Before making his first experiments with electronic music in late 2003, Martin Sane had worked for years with acoustic instruments. This knowledge helped realizing the purely electronic project Fix8:Sed8 which revealed Sane´s preferences for dark, interlocked soundstructures influenced by bands such as Skinny Puppy and Velvet Acid Christ. Especially vocals and the excessive use of all kind of samples in Fix8:Sed8´s music are based on Sane´s preferences for Ogre´s and Erickson´s work. But the more songs Sane made for the forthcoming album "humanophobia" the more he started to integrate clubsounds and dance-elements into his music. Fix8:Sed8´s contribution to last year´s Zillo-Sampler vol.10 "blasphemia" is one of the songs from this period.

In January 2005 Sane met sound-wizard Daniel Myer (Haujobb, Destroid) who decided to produce "humanophobia". The result is a record with an amazing diversity on all levels, yet with the characteristic Fix8 -sound, especially after the support of Huseyin Koroglu (Phunkmob) and Steve Dragon (In Strict Confidence) at the final stage of the production. In early 2006 Fix8:Sed8 joins Sonic Seducer´s annual "battle of the bands"-competition and comes in second in one of the two categories. Fix8:Sed8´s contribution to the popular sampler "Endzeit Bunkertracks II", the song "monolith", is a homage to Skinny Puppy and Puppy-related music and one of the highlights on "humanophobia".
