Fashion Flesh

Fashion Flesh is based in Bay city, USA., he makes his own equipment, oscillators, generators, sound toys, and modulators. He is a true electronic sound experiment. He should have been in the Radiophonic Workshop, but he was in the wrong place, wrong decade.

Fashion Flesh is the solo-output moniker of John Talaga. John is known for his "off the grid" approach to music and has also worked with artists like Matmos, Electrosexual, Cornelius, Stereo Total, TSR 80 and Momus. Most all of the instruments used to perform, produce, remix and record are self-built electronics...those that are not built from one's own design are heavily modified beyond audible recognition or return. No sampling/stolen sound is ever used or sucked from outside pre-existing sources. No laptop gimmicks, instead tape manipulation and hard copy cut-ups...no soft-synths or plug-ins, no laptops at all but rather analog devices that are built for specific purpose and dis-purpose.
