Artist description Thor has been creating his work since 1996. There is not much to say about the music, since honestly there is a loss for words, but "soundtrack to a dream" is a good one...it's very tense but cathartic, bracing but clarifying, harrowing, maniacal, beautiful...creates a variety of emotions for the listener

Music Style ambient bliss-out/scare-scapes/drone

Musical Influences I don't have any real influences, but in hindsight Throbbing Gristle, Windy & Carl and Cosey Fanni Tutti.

Similar Artists Throbbing Gristle, Windy & Carl, Jeff Greinke, Steve Roach, Spectrum, Flowchart, Fuxa, Faust, Merzbow, Seefeel

Artist History Thor hated recording with a band so he broke off from people and started honing his unique style of drones, slow elating yet nervous chord progressions (if any are added), and many organic sound effects twisted so far that you can't tell the original source
