Amor Fati started in the 80s post-punk area of DIY music. There was the thriving cassette trading culture, fanzines and everywhere people making their own sound sculptures. There was the NYC scene of No Wave and the rejection of mainstream music with an emphasis on everything alternative culture had been offering since the DADA movement. The cassette technology offered the perfect means for anyone to record themselves and let “quality” and careful planning be thrown to the wind, all the mattered was capturing the moment, the immediacy and the intensity of unfiltered creation through typical filters such as training , rock tropes, standard chord or blues progressions. The first Amor Fati vinyl releases were created on 4 track cassette recorders and mixed to stereo cassette. Now with newer and cheaper technology it is possible to recapture those analog/tape recordings and reissue them.
The entire Amor Fati catalogue is gradually being captured, remixed and reissued in the highest most impractical format possible; digital 24bit/96khz and through the physical format of BluRay discs.
The first release is the project called “Will To Live”. A vinyl EP that quickly sold it’s 1k units and was never re-issued. The band thrived in the culture of City Gardens in Trenton, NJ. They opened for bands such as; The Fall, The Gun Club, The Butthole Surfers and in NYC they opened for such bands as Genesis P-Orridge's Psychic TV. When it was first released it received copious fanzine attention (Option, Forced Exposure, etc) and commendations from such musicians Steve Albini. The 8 track Tascam reel-to-reel tapes were converted to 24bit/96khz and remixed for stereo and surround sound (5.1). The original intention was to just re-release CDs but the BluRay format offers video and inclusion of reviews, pictures and music files.
