Here is the God Shaped Void album Grey Skies, that Gary Billings (co-founder and front man of Carfax Abbey) and I did circa 2009. He wrote most of the songs on guitar, and invited me to add some synthy Brainclaw flavor on most of the tracks. We performed, recorded and produced them in Studio Auroviral. Lovely, dark, moody stuff… A couple of fun covers as well. Enjoy.

eyeSo, Brainclaw’s collaboration with Stephen Wilkins of LV426 is complete. We present to you “We Are Random.” Music by Stephen Wilkins of LV426 and lyrics, vocals and arrangement by Brainclaw.

This was a TON of fun to do, and it is quite possible it will happen again in the future!

Stay tuned, Clawlings.

eyeGoing to be working with my good friend and English brother Stephen Wilkins on one of his new songs, “We Are Random.” I will be writing and recording lyrics. We both share a love of electronic music and Gary Numan, so kindred spirits for sure. This is going to be fun!

Back in May of 2007, Brainclaw were approached by Japanese cyberpunk/spoken word author Kenji Siratori to collaborate on a spoken word song project called PIG.

Kenji supplied us with his trademark bizzare, Burroughs-styled spoken word poetry in Japanese, and we created a Brainclaw song around it.

The result was REGENERATOR P.I.G.

This strange mashup collaboration was up for and succeeded in being chosen to be the music for the Diehard 4: Live Free Or Die Hard movie trailer in Japan.

To the total honor of Brainclaw, Kenji went on to name one of his performance exhibitions Regeneratior P.I.G. as well.

As a band that is completely in love with Japan and Japanese culture, this was a great way to come full circle.

Enjoy this bit of sonic strangeness from Brainclaw and their brother from across the Pacific…
