About
REDROT. my first solo project, started around the year 2000.
in the beginning the sound was extremely raw, everything was recorded to cassette tapes,a lo-fi hissing mess of electronics, tape-loops, scrap metal, screaming, and my old Roland R-8 drum machine.
the sound very much inspired (especially in the beginning) by Brighter Death Now, SPK, Godflesh, Swans, Atrax Morgue, Throbbing Gristle, Scorn, and other artists of a similar, and extremely dark nature.
so my teenage obsessions with early-industrial, death-industrial, death-metal, crust-punk, grindcore and related genres have all had a hand in shaping this sound, though i do not affiliate myself within any of them.
i've never really fit in anywhere my whole life, and i'm completely content with that. so now i just let the sound come out, rather than create or borrow in the derivative sense. i make music that i would like to hear myself, and i'm very selfish about my art.
one can definitely hear similarities to my musical heroes of the past, although i feel that the influence is more or less subliminal, and it just comes out this way...
REDROT is still a very active project, i still perform live, and i'm always working on recordings. sooner or later i will have some new releases out. check them out where available, i won't just release everything i do, and everything released has a lot of time, energy, and my little rotten heart put into it.
thanks for listening...
