flight attendants

about

While attending Iowa State University in 1994, Chuck Hoffman enrolled in a course called "Intro to Music Technology" which had its lab section in the university's Electronic Music Studio. Chuck saw this as an opportunity to start a new band, with himself as sole member. Taking the band name from clippings from a Socialist newspaper about striking flight attendants, Chuck began recording furiously over spring break, eventually releasing a cassette album, Fallen Man. After dropping out of ISU at the end of that semester, Chuck kept the project up through home-recordings, inventing a style he called "lo-tech industrial" built around Casio keyboards, guitar effects pedals, tape decks, and obsolete computers, self-releasing several cassette albums around Waterloo/Cedar Falls, Iowa. His compositions became increasingly built around noise and sound-collage before he gave up the project sometime around 2000. Later, Chuck self-released a 2-CD retrospective, Fictionalized For Your Protection. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
