Factory Underground Tech Instructor's Animation Project Selected for Kapow Intergalactic Film Fest

Factory Underground Tech Instructor Kenny Cash's unique project "iLL Opera" has been selected for the Kapow Intergalactic Film Festival, being shown on Saturday, February 19, 2021. The next-level animated "cyber punk rock opera," with an all-original libretto and music score composed, produced, and recorded by Cash, and special guests, represents the type of cutting edge project Factory Underground Tech students are exposed during the school year.

Animation for the project was done by Factory Underground Tech's own Guzman Gonzalez, who teaches visual design, web design, and other graphic arts. 'ILL Opera" is Gonalez's first animated project, and his first creative collaboration with Cash. The two plan to continue developing the work with additional story lines, that will feature special guest musical performers voicing new characters to come.

Factory Underground Tech Student Alex Slogoff Releases "Hurting Yourself" on her New Label

Factory Underground Tech is proud of our student Alex Slogoff [@Alex.slogoff] 's 2nd release, "Hurting Yourself," which was released today, (February 5th 2021) on major streaming platforms via her Record Label, On Track Beats, featuring vocalist Angelyse Mariah.

"Hurting Yourself" is her artist, @angelysemariah 's debut single as well. Alex met Angelyse through a Clive Davis program at NYU. While interning at the Factory Underground Alex came across an instrumental that was created by one of the owners, Kenny Cash. Alex immediately thought Angelyse's vocals and smokey tone could compliment the r&b laid back feel of the instrumental.

Listen to "Hurting Yourself" on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6rIVRjedvizN2UDnkPOwB2?si=tjWjQK47TmuFcf0a8PJm0g

Listen to "Hurting Yourself" on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/hurting-yourself/1549357688?i=1549357690

Lyrically the song expresses the feelings associated with a broken relationship and strength that is needed to turn away from it.

Alex is planning another release penned by spring 2021.
