First you make a digital esophagus, but then you gotta feed that food pipe. Whip up a “Tastysynth” and jam it down that sound hole and you get some throaty, swirly tones that bounce across the beat and weave with the bass.
Below are a few of the on-air promos and bumpers produced by Cartoon Network, where “Tastysynth” served as the soundtrack.
It’s been said that an Invisible Snake is an infinite snake. All we know is that there can’t be infinite promos for said Snake, so we have four.
These promos span the analog and the digital, and the ephemeral and physical for our latest music EP Invisible Snake. Available for download or streaming on iTunes, Amazon, Google Play, Spotify and Apple Music.
Track 1: “Snakesnakesnake”
Origin stories start somewhere and are explained some way. Legend holds if you know about Invisible Snake you are a member of Invisible Snake. Welcome. Forty-four seconds to tell you how we got here.
Track 2: “Oh Sparky”
Loyalty to the Invisible Snake means everything and brand loyalty means nothing when visualizing how the Receiver receives and the Inceiver inceives. Minolta, Olympus, Canon, and Pentax bodies and lenses exposed light onto Kodak stock. Then, hand dipped into Rodinol and HC-110. Impactist’s favorite happy hour cocktail.
Track 3: “Invisible Snake”
What’s a movement without fundamental texts? Gotta learn those Snake ethics. Keep on top of the current tech and maybe upgrade your home Inceiver to better pair with last year’s Receiver. Upgain your throughput and enroll now for eternity later.
Track 4: “Trophyatrophy”
The Snake works in mysterious ways. Can’t always be digital flickers tweaked to the beat. This last promo is a real physical object. Film photography printed on newsprint. 289mm x 380mm / 24 pages
How does it work? For a limited time, you email us your postal address to info@impactist.com. We mail you the promo. You download or stream “Trophyatrophy” while you flip through the book. Done. You keep the promo as a physical piece of Impactist and Invisible Snake. You live the remainder of your days satisfied and fully developed as a freshly enlightened human being.
UPDATE: PRINT PROMOS OF “TROPHYATROPHY” ARE NO LONGER AVAILABLE. THANKS TO ALL WHO EMAILED SEEKING ENLIGHTENMENT.
Your future Snake is your Invisible now.

Last time we remixed audio from CN’s audience, we made a remix of Popsicle. This time, CN opened it up a bit wider and asked for a completely new track to pair with user submitted sounds. The result is “Stickers,” a hype micro jam from Kelly & Dan. (That’s Impactist FYI) As far as we’re concerned it makes Thursday the new Friday.
We searched through hundreds of CN Sayin’ App submissions, maybe near a thousand, to find choice samples to cut, crop, stretch, and stitch into a celebration of all things Thursday.
In addition, below are a couple of on-air ads produced by Cartoon Network, that feature the Kidless and Bass/Percussion versions of “Stickers.”
This past fall, we had the opportunity to create a whole new batch of short original tracks for our friends at Cartoon Network. Songs were made for a variety of uses ranging from promoting action programming to feature films on the network.
Below are the full :30 tracks set to some simple visuals we put together to occupy your eyes as you listen. Songs include “Ascend,” “Moovie,” “Moovie Simple,” “Cinemelt,” “Filmz,” and “Glitchwich.” The tracks were also resequenced into multiple versions and shorter durations for flexibilty of use by the network.
You can currently hear this latest batch of tunes and mnemonic jingles, along with our earlier anthems “Popsicle” and “Dreamsicle,” providing the soundtrack to the Cartoon Network’s recent on-air re-brand. Below are some of the current on-air promos produced by CN.
The track “Moovie,” debuted last year in CN’s Thanksgiving Night of New promos for the world premiere of Regular Show: The Movie. Below is one of the :30 spots produced by CN.
