We are Lorenzfactor (ró=28, sigma = 10, ß = 8/3) [from Lorenz attractor - chaotic map, noted for its butterfly shape. The map shows how the state of a dynamic system (the three variables of a three-dimensional system) evolves over time in a complex, non-repeating pattern, often described as beautiful. From a technical standpoint, the system is nonlinear, three-dimensional and deterministic] - in.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_attractor.

But I'm losing my edge.
I'm losing my edge, but I was there.
I was there.
But I was there.

I'm losing my edge.
I can hear the footsteps every weekend on the decks.
But I was there.
I was there in 2005 at the new year's eve party in Maus Hábitos in O'Porto City.

I'm losing my edge.
I heard you have a compilation of every good song ever done by anybody. Every great song by the Beach Boys. All the underground hits. All the Roxy Music tracks. I heard you have a vinyl of every Stockhausen record on German import. I heard that you have a white label of every seminal NY post-punk no-hit - 1979, '80, '81. I heard that you have a CD compilation of every good garage '60s cut and another box set from the funky '70s.
I hear you're buying an analogue synthesizer and a sequencer and are throwing your computer out the window because you want to make something real. You want to make a ElectroKraut record.
I hear that you and your band have sold your guitars and bought turntables.
I hear that you and your band have sold your turntables and bought Synths.
I hear everybody that you know is more relevant than everybody that I know.

LorenzFactor’s freestyle sets become a rock concert, where you can mosh with Sex Pistols while dancing to Pump Up the Jam and waiting just for that f****n trash version of Song 2. Just an insane NuRave Party…
(de Lorenz Attractor - mapa caótico que toma a forma de borboleta. Este mapa mostra como o estado de um sistema dinâmico (de 3 variáveis de um sistema tridimensional) evolui no tempo num complexo padrão irrepetível, descrito frequentemente como Belo) - em en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lorenz_attractor.
Este colectivo notabiliza-se pelo ecletismo e humor dos seus sets e pela energia transmitida detrás dos decks, tornando um simples dj set num festivo concerto rock. As suas diferentes propostas de sets e live acts (Combat Djing, , All-Day Parties, Active Jam, Dinner Djing e o live act experimental de música exploratória - Lysergic Call) torna-os uma escolha alternativa para qualquer uma noite em que o lema seja Party on!
Os seus sets freestyle são multifacetados, intensos e alucinogénicos para quase qualquer tipo de público e ambiente. O que sobressai neste colectivo é serem melómanos apaixonados com um sem número de influências, querendo partilhar esta paixão com o público. Diferentes clubes, diferentes ambientes, diferente público, diferentes sets. Exploram desde a world music e a música multi-étnica até ao jazz em todas as suas vertentes, abrangendo a experimentação e a fusão da electrónica e da electro-acústica, o glamour dos ambientes retro, o groove do funk e do mutant disco, o heat do acid jazz, a alegria do boogie woogie ou do dance-hall, o kitsch dos 80's, a divagação sonora do moog e do krautrock, o devaneio catártico do rock, punk, new wave e post-punk e a sinestésica introspecção exógena do chill-in&out.
Actualmente estão envolvidos em diversos projectos com maquinaria analógica de carácter eclético-esquizo-experimental. Nestes projectos (LorenzFactorY, Cage Cabarrett e O Professor & O Phalosofo) os LorenzFactor revelam o seu desejo visceral de experimentação sónica. São o Psycho-Underground de qualquer instituição psiquiátrica que se preze!!!
