I featured all the articles from the printed version, plus many more, including interviews with Pigface, Stereo MC’s, and ZIA.įor the next two years, the electronic Chaos Control evolved. Screenshots from the original Hypercard version of Chaos Control Screen from the original Hypercard versionĪfter teaching myself Hypercard, I was able to finish the first electronic issue about three months later. So why bother even printing it? I looked around for tools that would enable to create an electronic magazine, and selected Hypercard. Chaos Control was designed on a computer, and distributed mainly to people with computers. That issue was sold in a few local record stores, but the majority of the copies were sold by mail order through on-line promotion. The lead feature was an exclusive interview with Trent Reznor, who I met over the Prodigy on-line service, and other bands covered included Single Gun Theory, Meat Beat Manifesto, Utah Saints, and D.D.T. Issue #1 of Chaos Control was a small, 8 page black and white photo copied magazine. Because there were too many bands that I wanted to write about than my editors could ever use, I decided to start my own zine. I started work on Chaos Control in 1992 when I was in my Junior year at Emerson College (Boston, MA) and writing for various local music publications. While focusing primarily on electronic music, it also covers other styles and topics. Chaos Control is a pioneering electronic magazine that has been online since 1993.
