=========================================================================================================
FTR: Let’s start with your band name, what made you choose it for this project?
The sound of “Dental Work” reminds me of every aspect of the term. The pre-appointment anxiety, the muffled high of the laughing gas, the precision injection of chemicals and their face numbing narcotic effect, the endless drilling of bone fragment, the ripping reality of extraction, flowing blood, weightless delirium, the post-surgical re-assembly stitching, the endless painful recovery.
FTR: How would you describe your sound and working process?
This project is a de-tuned regurgitation of sound and imagery that I feel the lust to create, capture, manipulate, and export in a ritualistic manner. This “music” is an unclassifiable genre of its own, melding all kinds of sounds. It is a rare mixture of Musique Concrete, Extreme Psychedelic, Anxiety, Experimental, Harsh Noise, Diseased Power Electronics, Microwaved Ganja Gangsta Salsa, Dish Washer Cream Puff Pop, Laundryhazmat Hyphy Gorgonzola, Clitoris Booster Shot Show Tunes, Hallucinogenic 8-Bit/16-Bit/Chip Deformities, Improv, Post-Breakcore, Post-Industrial, IDM, Ghettotech, Tape Manipulations, Glitch, DIY Punk, Cut-Up Audio Nightmare Recreations, Supernatural AM Radio Transmissions,, Keta-Drone, Lysergic Turntable-ism, Maximum Discomfort, Spiritual De-pantsing, Rigorous Mental Questioning, Forbidden Pre-teen Fascinations , Ebony Pornography Obsessions, Authentic Mexican Restaurant Addictions, Duct Tape/Broken VHS Tape Mutilation, Frantic Blow-up Doll Destruction, Unnecessary Panic, Heart Attack Speed Turntable Thrust, Rusty Knife Wielding Eccentric Masturbation, LSD Laced Childhood Flashbacks, Extra Terrestrial OUIJA Freak outs, Shamanistic Ketamine Blackouts, Ritualistic Bukakke Ceremonies, OG Owl Shift Hustlin’, Chopped & Screwed Grindcore, Cross-Dressing Nomadic Pee-Pee Noise, 24/7 Norweigan Black Metal Tributes, Prostitute Pop Poop Sound Collage, Sonic Queso Drenched Neo Arabic/Russian Hardcore, Post-Apocalyptic Ghetto Warfare, German PK380 Recollections, Found Sounds, Avant-Garde, Warped Delerious Tropical Free Jazz/Cannibalism, Subliminal Messages, Outsider Trash Art, Deteriorating Anti-Religious Christmas Jingles On Psilocybin Sojourns, and anything else I decide to meddle with! I use a variety of methods for recording and editing. My live show is a whole other story! Full of controversial theatrics, drag, improv sound manipulation, crowd interaction, humiliation, degredation, toys, costumes, knives, hatchets, saws, danger, uncertainty and a mean buzz to kick it all of! I am in a constant state of evolution!

FTR: About the instruments and technology you use to produce the sound, do you constantly update them, or are old and cheap synths and the like still good for your purposes?
I am constantly bringing in new elements to experiment with. My life has been centered around sound for as long as I can remember. My dad used to install audio equipment and I would always go to work with him so we always had a ton of obscure electronics laying around. My parents and grandparents encouraged my musical interests, and I would regularly take me to record stores, instrument shops, pawn shops, museums, and thrift stores, as a kid. I started with Piano, Harmonica, Guitar, Turntables, and Bass when I was young, and then I just went crazy once I figured out how to get high and professionally record via mixers and computers! Now I Use: Knives, Hatchets, Bones, AM Radios, Fruit (Buddah’s Paw), Hacksaw, Fans, Duct Tape, Percussion De Grizelda (DIY instrument I made), Boss DD-6 Delay, Boss Digital Delay DD-3 Pedal, Contact Mics, Ion TT USB Turntables, Boss Metal Zone MT-2 Pedal, Super NES, Found Sounds, Micro Casette Player, Peavy 4 String Bass Guitar, Blow Up Dolls, Pre-Teen Clothing, Bandanas, Raincoats, Mexican Frankenstain Masks, First Act Microphones, Magix Audio Studio 10 Deluxe, Magix MIDI 10, FC Twin,Boss Dr. Rythm DR-3 Drum Machine, Whistles, Nintendo GameBoy Pocket, Mario Paint, Chop Sticks, Webbed Car Parts, Combat Boots, Loving Lamb, Old Video Tapes, Cardboard, A Box Of Cereal, Toshiba Satellite Laptop, Behringer Eurorack MX 602A, Magix 15, Nintendo 64, PS2, Dell Pentium 4 Desktop CPU, Oujia Board, A Pair Of Little Girls Shoes, Sony PS-LX250H Turntable, Dennon DRA-275R Amp, Dennon DCD-695, Tredex TX-3000 DVD Player, Old Movies, Records, Samples, Voices, Foreign Language Books On Tape, Video Games, LSD, A Switchblade, Super Mario Effects Keychain, Wigs, Duck Calls, Mini-skirts, Weird Toys from the 80′s and 90′s, Yamaha Portasound PCS-500 Keyboard, Casio CTK-519 Keyboard, Paint Markers, Crate BX-15 Amp, Peavy KB 15 Amp,Peavy 8 Channel Mixer, Famitracker, Atomix, Pornography, Flarp! Noise Putty, My Genetalia, A Coffee Grinder, 4 Piece Dental Pick And Hook Set, EVERYTHING IS AN INSTRUMENT!
FTR: With regards to electronic/experimental artists, which band did you discover first? How did you come across them?
Well, I’d say it started with Frank Zappa at a very young age for me, In the 90’s I was also listening to a variety of alternative, death/black metal, comedy, hardcore, west coast/Midwest/southern hip hop/rap, a few electronic artists, and a ton of other random styles of music. In 1999 I read a review for Agoraphobic Nosebleed in Alternative Press, and I was very curious. I picked up “PCP Torpedo” by AGNB and my introduction to Merzbow took place….He remixed one of their tracks on the bonus disc, and I fell in love! I started avidly researching more extreme grind and noise, through magazines and online. I eventually stumbled across the artists Necroanal, Scissor Shock, Bubblegum Octopus, RedSK, and the labels Relapse Records, Crucial Blast, and Dadaist Audio out of the Netherlands. These were resources for some of the most fucked up material I had ever heard, and I wanted to take it even further. My noise addiction was really beginning to flourish at this point. I knew it was time to quit my day job and dedicate my life to making and releasing the weirdest sounds I could find on the planet.

FTR: What type of format do you prefer regarding an album release? Cassette/CD/Download/Vinyl?
I have releases available in all of these formats, and I think they are all brilliant forms of media delivery! My music collection/obsession began around 1990, so I of course a huge fan of cassette, CD, and vinyl. I suppose if I had to pick one it would be vinyl, simply because it shows the dedication to the music. Anybody can burn a cd-r and to a lesser extent dub a tape, but going through the process of getting your music on vinyl is no joke! I respect and love each variety of format in the end I suppose!
FTR: What is your opinion in particular of Japanese “Nipponoise/Japanoise” looking at their main artists like Merzbow, Masonna?
I absolutely love noise from Japan, and pretty much anything from Japan! Especially pornography! Merzbow was the first noise artist I ever heard, so I praise him. Masonna has some really intense material also……I am also way into Hijokaiden, Government Alpha and Boredoms. I plan on touring to Japan in 2012, and I will be setting up shows with NRYY, Noiseconcrete, Absurdgod, Hujiko Pro, Nankotsu Teacher, and more! One of my main labels who releases my music is in Japan, called Silent Novel Records. Norihito Kodaima is a great guy. I really appreciate his effort on the release of my full length “Snitch Carnitas”. There are so many unique projects coming from Japan!

FTR: I would like to ask you if you are interested in which kind of people listen to your sound, I mean, how do you imagine him/her to be?
Every gender/race is welcome to take part in the experience of Dental Work, I adore Arab girls, Black girls, Latina girls, White girls, Indian girls, Native American girls, Italian girls, Asian girls, and all kinds of humans/animals/aliens. I am probably more interested in the people who don’t listen to my sound, I imagine them as close minded conservative/religious imbeciles with rotting genetalia, organs, and ideals. Keep your friends close and enemies closer!
FTR: Women seem to be a main focus of noise humiliation – in the form of album covers, themes, and track titles, are you interested in deviated or perverted sexual behaviors? If so, what attracts you so much in sexual violence, sexist language?
My art is very difficult. Controversial innocence if you will. I have been addicted to pornography from a young age, and I am an admitted nymphomaniac, pervert, voyeur, sex addict. This is reflected in my song titles and artwork content. Although I may talk about it, I am not “into” sexual violence, I do find it an extremely interesting subject that should not be hidden or overlooked. I am on the other hand into sexual humiliation/certain fetish/bondage. There is nothing like sitting back with a fat joint and a good flick!
FTR: Are you interested in serial killers? This subject matter has been covered a lot in this scene since early Whitehouse and Sutcliffe Jugend days. Do you think this is a tired subject? And Do you think they are a typical product of 20th century society? What is your opinion about in particular American “serial killer culture” ?
When I was in school I was always bored with the subject matter, so I would instead read books constantly in opposition. My favorite subjects were drugs, history, politics, geography, autobiographies, psychology, anatomy, true crime and serial killers! I have always been very fascinated with the psyche of the serial killer….I have numerous books in my personal library on the subject, and I have had many songs in tribute to certain “celebs”. I even named my cat (the one on a number of my album covers) after the prison that the worlds most famous cannibal killer Andrei Chikatilov spent his final days (Rostov On-Don)! There will always be a place in my heart for serial killer culture, of course I don’t condone this behavior, for many reasons.
FTR: If you could do a gig anywhere in the world where would it be?
Wow there are so many places I would still love to play! Anywhere in Europe/Middle East/Asia, I would love to play in Beirut, Lebanon – Berlin, Germany – Frankfurt, Germany – Moscow, Russia – New York City, NY, – Rome, Italy – Tokyo, Japan – Shang-Hai, China – Mexico City, Mexico – Danzig, Poland – Salzburg, Austria – Athens, Greece – Baghdad, Iraq – Osaka, Japan – Madrid, Spain – Belgrade, Serbia – London, England – Oslo, Norway.
FTR: I’m really impressed with the sound projects coming out of the English, German and Italian scene, etc, etc. Is there any country in particular that inspire you more than others?
I am really feeling a lot of stuff coming out of Austria and Italy right now! Salzburg, Austria has a ton of sick noise/break core/electronics/grind going on, I recommend the labels: System Breakdown Recordings, Noise Park Activities, and Epileptic Media for starts! Italy has been blowing me away with the extremely perverted harsh noise, violence, and grind, similar to some Japanese schools of thought. Check out Lips Infection Records, Venta Protesix, Bologna Violenta, Intercamalemelont, TSIDMZ, and Lolita Vibrator Torture for an glimpse of “Shitaly”! My label (Placenta Recordings) has been on an active spree of releasing artists from all over the globe, focusing on U.S., Japan, Germany, Italy, Austria, China, Russia, Mexico, Indonesia, Spain, Australia, France, Malaysia, Brazil, Canada, Scotland, Bosnia, Serbia, Venezuela, Poland, Lebanon, Kuwait, Thailand, Iran, UK, and more! Artists from these locations should get in touch! Dental Work wants to do splits with you!
FTR: I can’t help but notice there are a lot of artists in this scene (with no real x-factor or original approach) who seem to gain a reputation for being a “great band” only on the basis that we’re aware of their project name. This is through extreme networking, sticking with safe, tried and tested, copied and replicated noise/PE sounds and style. Releasing 30+ albums per year based on no real subject matter, and kissing the right ass along the way. Would you prefer an artist to gain status through raw talent and dedication, rather than using this method? I would like to know your thoughts regarding this rushed approach…
There will always be fake ass brainwashed bandwagon jumping copycat fucks prowling/prodding around every music scene, but I know what you mean w/ some of these chumps. I see a lot of ideas being stolen, I see labels trying to use the same formulas, I see distros selling bootlegs of independent labels/artists material, I see people standing in front of laptops and hip noise generating pedals and calling themselves a performer, but where is the energy, heart, and dedication? Copied style/boring art will get these guys nowhere unless they are rich and can afford to release their own “work”, and even then, it probably won’t make a substantial impact, so no need to worry!
FTR: Do you listen to different types of music? A secret Elvis collection perhaps?!
People always criticize me for my perverse musical taste. Besides noise/grind/psychedelic/electronics, I am a huge fan of Lebanese Folk, German Pop, Italian Disco, Norwegian Black Metal, Japanese 8-Bit, West Coast/Midwest/Southern U.S. Rap, Female Pop and R & B Singers, and so much more! Im going to list 100 artists/acts/groups/bands that I hold near and dear, just to show the diversity in my music library (Keep in mind I have a room full of vinyl records, cds, cassettes, and an external hard drive full of audio that I have been collecting for 20 years!) Here is a few favorites: Eazy-E, Too $hort, Burzum, Jennifer Lopez, Katy Perry, Mac Dre, Sabrepulse, Patsy Cline, Guns N’ Roses, Prince, GWAR, Nirvana, 2 Live Crew, Esham, DJ Screw, James Brown, Frank Zappa & The Mothers Of Invention, Pink Floyd, Slick Rick, GG Allin, Napalm Death, Barbra Streisand, Kraftwerk, Bjork, Koji Kondo, Ice-T, Marilyn Manson, Pearl Jam, Genghis Tron, Parliament Funkadelic, Agoraphobic Nosebleed, The Dayton Family, Caroliner, South Park Mexican, Immortal, Acid Mothers Temple, Buckethead, Dan Deacon, Cypress Hill, Phish, Melt-Banana, Public Enemy, Black Box, Black Mayonnaise, Frank Sinatra, Sun Ra, Brujeria, Cannibal Corpse, George Carlin, Butthole Surfers, Cheech & Chong, Realicide, Jackson 5, Geto Boys, Merzbow, Screamin’ Jay Hawkins, Yma Sumac, Diamanda Galas, The Doors, Danzig, The Beatles, Deicide, Three 6 Mafia, Clotted Symmetric Sexual Organ, The Meatshits, Scissor Shock, Beyonce, Mindless Self Indulgence, Venetian Snares, Juvenile, LL Cool J, KRS-One, Venom, Kawaiettly Please, Nine Inch Nails, Ministry, Lords Of Acid, Anal Cunt, Charles Manson, Necro, C-Murder, Darkthrone, Mayhem, Clandestine Blaze, Skinny Puppy, Consumer Electronics, Twodeadslutsonegoodfuck, Dice, Dead Kennedys, Donna Summer, Warren G, Dr. Dre, Doormouse, William Sides Atari Party, Madonna, Styrofoam Sanchez, Kompressor, Atari Teenage Riot, and Project Born and of course all of the artists on Placenta Recordings! All of those artists have inspired me in one way or another over the years, and I thank each and every one of them! Speaking if labels, I also enjoy all of the sounds on these labels: Dadaist Audio, System Breakdown Recordings, Noise Park Activities, Nail In The Coffin Records, Trashfuck Net/Records, Scotch Tapes, Fuck Off And DIY, Pray For Death Productions, Parkinson Wankfist Pleasures, Immigrant Breast Nest, Crumbling Peak , Corpus Callosum, Silent Novels Records, Love Earth Music, Ratskin Records, Free Noise, Final Trauma Recordings, and Flaccid Plastic Records!
FTR: What first, chicken or the egg?!
Neither ever actually existed. They were figments of man’s imagination. This conclusion was determined under extensive psilocybin cubensis therapy!
FTR: …Of course! Anything else you would like to add here….
Thank you for your time and dedication Keith! Keep up the good work, I will keep sending you music! Come see me perform, I promise I won’t hurt you!
FTR: Hurt me! Hurt me!! Cheers ‘n’ beers, Mr. Watson.
