Brian M. Clark is a writer, avocational musician and a curator of music and culture whose record label Discriminate Audio has released a handful of records from his own projects and cult artists over the past couple of decades including career-spanning compilations of and tribute albums to outsider rock and roll legend Ralph Gean and legendary punk and avant-garde pop artist Little Fyodor. Clark grew up in the Bay Area of California and as a youth played in bands and went to shows at 924 Gilman Street and went to school in the University of Oregon in Eugene and studied journalism and art before dropping and and going to school back in the Bay Area and completing a degree in art and Spanish. Around 2003 Clark ended up moving to Denver because of a book project he was undertaking and happened to find a posting for a place to live at a DIY space called Monkey Mania, the renowned venue that was at the time located in the middle and northern end of downtown Denver. Living there for a year before feeling the need for a different living situation, Clark came into contact with the wide array of the underground Denver music world and would go on to more musical projects of his own. In 2011 Clark released an album under his own name Songs From The Empty Places Where People Killed Themselves that is part punk, part noise rock, part noise and a bleakly humorous examination of situations and themes. And in 2023 under the name Unborn Ghost, Clark release the project’s debut album Airs of Contempt and Derision on LP, CD and cassette as well as digital download. The album includes contributions from Ralph Gean, Little Fyodor and others. Per Clark’s unorthodox musical proclivities the album is an eclectic blend of post-punk, psychedelic noise rock and experimental electronic soundscapes that capture some of the current American zeitgeist.
