About Me

The diet is not known; fecal material contains organic (?) crystals and perhaps sediment particles. The radula morphology suggests that the diet is is particle-size dependent, possibly detritus.

- Scheltema 1981


scutopus is your favorite bottom-feeding, shell-less mollusc genus of music. scutopus brings tidings from the ocean floor; these tidings are sometimes purple, sometimes pretty, sometimes noisy, always compelling. ideally, these tidings humble, inspire, alienate, befriend, and illuminate the listener.


scutopus is involved in: brutal dodgeball techno, feeding noise, purple-tinged remixes, uncomfortable comfort music, foghorns...
