F/i

**F/i** is a Milwaukee-based experimental space rock collective that's been warping minds since the early 1980s. Founded by Brian Kramp, the band became synonymous with sprawling, synthesizer-driven soundscapes that blend krautrock rhythms, industrial grit, and kosmische hypnosis. Known for their use of vintage analog gear and a DIY ethos, F/i carved out a niche as pioneers of Midwestern psychedelia, often sharing stages with noise and avant-garde acts. Their recent releases—like the meditative *Space Mantra* (2022) or the cryptic *A Question For The Somnambulist* (2023)—show they’re still bending time with droning guitars, pulsing sequencers, and a knack for interstellar improvisation. Whether collaborating with outsider artists or testing new distortion pedals, F/i remains a cult favorite for anyone craving music that feels like a basement show on Mars.
