...when things go awry in just the right way

The Problem With Tech

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.

Curly Compositions from a German Composer.

Music available on bandcamp https://thebargainbasementbutterflies.bandcamp.com/

The Bargain Basement Butterflies are gleefully inspired by Kraftwerk, Erasure, OMD, the Lightning Seeds, Depeche Mode, Howard Jones, The Cure, Laurie Anderson and a host of other terrific artists old and new.

Living Life and Making Music, because what else is one to do? 

Open to collaborations.
I do love to sing...or play.

Allgrena is the personal project of Franz Nigl and exists since 1990.
90 – 93 Allgrena was a neofolk project, since 94 Franz works solo, in the way of Ambient to Industrial.
Sometimes in specific places for sound research: playing percussion at the walls of a bunker, or playing flutes in the canalisation of vienna, or percussion and clarinet in one of the Gasometertowers in vienna.
Franz becomes help from: Johannes Nendwich (clarinet), Harald Bartsch (guitar) and Eloise Duchenne (voice).

mostly a downtempo diary

long-haul landscapes floating
over misted highways while

wipers smear droplets into
polyrhythmic haiku

sounds to do something
else by, for those who

have Logged Out

I've got all the time in the world... or not...

AI music and voice production infects human creativity and inspiration.

As a kid starting play keyboards for fun. Then I played live piano in piano bars and restaurants. During 90s also compose and recording my first audio tracks. After a 20 years break I came back with more love for music creation especialy for electronic sound.
