Brutal forms 8

Gruntsplatter solidified in 1994 after a year or so of experimenting. I've always sought to weave together elements that span the spectrum of dark experimental music to create a soundtrack for the concepts that inspire me. Disregarding the bramble of sub-genre feels like the best way to evoke my intentions. The ideas are the impetus for each release, they allow me to find a focus and score a narrative. However, I'm not dictating. What the listening experience produces is up to the individual. I prefer people to stumble on something of their own.

After a break from music for a number of years I was reinvigorated in 2016 by discovering modular. It's been cathartic and fascinating to start again. I hadn't played a show in well over a decade, so playing this set was a puzzle I'm glad to have cracked.

My other projects include The Corvidae Cabal, and collaborations with a number of fine folks over the course of doing all this. I've also run Crionic Mind Records off and on since 1995.

The origins of Envelope Muse can be traced back to the early 2000s in the coastal deep south of Western Australia. A profound connection to dark 
ambient, harshnoise, industrial, soundtrack and film composition inspired early experimentation with a 4 track recorder, a guitar, a mic and effects pedals, and from those humble beginnings the work of Envelope Muse 
evolved into the dark ambient industrial soundtracks the artist produces today. These heavily textured and moving visions are made possible through the integration of field recordings, modified equipment, film/audio
 samples, voice, synths, guitar and bass. Dialogue runs as a theme and the music is carefully constructed for film and live performance. 
Envelope Muse soundtracks evoke feelings of solitude, melancholy, 
confinement and isolation through their foreboding, ominous and 
discordant overtones. Envelope Muse: Dystopian sound for a dystopian world.

Wilted Perch emerges from a pile of half devoured ideas and 
abandoned projects. Still fairly young (formed in 2018), Wilted Perch crudely stitches together dreary, isolating and sometimes stagnant soundscapes from various sources both digital and analog as well as half broken machines, creating the soundtrack to a confused and collapsing mind while swimming in a 
hodgepodge of doom/sludge, dark ambient, post-industrial and leaving behind an ethereal stench interspersed with 
minimal and subtle rhythmic elements.

Forbidden Teachings invites ESTER @ GIMIC - 28 March 2025

Originally majored menswear at an arts university. After graduating, moved to Japan, where he began to seriously pursue photography. Over time, his artistic journey evolved, leading him to explore music, making him a multi-disciplinary artist today. Inyoung Son’s music bears a strong resemblance to his photography. Sound blends industrial with ritualistic and hypnotic elements, creating a smooth yet dark and rough flow. Ultimately, his music serves as a personal language for communicating with the world, offering a new form of dialogue through sound.

"Wisdom burned upon a shelf, who'll kill the raging cancer
Seal the river at its mouth, take the water prisoner
Fill the sky with screams and cries, bathe in fiery answers”
