Brian M. Clark is an American musician, writer, and visual artist in Denver, Colorado. Clark is best known for overseeing the now-defunct Unpop Art Movement from 2004 to 2010. Songs From The Empty Places Where People Killed Themselves is a one-sided 12 vinyl EP of instrumental songs about suicide. In the tradition of what is typically referred to as tone poems, each song is an attempt at evoking a different suicide scenario and is named for the location in which the imagined suicide has taken place. To achieve this aim, Clark's compositions range from gloomy organ arrangements to tempo-shifting heavy metal tracks to echoey solo-piano works and even frenetic multi-instrumental compositions with a feel of early 20th-century Modernism. This EP was mastered by Bob Ferbrache at Absinthe Studio in Denver, Colorado, and is limited to 500 hand-numbered copies. Each vinyl EP has an MP3 download card insert with links to two additional digital-only remix tracks. Clark has recently been interviewed for websites such as The Aither (Sidney, Australia) and podcasts including The Book of Very Very Bad Things (Pittson, Pennsylvania) and Queen City Sounds (Denver, Colorado) in support of the EP and his other creative works.
