Band History
Guitarist and vocalist Daniel Quinlan had been recording demos on a four track in his apartment for songs such as "With the Force of 1000 Horses" (later shortened to "1KHP"), and "No More To Say". He put together a band featuring Naythen Wilson, (bass); Brian Luciano, (drums); and Andrea Pullen, (keys). They rehearsed for a few short weeks, but the line-up did not last. Quinlan then went to fellow guitarist Spence Callahan, who had performed with him the previous year in a one-off group called I'm Not Gorgeous. In need of a drummer, he contacted Sam Hall. They soon after started rehearsing and writing new material. When bassist Naythen Wilson had to leave the group unexpectedly, Quinlan brought in Dan Popovic.

Recordings
In early 2000 Macrofuser recorded six songs at Big Sound Studio (Westbrook) with engineer Joe Brien at the board. The songs included "1KHP", "No More To Say", "Tell Me", "Nocturne", "Fun in Failure", and "Last Life".

In mid-late 2001 a two-song recording with the songs "Shields" and "Pins and Needles". These were engineered by Jon Wyman at Big Sound Studio.

Notable Appearances
Macrofuser appeared on Portland radio station WCYY for local music show "Spinout" (then hosted by Shawn Jeffery) and performed an acoustic version of "Light Years". This song would later appear on the Null Hype E.P. When You're Dreaming.

Disbanding
They disbanded amicably in late 2003 when Popovic and Hall moved out of the state for personal and professional reasons.
