J.G. Thirlwell is a prolific composer, producer, and performer based in Brooklyn, New York. He has been releasing acclaimed and influential recordings for more than twenty years, and has been cited by the likes of Ministry and Nine Inch Nails as one of the main influences behind their music. Thirwell's dark orchestration and progressive cross-pollinating of musical styles gives Foetus a unique, genre-defying sound that is all his own.
