Decoder is the stage name of drum and bass and jungle producer Darren Beale and Mark Caro.
Decoder was an American post-hardcore band formed in 2010 in Florida, brought together by former members that made-up the bands VersaEmerge, Oceana, and Of Machines. The band was signed to Rise Records and released one self-titled album with 10 tracks. The group performed a mellow, slow tempoed post-rock and ambient-influenced sound coupled with screamed vocals and heavy percussion, creating a sound unlike any other contemporaries.
On March 1, 2012, the band changed their name from Decoder to 'Lead Hands', settling a lawsuit of the group's original name due to a band from New Jersey of the same name. However, short months after the name change to Lead Hands, the band announced its dissolution.
Decoder is the self-titled debut album by post-hardcore band Decoder. It was released on January 17, 2011 and is the only release by the band aside from the standalone "Dreamwalker" demo song that the group released prior.
After this album, members Spencer Pearson and Bryce Sypes would leave and the band changed their name to Lead Hands in 2012, eventually breaking up later that year.
Decoder is a 1984 West German film directed by Muscha. It is a cyberpunk and counter-cultural film roughly based on the writings of William S. Burroughs, who also acts in the film. Bill Rice plays Jaeger ("Hunter"), an agent of the government in charge of suppressing dissidents, while FM Einheit plays a burger shop employee who discovers that by changing the background music from pleasantly calming to industrial "noise" music, he can incite riots and a revolution against the looming power of the government.
Decoder was made on a small budget, and was written by Muscha, Klaus Maeck, Volker Schäfer, and Trini Trimpop. Nevertheless, the project was able to attract a number of notable people within the countercultural and industrial music "scenes" to perform in it. Actors included Burroughs, Genesis P-Orridge, Christiane Felscherinow, and bands included Soft Cell, Psychic TV, Einstürzende Neubauten, and The The.
The film has been "oddly forgotten" and is not in wide circulation.
