Shadow Fax
Progressive does not begin to describe Jason Rivers. Those of you that loved Transport and all the cool digital fills, super tech guitar work will know how talented Jason Rivers is. From the vintage Moog and Korg Programming to overlaid digital wizardry, you will be blown away by this new music. A couple songs like Distance and Everyone in LA is a Star are completely mind blowing. The amazing new CD Chemical Resort will be released at eth Fat Cat on October 2nd. You will need to be at this surreal multimedia experience. - Modesto View

Shadow Fax’s music has a very Orbital Feel with a nice balance of melodies.

Bio
The sometimes painful sight of a one-man band with two turntables and a microphone has become so clich as to beg for innovation in recent years. This is what makes Shadow Fax so refreshing to fans and critics like. Lead by front man Jason Rivers, the final product is a very contemporary blend of songs that has been described as electronic, down-tempo, and experimental. Often it blurs the lines between these and other genres.
Virtually all material performed by Shadow Fax is solely written and produced by Jason Rivers. Although Rivers plays many instruments, it is the modern equipment and software that allows him to extract and blend landscape sounds that can be found nowhere else. Rivers has a storied musical background, including being a founding member of the alt-rock outfit Transport, which enjoyed considerable success. However, Rivers believed that more walls that needed to be raised.
"I had to destroy main stream rock and roll in order to save myself... I simply got bored. Rivers
Luckily for us, Rivers has parlayed his boredom into infectious beats and captivating songs that often send a welcome swell through your entire body.
Shadow Fax has consistently added to its loyal fan base from the start. Word quickly spread about live performances, which includes mind blowing, sequenced digital visuals. His live sets sure make for one great multi-media experience.
Currently exploring another alter ego Alt Elect Rock Project called 'Rogue Sixx." www.roguesixx.com
