Outsider Vibes: Alan Sinclair Talks Repeated Viewing, Video Nasties, and The Beach House

Alan Sinclair has been making synth-based sonic dread since 2009 under the name Repeated Viewing. The UK-based musician/composer creates moody records that look and feel like some lost soundtrack to a grimy, woozy exploitation flick your mom would never let you rent.

Heavy-Hearted : Cory Kilduff and His Ode To Heartbreak

Musician and composer Cory Kilduff came into my world by way of Ridley Scott and Burning Witches Records. I first heard his music last year when his track “LV426” showed up on the BWR Record Store Day comp Communion. That track is part of a bigger project, one in which Kilduff re-scored Ridley Scott’s sci […]

Dig Deep : Lars Meijer Talks Hunter Complex, Influences, and ‘Open Sea’

Turning The Knobs : Daniel Davies Talks ‘Events Score’, Gear, and ‘Halloween’

I don’t think I’ve ever known or been related to anyone famous. I mean, I had a second cousin that played in The Rivieras in the early 60s. Willy Gaut(I knew him as Billy Gaut, but who am I to argue with Wikipedia?) was my mom’s first cousin. I remember him coming by the house […]
