The Darkening Scale is one of the solo projects of David Janssen, better known for his work with the experimental duo Renaldo and the Loaf. From 1970, until the group's demise in 1986, David and Brian Poole (aka Renaldo M) worked together and produced a number of albums for The Residents' Ralph Records label. David was musically inactive from 1986 until 2006, when a reunion with Brian in 2006 spurred David back into music making. Encouraged by Brian, David began working on remixing some old Renaldo and the Loaf material It was a short step from these remixes to working with non-Renaldo and the Loaf samples and The Darkening Scale was born. <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/The+Darkening+Scale">Read more on Last.fm</a>.
