Industrial funk played on a two-story tall homemade metal pipe. Surreal, percussive, and deeply rhythmic music for the curious and the slightly mad.
Imagine a mad scientist who decided to abandon physics in favor of the funk. The sound is dominated by the 'Magic Pipe,' a towering steel contraption that produces earth-shaking bass frequencies, metallic clangs, and elastic rhythms that feel both ancient and futuristic. It is tribal, industrial, and deeply groovy all at once, anchored by a percussive intensity that demands movement.
What truly sets this apart is the collision of high-level classical training with a total commitment to the absurd. The lyrics dwell on meat storms and turbo snails, delivered with a deadpan whimsy that feels like a Dr. Seuss book found in a scrapyard. It is a one-man spectacle where every sound is physically earned through a complex dance of hands, feet, and homemade triggers.
Start with 'The Moon Is Disgusting' to hear the full potential of his invention. It captures the perfect balance between his technical virtuosity on the pipe and his ability to write infectious, albeit bizarre, songs that will get stuck in your head for days.
