Welsh-born, California-based artist Brian Williams has been recording sprawling, cosmic electronic music as Lustmord since the early ’80s. As a reluctant pioneer of the dark ambient genre who regards his music as neither dark nor ambient, he’s often been a square peg in the scenes he’s been thrust into. “I never felt like a part of anything, to be honest with you,” Williams says.
“It’s interesting to me that people perceive a lot of what I do as dark, because it’s not,” he continues. “It’s very primal. It’s slow, it’s big, and my music takes you somewhere. It’s not ambient, it’s fucking present. It’s physical. And that’s what music is supposed to be. It’s not supposed to be ambient. It should take you to a very deep place.
