3. They talk about entire legions of lyrical assassins mobilizing and hiding out in the shadows. Just when you think that you’re going to see thousands of mushroom clouds light up the sky, beautiful sounds permeate and everything is once again peaceful...But, is it really? It’s completely
unpredictable-completely.
November 12 is many things. N12 is autumn. N12 are the leaves of fall. N12 is the wind. N12 is white, green, and gold...orange, brown, and black. N12 is battleship-gray with clouds. N12 is night, pitch-black, with a coming cold front-a storm. The streets appear to be empty and there is a strange feeling in the air. Leaves begin to swirl, it’s getting colder, and now there is some kind of unseen warning signal going off. In your mind’s eye, you can see a glowing-red beacon wane. Something psychic tells you that this isn’t going to be your average storm and that whatever is about to happen, will have worldwide ramifications. How? What? You think, no way! How could it be? It’s just a CD. That’s what you think.
N12 is an entity that we all created. N12 is the winter...ice...rain...hail...sleet...and snow. N12 is dynamic.
N12 is truly multi-dimensional. A lot of power and energy has been transformed into this creation, and it represents the continuum. It’s all one cohesive Epic story. Every song on this CD is a winner. We have top talent from every area code in the Puget Sound. Our roster includes artists who gradutated from Western Washington University (WWU) in Bellingham, international University of Washington students, Edmonds graduates, and students from other colleges and universities throughout the 50 states. We have internatioanl artists from Japan, and liaison with Brazil, Europe, and other nations. This projekt is a big deal for the countries involved. Yuichiro Honda for example, makes a special appearance on the November 12 album, is from Hokkaido, Japan, and was the #1 guitarist at EdCC under the famous Jazz instructor before graduating.
N12 consists of Latino, Filipino, Black, Asian, Caucasion, Irish, and so on. It’s the most culturally diverse major release in Washington’s history that we’ve ever heard about. Tracks on the CD were carefully selected and matched. The tracks are high-power, high-energy, specially engineered and world class mastered. Thi
