Your future Snake is your Invisible now!
Invisible Snake Promos
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.

FXX – The Simpsons
When we’re asked to go off-model, we go off-model. To help promote Every Simpsons Ever on FXX, we were asked to craft something new and unexpected that was recognizably Simpsons, but not properly Simpsons. We reduced and reorganized characters and hitched and halted animated movement in an effort to be Simpsons-esque… but, definitely not Simpsons proper. The characters almost merge, but not quite. If one were so daft they may say they are Marging, not merging.
70mm Cruel Drool Dual Jewel Analog – Yule Log 2.015
What’s up yule foolz? Only complete toolz deny the annual logz of yoolz. This year we kicked the format up about as far as it can go short of IMAX and opted for vertically composed 70mm film for 2015’s nod to the log. It’s got drool. It’s got dual jewelz. It’s got action that’s on the mild side of cruel. And, despite its delivery being digital, this egg-nog paired log has originated from the analog.
Keep the shiny side up and your negatives uncut, and let the log’n rock your noggin.
Be sure and check out all of this year’s Yule Log 2.015 loops at watchyulelog.com
Thanks to Yule Log 2.0 creator/curator Daniel Savage and digital agency Wondersauce for putting this together each year!
