The Disinfonation project is named after a combination of the words "Disinformation" (the deliberate dissemination of false information; ie, propaganda) and the word "nation" meaning a collective of people. This concept of thinking for yourself is the basis through which a majority of the subject matter of the music is developed; in fact, a large portion of the music (and lyrics) are directly influenced by material that appear in the essays of Kurtis Thorne.

Disinfonation is an "industrial" music project based in the United Kingdom music scene combining traditional rock / metal band elements (drums / crashing guitars etc) with experimental and modern techniques (eg. sampling, synthesis, and live effects processing).· The freedom these techniques give to Kurtis allow for a wide variety of expression within the music, and opens up a variety of methods to convey ideas.

The line up consists (as will always be the case) of one man; known as Kurtis Thorne. The project was originally conceived as a method of fulfilling the need for creating a highly personal brand of music; However, the other bands involved with at the time (Lucys Drowning, Far From Silence) were of a more traditional rock music style, and as such were inefficient for the process. The music takes the word "independent" far away from the now cliché meaning it has undertaken. In this case it stands to mean; quite literally, that every aspect of the ideas and production process is undertaken by Kurtis Thorne. This leads (in his own words) to "a far deeper glimpse into how my mind functions, albeit a disturbing and eclectic place to be".

Once written; the music is translated into a live format to be performed with the help of a live band. This was taken as a necessary requirement because "it would be boring to watch a single person playing a keyboard".

Set on a constant process of recording / performing, the Disinfonation project is highly involved via an on-line presence; check this space for all updates relating to the music / live / and conceptual aspects of the cult of Kurtis Thorne!
