History:
Grimm Reaper
Sound is a personal/project studio which was originally set
up in 1991 to support Fuzzy Logic.
Unfortunately Fuzzy Logic has
since disbanded. But the studio
still lives on. It has been used to record heavy metal demos and
releases (Estrus), jazz demos, analog-digital transfers, sampling
sounds banks and lots and lots of experimental music ranging from
industrial to techno to ambient to minimalism to noise to ...
(get
the picture).
