Hello | Goodbye

Two disparate longform, slow-evolving works that churn and pulsate across an entire release seamlessly and without interruption. FFO: Fossil Aerosol Mining Project, Pinkcourtesyphone, Legendary Pink Dots, 400 Lonely Things, William Basinski, The Caretaker, R. Grant Evans "Hello, Catholic Guilt" captures stages of guilt in five sections named after the Trinitarian formula: Father, Son, Holy, Spirit, Amen. The five sections also represent five different stages of my life where I have held different relationships with Catholicism and religion in general: my childhood, adolescence, 20s, 30s, and now my 40s. "Goodbye, Human Vessel" captures stages of cult-like indoctrination and abject resignation from consciousness in three sections, leading to next level bodies beyond earthly existence.

Disregarding the Pain of Others

These are the mechanisms of dehumanization and deconstruction, built to cease to exist. This is denying dignity, far beyond degradation. This is cultural erasure. This is genocide. This is disregarding the pain of others. Expanded cassette edition out in early 2026.

Meat Drips / Farces of Death

MEAT DRIPS features bits of electro-industrial experimental pop muzak with a Kosmische gravy groove. FARCES OF DEATH is a nostalgic tribute to "video nasties" and related films from my teens and young adulthood.

Walter Campbell

Sentimental Witches

An album that uses silence as much as noise to create a sense of ever-evolving, volatile foreboding dread through ritualistic acts. Dynamic feedback and tortured vocals are more the work of abject supernatural possession than any witches' magick.

Walter Campbell

Thunder Perfect Thighs

Thunder Perfect Thighs is a love affair with field recordings and deconstruction while making not-so-subtle references, if not an outright sardonic response, to outsider musical influences.

Walter Campbell

Silence Is Contagious

A collection of vocal iterations, audio manipulations, and synth drones with a touch of sardonic sedition, Silence is Contagious refers to how silence is thematic to each song in relation to inaction, authoritarianism, and oppression.

Walter Campbell

Corporeal Crawlers

Corporeal Crawlers is a storybook collection of dungeon synthpop about misadventures in misanthropy! Inspired by dungeon synth, body horror, and "Choose Your Own Adventure" novels, this spooky new release from Walter Campbell features nine songs full of ungodly monsters, unholy spirits, and the hungry undead, with contributions from co-conspirators coast to coast.

Who Goes There? [Doppelgänger Edition]

Expanded reissue of an imaginary soundtrack to the sci-fi novella, Who Goes There?, by John W. Campbell, as well as John Carpenter's 1982 film adaptation, The Thing. The ultimate experience in walternative cinematic horror, now available as a limited cassette.

Walter Campbell

Maniac Mannequin

Musique concrète minimalism, mania and mash-up of manipulated vocal and field recordings. Tracks are eaten, processed, and slowed down until collapsing into themselves, torn-up fragments of audio hallucinations digested and then passed through multiple cut-up electroacoustics. This is 1987 in 2025. THIS IS MANIAC MANNEQUIN
