Based in Columbus, Ohio, Confusions has been crafting immersive soundscapes for nearly 20 years. With a background in music therapy and a love for analog textures, they explore vulnerability, memory, and emotion through sound. Influenced by Brian Eno, The Knife, and Conny Plank, their process is both playful and deeply intentional. In this interview, they share thoughts on gear, inspiration, and the importance of letting go during creation.

At times, the sounds on Muck of Morale mimic this all-consuming machine, electronic textures grinding like outsized gears. But often these ideas are countered with more organic sounds and untraceable mutations of field recordings captured in the natural world, which help sonically break the tension and offer listeners a place of escape.
