For a while the alias was just used for these singles and a [[computer dreams (Artist)|Computer Dreams]] homage album, but discovering [[Vektroid]]'s music inspired them to continue the project. The project was temporarily retired in mid-2013 in favor of the alias Wakesleep, only formally returning six years later with a performance at 100% ElectroniCON 2 and the album [[SOUND CANVAS]].<br><br> | ||
A Twitter account was created on September 8, 2011 to promote and accompany the project.
