began in the summer of 2005 and has taken on many shapes and forms and members. Thank you for listening. Mainly we're just a group of friends trying to have fun and make weird, heavy, experimental music.
 

Evil Genius was formed in 2012 by Max Kutner, Stefan Kac and Mike Lockwood. Each member brings a vast range of creative experience, performing and composing in genres as distant as death metal, polka, thrash, swing, chamber music, progressive rock, klezmer, surf and musique concrete.

The music of Evil Genius thus comes forth as a shredded amalgamation of those musical styles (and many more) that can shift focus spontaneously and in a unashamedly free fashion. This quality when combined with distinctly cinematic melodies and not-so-subtle threads of dark humor allows for an original aesthetic that is always inclusive despite its complexity.

In 2015, they will release their debut album, "Bitter Human", on the Los Angeles-based label, Orenda Records.

Future Shoxxx:
Sharif Dumani (Alice Bag Band, Exploding Flowers) - vocals, synthesizers, drum machines
Quinn Brayton (Boy Scouts Of Annihilation, the Centimeters, New Collapse, Frank Alpine) - synthesizers
Liam Philpot (Roddy Radiation, Jimmy Cliff) - saxophone
Phillip Haut (the Centimeters, Rig, Supercollider) - drums

Using analog synthesizers, drum machines, sci-fi-like effects, and saxophone, their aggressive synth sound harks back to references such as Suicide, the Units, Fad Gadget, Dark Day, and Minimal Man. But beyond the sonic assault lay cascading synthesizer swells, hypnotic arpeggiators, and thumping rhythms that come closer to earlier electronic pioneers Harmonia, Conrad Schnitzler, and Silver Apples (who Dumani also collaborated with) than it does pure aggression.

Aram Shelton is an improviser and composer who performs on saxophone, clarinets, and live electronics. He plays with a distinct, harmonically rich sound and develops musical thoughts through constant motion, tonal shifts and complex sounds alongside clear melodic and rhythmic constructs. His vocabulary utilizes the range of extended techniques including multiphonics and harmonics, circular breathing, wind sounds and an exploration of the outer ranges of the instrument. Shelton focuses on creative music grounded in and influenced by the rich history of avant-jazz and free improvisation; his writing and playing has been documented through more than two dozen albums to date. He's been an integral member of the creative music communities in the Bay Area and Chicago, and is currently waiting things out in the E.U.

If it sounds like it was recorded on a cell phone, chances are it was... these are more sound experiments and snippets, loops and noises than actual songs... most of these are improvised/recorded on the first take. They are raw and unpolished/un-produced... sounds are made with pots, pans, glassware, cutlery, coffee mugs, circuit-bent things, drum machine, sampled records, stringed instruments(6 string guitar, 12 string guitar and some bass), percussive instruments, thumb piano, synths, beat-boxing, field recordings and really anything i can get my hands on... i hope you enjoy some of my silly sound collages!
