Factory 3

In 2002, coL began working with a 1970's Super 8 camera. More than 10 rolls of film
were shot and edited down to 2 minutes, for a video for the song "Monkey Puzzle".
It was at this time that Factory 3 was created, for video work.

DeadDesigns

Unsatisfied with other graphic designers, and the treatment of his artwork by record labels,
in 2005, coL created DeadDesigns to house his design work.

Shifty Disco August 2005

The balance between pop music and art has been quite abstract in the last 30 years.
The work of Talking Heads and Composer - Producer Brian Eno in the early 1980's is such a harmony.
The focus of popular musics has largely been a systematic formula of what Eno describes as "very pyramidal".
A class system where the lead vocal is at the head of the class. This legates the rest of the instruments and sounds to the backround.
What interests coL is the scope of many sounds building to create a sonic landscape that is similar to a flat shape. Also, to have
each piece of music (song) exist on it's own in space. Not rooted down by any chord structure or boundary. A lot of
what Eno was aiming for, while creating such work, was to physically place the concept of music in a new place,
as well as in our minds. It is brave. A lot of what makes up the nature and scape of coL's music is similar.
The focus of creating sounds that are understated and modest releases them from any role or idea,
and they are free to go where they may, very similar to the concept of improvisation.




Amplifier Magazine March / April 2006

"JesusWarhol Records and all the industries of Colin Lipe are coming to a place where people
who not only want escape, but escape forward, can find a friend, ear, and object of both implicit
function and exquisite beauty. Dancers, farmers, philosophers, and pizza makers all have
a valued position in the world of coL. Try playing some James Brown and watch
the vibrational patterns of the universe show themselves to you. Love the
old fashion way. Selfless. We wouldn't work without us."
