Thank You is Zach Stone and Jordan Fein.

We both had worked together in the local band Robert Jones, Stone as a recording engineer and Fein as a violinist. Shortly after a brief visit to SXSW with Robert Jones, we began to develop another project, devoted equally to the music we had been a part of and the cinematic dedication which we had been honing at the Richardson High School Communications Magnet. After we sorted through many different musical and visual concepts, we soon understood that we would have to take both our experience in music and film in order to combine them to formulate an approach. Inspired by the far reaches of cinema such as Jan Švankmajer as much as by the Flaming Lips and Can, we wanted to invoke different feelings through a primarily musical experience, though one that would most likely be new and foreign to the audience.

Thank You is a surround sound visual installation that is intended to be viewed as a performance. It is a band that could never exist live. It is a movie with no characters or setting. Through music of polar styles, Thank You comes with the purpose of cultivating as well as making sense of noise. Employing a variety of instruments as well as collaboration with a number of people, we sought to bring disparate parts into a surprising and alien though refreshingly homeostatic harmony. We have taken the time to infuse old elements into new things and new elements into old things; bringing the found-object art of animators into the sound production; bringing the improvisation of jazz and krautrock into graphic production and post production.

Thank You is a concert from space. It is an ephemeral transmission and will be bizarre to some and comforting to others. We aim to hypnotize and transport the audience as well as entertain them.

Jordan Fein, 18, a violinist of 12 years and cellist, as well as a photographer and artist whose work has been featured at a handful of local events. Zach Stone, 19, and Jordan attend the Maurice Kanbar Institute of Film & Television in New York University's Tisch School of the Arts. Zach has worked as a recording engineer for various productions in the Dallas area. Both intend to go on to transcend time and space.

We are Thank You.
