Walter Campbell began as a vocalist for a number of goth industrial, alternative, and punk bands starting in the mid '90s. Although he says that he didn't fully take to ambient and experimental music until 2014, his musical projects always ended up becoming more and more unhinged due to personal traumas and an inherently performative nature. Although it is difficult to navigate the concept of Outsider Music in this period of time, and there are definitely influences from artists like Coil, William Basinski, and Nurse With Wound, Walter brings an undeniably childlike enthusiasm and naïveté to his work, especially, he says, after he took a course in experimental music taught by Jamie Stewart of Xiu Xiu.
