Los Bosmos, 2008. While real-world kids were downloading songs on iTunes and MySpace was dying, BBC dropped an animated series about teenagers using musical frequencies to fight corporate mind control. The show was weird, expensive, and absolutely ahead of its time.

Freefonix is a special show as it was part of my childhood. I remember when I was coming back to school just to turn on TV and watch newest episodes that were air on channel named "ZigZap". That show was something unique and the best thing that hit me most was music. On every episodes I was awaiting that special moment when you hear "Sound Clash".




In my opinion the show came out ahead of it's time. Now as an adult person I'm able to see the things that were hard for me to see. In this show there is no typical good vs evil battle but it's more about showing world where music is free and authentic vs big corporations making it just for selling and mass producing.
We geting look at two diffrent groups Freewavers and Prepsi. The first one belives that music should be community driven where anyone can take a part create something. In oposite we have Prepsi with stands for being clean, catchy though lacking soul.




On the first episdoes of the series we get introduced to one of the main characters BB who is part of prepsi girl "BCD". Later thanks to help of Freez she joins Freewave though as you watch shows longer she steal is being tied by her past as ComaCo still has contract even when she left BCD ( episode "Back by Unpopular Demand")
That shows how big corporations can still tie you and make sure you not leave that easly.




The show intoduced new concepts like being guardian of the Thirteenth Note a mistical musical frequency beyond the standard 12-note chromatic scale. It's not something you learned but you are connected with it or corupted. Each guardians has own unique power with is mostly connected with their instrument's. In show we have another band Mantyz that works for ComaCo and they are also able to use Thirteenth Note power but it's not pure on like Freefonix can do.




Soundclashes were my fav parts of each episode they were not the typical fights but rather. When the soundclash starts both bands are getting pulled into pocket dimension using this method gives unique flavour to scene and reduce distraction by focustin on characters and most important music. That part is just amazing lot of time each band songs merges together making one amazing song.

That would be all for today see you in part 2!
