Former Johnny Z band member, inspired by out-of-place artifacts, and let loose to cause mayhem. Stay tuned for more twangy and wobbly releases!

Here’s a shout out to Dan at Shook Sound (
shooksound.ca), who is addressing tuning issues and rebuilding the keybed on my 1970s Micromoog. This is not the same Micromoog we had in Johnny Zhivago, but one I was able to find recently. I am not sure how this unit will fit with my workflow, but it is a great sounding monosynth! I have also recently ordered an Erica Synths Steampipe, which looks like a very interesting physical modeling synth and might make some suitably horrible and spooky noises as well as lovely violin, cello, bell tones, and woodwind sounds. Sonic mayhem will ensue!

I have commissioned a video for one of our old Johnny Zhivago songs. This one will not be released unless our publisher agrees on the timing. However, I continue to make progress on our cover of Zero by Second Layer and I am hoping that there will be a video made for this song as well! Stay tuned for updates!

We did a reunion recording session of Zero by Second Layer. Scott Malcolm and Rob Filep from the old lineup were there, and also Scott Nolan on bass! We will be releasing it once we get a few backup vocals recorded! Hope people will be interested in hearing what we did with it. Sounds pretty dark wave! If there is some (any) interest, we will do a video for it!

New release available now!
Listen if you are curious, but keep in mind it is a bit dark and fuzzy! All proceeds to charity, as always! I actually released this earlier, but did not have the time to update the website. Try to tolerate this “music” for charity, and recommend it to people who might be able to tolerate it, too!

A fourth release! Ridiculously self-indulgent and gets on your nerves. Chillout or just discordant? You decide! Pre-save to Spotify. All proceeds to charity!

a Victory
This is the third piece of "music" released by Phantom Section, a know-nothing and non-existent band who "composes" ridiculously pompous and horrifying noise-pieces. If you can tolerate your ears being subjected to abuse, please have a listen. Pre-save to Spotify using the link below. All proceeds to charity!

Phantom Section, an unearthly force ensemble that blaze unique trails through their ghostly guitar renditions and wobbly keys providing an ethereal, immersive sound experience. Cutting waveforms in the realm of the extraordinary, we bring the unintelligible to life. Objectives: unknown.

Phantom section is pleased to announce a new release called TB6, now available at Spotify,
Apple Music, Tidal, Youtube.com and wherever you listen to music. All proceeds to charity.
Please support by listening to the track, which is horrifyingly awful, but for a good cause.
