Centralia
bandcamp
Centralia was my solo music output, founded under this name in 2015. Both live material and tape releases were designed around connecting topics in the matter of concept, but not aeshtetics. Utilising cheap analog sound generators, guitar pedals, toy synths, prepared guitar, tape machines and samplers, everything done under this alias connects under the same denominator of various forms of violence. Pulp fantasy, TV docudramas, war, war through the lens of media, civic unrest, colonial appropriation of underprivileged cultures. Currently inactive.
