   About The Weak And The Strong
The Weak And The Strong is a singer-songwriterproject mainly inspired by the music of Michael Gira.
Other influences are Joy Division and Velvet Underground.

The songs are basic and totally acoustic.
The instrumental tracks (soundscapes) are totally electronic.
Some of them were soundtracks for existing and non-existing documentaries and other filmbased experiments.

In general the music of this project is best described as NO-FI.

Turn up the volume, sit back and listen.
