My name is Scott E. Candey and this is the home of my various interests and creative output. I’ve been involved in numerous dark experimental music projects over the years, run a record label and mail order, co-edited a music zine, done graphic design, a podcast and more recently I have been spending time writing fiction and trying to locate some of the art skills I had as a kid.

My primary musical project since 1994 or so has been Gruntsplatter. In addition to that I did a couple of short lived solo projects called Grimes & Cinder Skin, and have been involved in 4 different collaborative projects: Triage (w/ Ruhr Hunter), Blunt Force Trauma (w/ Deathpile), Umbra (w/Murderous Vision) and Circadian (w/ Nothing).

I started Crionic Mind Records in 1995. The last release was came out in 2001 but the mail order still exists. Also in 1995 I helped to establish a print zine called Worm Gear that covers all manner of extreme music. It has since gone to the web, but still exists.

About 3 years ago I started a podcast called Professor Gruntsplatter’s Spookatorium that focuses on the music I love, as well as various weird and Fortean subjects. Currently I am working on writing fiction and pondering more music.
