Reworked an older "song" and made it faster, noisier and probably worse. Just percussion (and a bass guitar, used as additional percussion) and some two note droney synth in the background.

Not Underground. Not Mainstream. Just Left Ground.

Left Ground Music stands outside the boundaries of genres and scenes.
We are neither part of the mainstream nor the underground—we exist in the “left ground”, a space where sound refuses to conform.

From electronica, dub, and ambient to post-rock textures, our releases carve out soundscapes that demand attention, not background listening.
Born in Japan, our music captures the collision of urban noise and natural silence, offering listeners a sonic experience that feels both familiar and alien.

This is music for those who walk the edges of reality.
This is Left Ground.

Probably the worst one man industrial band from Escondido.

Here I would like to present music composed and produced by myself (multitracking guitars, bass, and drums) and pieces that were created in the context of various bands since 1990. Some of the tracks are completely worked out, some are demos, some are from jam sessions, and some are live recordings. When relevant, in each single track the band name is given, the respective players are listed, and details as to the background of the music are presented.
All drawings and paintings were done by myself and, in some cases, by my wife, Andrea.

A place for sound freaks lashing out from the dark. 

So there's all kinds of stuff on this page, but after months of schizophrenic debates about who was playing with who and who took the lead while doing it, finally, the decision was made: all my alter egos got together and decided to form a band. From 2020 on new tracks are created under the moniker Gruppo Infernal. Only pure MMTJ tracks will still be named as such. 

Gruppo Infernal still relies on my work as Me, my Thumb and Jack, an ongoing quest for a liberating approach to sound creation where the human body acts as an oscillator amplifying the natural 50hz hum. Direct live recording, improvisations and delay loops only using analog filters and effects. No editing, no overdubs. Gruppo Infernal adds digital treatment to this original sound material. 

UnterPitch was an alter ego using samples & synths.
Bleached Coffins was a one-off project using guitars.
