Force Theory Band
Active: 1997-2005
The Force Theory Performance Band was founded in 1997 and played stage shows and private events around the New York City area until 2005. The Band was made up primarily of students from New York University. The band's music was a blend of Funk and Electronic. The lead vocals were provided by "Ionic", "Rai"(pronounced Ray) and Master of ceremonies "Mike Noise". The band usually played a 1 hour non-stop set produced by "Sanford" and "Ionic". Their stage shows were known for frenetic choreography, props and inventions. The band claims to never have performed the same show twice.
Ion ("Ionic") of the band developed the "human piano" installation which uses low level electricity to put sound into a person, who is then attached to a speaker system to amplify the sound.
The band's name was derived from the Unified Force Theory.

Famous quotes containing the words force, theory and/or band:
“Undoubtedly if we were to reform this outward life truly and thoroughly, we should find no duty of the inner omitted. It would be employment for our whole nature.... But a moral reform must take place first, and then the necessity of the other will be superseded, and we shall sail and plow by its force alone.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“A theory of the middle class: that it is not to be determined by its financial situation but rather by its relation to government. That is, one could shade down from an actual ruling or governing class to a class hopelessly out of relation to government, thinking of gov’t as beyond its control, of itself as wholly controlled by gov’t. Somewhere in between and in gradations is the group that has the sense that gov’t exists for it, and shapes its consciousness accordingly.”
—Lionel Trilling (1905–1975)
“The band waked me with a serenade. How they improve! A fine band and what a life in a regiment! Their music is better than food and clothing to give spirit to the men.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
