“ridicule is the burden of genius”

About Unnerving Brain

An independent creative lab by Justin Kemple — we build music, merch, and myth with ruthless taste and modern tools.

Mission — Worlds, Not One‑Offs

Unnerving Brain exists to turn ideas into living worlds — characters, sounds, and visuals that keep unfolding. We treat every drop like a story beat, not a post.

North Star: Make work that punches above its budget because the taste is uncompromising.
PillarWhat it Means
DesignBold‑lined, smoothly animated visuals. No mush.
MusicHorrorcore, cosmic funk, punk — if it moves you, it belongs.
LoreCharacters you can follow across covers, videos, and tracks.
DisciplineShip when it’s sharp. Iterate in public.

Philosophy — Tools Don’t Make Taste

AI is a wrench, not the house. We sketch fast, then we edit harder. Paint Shop Pro, Illustrator, DAWs — they’re instruments. The performance is the curation.

Bottom line: Craft first. Hype second. Let the work speak before the caption does.
