Carpenter Brut is an enigmatic figure in the electronic music scene, a French musician whose real name is shrouded in mystery. Emerging prominently in the early 2010s, Carpenter Brut quickly became one of the torchbearers of the synthwave genre—nostalgically recalling the neon-lit ambiance of 80s cinema and video games, while infusing it with a distinctly modern, energetic twist. His sound is characterized by pulsating rhythms, cutting synthesizer melodies, and a penchant for the dark and dramatic.

Carpenter Brut's rise to prominence came with the release of a trilogy of EPs released between 2012 and 2015, which were later collected in the album "Trilogy." The potency of his retro-futuristic sound caught the attention of genre aficionados and mainstream audiences alike, leading to a series of successful international tours. Not one to rest on his laurels, Carpenter Brut expanded his horizons with the score for the crowdfunded film "Blood Machines," showcasing his ability to create immersive narratives through music. His other works, such as the full-length albums "Leather Teeth" and "Leather Terror," not only further entrenched his standing in the synthwave community but also served as a testament to his evolving sound—a blend of horror-infused electronic with nods to metal and rock influences. With collaborations and remixes featuring a variety of artists, Carpenter Brut has become a respected and multifaceted contributor within the electronic music landscape.
