Lapsed

Built on influences of industrial, IDM, and electronic artists of the ’80s and ’90s, Jason M. Stevens found himself exploring his own cut-up, IDM/illbient sounds in 1998. In 2002, Lapsed was born as an experimental electronic act. Ad Noiseam Records debuted the glitchy, atmospheric, "Twilight (ADN34)" to critical acclaim in 2004. While growing in notoriety, Ad Noiseam released subsequent records “Lapsed (ADN53)” with “The Death of Convenience (ADN87),” co-produced with nonnon.

Following a 13-year hiatus, Lapsed has self-released two records in 2020, to be reissues by CrunchPod Music in 2021: "A Weariness that Consumes and Destroys" signals the return to his darker atmospheric roots, while “Speculative Annihilation” finds influence in hazy ’90s IDM.

Lapsed has been commissioned for remixes by artists such as Mothboy, Cdatakill, Tekniq, Lexincrypt, [syndika:zero]. Throughout the early 2000s, Lapsed appeared onstage among prominent performers at festivals like Maschinenfest (Germany 2005), Rhode Island Noisefest (2005), SoukMachines Fest (Montreal 2006), Ad Noiseam Mayday Fest (Berlin 2009), and Vendetta Fest (Denver 2009). In addition to a successful tour with label mates Larvae in 2006, Lapsed played alongside notable acts Displacer, Cdatakill, Enduser, Manufactura, Mentallo & the Fixer, Wilt, KiEw, Jamie Lidell, Astronautalis, and many others.
