ABOUT

Looking to start an electro-punk/electroclash/post-punk/noise band or something. Hopefully something that isn't predictable and formulaic. Open to ideas. I can play bass, guitar and program electronic gadgets. I cannot sing unless a very unmusical sonic rendering of a wounded animal is your thing

I am also open to working with artists as a fairly janky DIY producer/sound engineer. I have a pretty respectable yet highly portable studio rig and mic locker and modest amount of knowledge of how to use them.

Not the slightest bit interested in playing covers (unless they are really fu*ked up covers of obscure songs) or playing blues, rock or blues-rock
