FOREIGN BODY SENSATION & JUSTIN MARANGA - Subterranean Environments [cassette]

FOREIGN BODY SENSATION mastermind Louie Schultz has acquired a lifetime’s worth of musical experience, having honed his pop sensibilities in the bands Army Navy and Nightjacket, and in his almost 20 years as a music editor and composer, collaborating with the likes of Mark Mothersbaugh, Cliff Martinez, Terrance Blanchard, and Paul Haslinger.  In fact, it was while working with Haslinger -- a former member of Tangerine Dream -- that Schultz turned full force to his love of analog synthesizers (he claims to now have a collection of around 40 synths at his disposal).  Fickle, yet capable of generating an almost endless array of textures and sounds, Schultz took his time not only discovering the unique capabilities of each machine but integrating them into his compositional process; a symbiosis that deepens with each recording.

Throughout his 15-year tenure as founding member and guitarist of Los Angeles progressive post-doom titans Ancestors, JUSTIN MARANGA became known for creating vast sonic landscapes at near-deafening volumes.  He and Schultz met while they were both backing LA songwriter Isla June, and the pair bonded over their musical synergy, their expansive tastes, and their particular love of ambient and instrumental music.  Maranga runs the eclectic record label Dune Altar, an extension of his endless love for the craft and community of music, working with artists as wide ranging as Faetooth, Glaare, Collapsing Scenery, The Lungs and many more.  He continues to expand his craft for his first release under his own name, and the first of what promises to be a series of releases in collaboration Foreign Body Sensation.
