Price (incl. 19% VAT): €23.00 More Info About Workshop of Filthy Creation Created in early 2020 by American graphic artist Scott Summers and German-born guitarist/electronics engineer Karl Gottlaus, Workshop of Filthy Creation is a small privately funded record label that serves as the "official" production and distribution node for The Brain. Workshop of Filthy Creation also exists as a platform for the release of projects by other artists whose music exists somewhere in that vast gray area where experimental music and improvisational electronic music intersect. Workshop of Filthy Creation also intends to re-release works by various artists from the 1970s and 1980s whose music was either neglected or underappreciated during their time. The Brain's debut release Experiments for Guitar + Machines is also the debut release on Workshop of Filthy Creation, a label devoted to the exploration of noise, sound and music in an uncertain world. The Brain's initial album, available on vinyl and as a digital download, is a collection of experimental guitar/electronic soundscapes that recall the early work of Heldon, Cyborg-era Klaus Schulze, and the surreal kling-klang blitzkrieg of Conrad Schnitzler. Mesmerizing analog synthesizer drones collide with abrasive guitar textures to create dense sound collages that blur the distinction between industrial mayhem and ambient calm. If the true essence of music lies in its inherent unpredictability, then The Brain's initial release fully captures this anarchistic spirit. It is an approach to music that has been nearly abandoned in this new sterile age of MIDI and the endless programming of beats, where music has become merely a commodity for mindless consumption and perfunctory excretion. Available in LP/DD formats from Bandcamp at www.thebrainshop.bandcamp.com and directly from Workshop of Filthy Creation. For more information and orders, contact Scott Summers or Karl Gottlaus.
