Filth Therapy
Filth Therapy is as much about technology as it is passion and balances programming with live improvisation.
Walking the fine line between performance chaos and studio control, Filth Therapy are an experimental electronic quartet whose instrumental music has its roots in electro-acoustic and acousmatic compositions as well as jazz, jungle, drums 'n bass and IDM grooves.
Originally brought together as session players for Gus Moon's first studio outing, they quickly realized they had creative sensibilities in common, and their wildly different musical paths, created an oddly satisfying mix.
They went into a studio and recorded their first issue"Toxicity Suite" and perfromed some live gigs around Southern Ontario that drew out fans of acousmatic, modern jazz, jungle and "weird-ass funk". They have just finished recording their latest Rostfrei release "Scum Manifesto" and are offering it for sale at their bandcamp page. Be sure to check out Rostfrei's media section for art-work, information and some free audio files.
Armed with laptops, keyboards, drums, bass and an assortment of garbage can lids, kazoos and whatever else they can lay their hands on, Filth Therapy's music is a twisted sonic path masterfully realized by a disciplined quartet with very distinct but disparate musical directions.
