Subconscious Communications is an independent record label and small-batch music gear operation originally founded in 1993 as Subconscious Records by Dwayne Goettel of Skinny Puppy and Phil Western of Download. After Goettel's death in 1995, cEvin Key — also of Skinny Puppy — took over the label and expanded its scope to include an analog synth museum, studio, and a line of Eurorack modules. It originated in Vancouver, B.C., and has operated out of Toluca Lake, California.
On the hardware side, Subconscious Communications produces a small catalog of Eurorack modules designed around cEvin Key's sonic sensibilities. Known titles include the Model 15 Complex VCO, Model 37 LFO, Model 52 Vampire, and Model 53 Voicetail, a filter module known for ranging from subtle formant coloration to aggressive, cutting tones. The modules have historically been distributed through Analogue Haven in California.
The brand is closely tied to the industrial and experimental electronic scenes via its Skinny Puppy / Download lineage, and its gear tends to appeal to modular users drawn to unconventional signal paths and textural filtering rather than traditional subtractive synthesis.
Subconscious Communications has 3 products cataloged on Equipboard, including Modular Synthesizers. Their gear is featured by 1 artist, with the strongest followings in Electronic and Rock. Notable users include cEvin Key.
