Artist Biographies

Lob Instagon is the driving force behind Instagon, a long-running noise/jam/improvisational project born in 1993. Based in the Sacramento/Miami AZ scene, Lob's neo‑psychedelic collective consistently performs with new musicians, yielding wildly unpredictable, ritualistic performances united under a "servitor" concept rooted in chaos magic. 

An organizer of NorCal Noisefest, distributor, bassist, poet, and visual artist, Lob is deeply embedded in experimental communities-often working under his art name "LOB." His performances blur disciplined funk, rock, and improvisation, yet maintain a core electric intensity.

Angel Wings [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
Fortrexx (Phil Zampino)
Breathless
(Love Earth Music)
Under the Fortrexx moniker, Squidco's own Phil Zampino, aka CHANGES TO blind, shapes field recordings, samples, and electronics into subliminal sonic environments that drift and mutate beneath conscious attention, forming enveloping sound tapestries that fill silence without intrusion and function fluidly at low or high volume for contemplation, altered states, or quiet immersion.
Woods, Peter J.
Sucking Stones
(Love Earth Music)
Exploring the intersection of harsh noise, spoken word, and conceptual composition, Peter J. Woods constructs a sonic meditation on Samuel Beckett's Molloy, weaving fragmented text, tense ambience, and intense sonic ruptures into a dynamic and gripping experience, where shifting textures and calculated silences evoke both philosophical depth and visceral tension.
subservientdominance
Publicdominance
(Love Earth Music)
Live recordings from four Northeast U.S. performances by subservientdominance, the solo project of Doug DeWalt, blending power electronics, harsh noise, and deep vocal-driven textures into a visceral exploration of sonic dominance, with each set presenting a uniquely aggressive and immersive approach to raw electroacoustic intensity.
Zilmrah
Hallucinatory X-Ray Visions
(Love Earth Music)
The debut full-length from Lawry Romani's noise/drone project Zilmrah blends manipulated samples, modular synths, and handcrafted electroacoustic instruments into intriguingly distorted yet spacious soundscapes, balancing hypnotic rhythms with dadaist absurdity and dense sonic experimentation in a captivating journey of cut-up electronics and immersive drones.
God Pussy
Rudimentar Desejo De Liberdade
(Love Earth Music)
Brazilian noise artist Jhones Silva, aka God Pussy, delivers a brutal, uncompromising conglomerate of harsh electronic textures, abstract noise, and aggressive sonic distortion, employing pedals, synths, radios & noise generators in an intense DIY exploration of social chaos, urban corruption, and humanity's unfulfilled desire for freedom through confrontational electroacoustic compositions.
Midnight Only (RJ Myato / Jabe Ledoux)
Midnight Only
(Love Earth Music)
An album of dense electronics, drums and gongs from Vermont drummer and experimenter Jabe Ledoux, aka Jo Bled, and Pittsburgh noise artist RJ Myato, co-founder of NNN Coalition and curator of Enforced Existence label, in three works from assertive jumbles of sound, to buzzy drones with muted percussion and ending with an ocean of blurred and swooping harmonics.
Chefkirk
Giant Size
(Love Earth Music)
Eight distinctive works for electronics and sound from the alter ego of Roger H. Smith, using noise, percussive elements and unusual synthetics, layered around static and arpeggiated rhythms and punctuated with strange asides, the works run from 3:14 to 18:37 and were developed over a year and half; an excellent introduction to the sonic diversity Chefkirk revels in.
+DOG+ / Bastard Noise
Desecration Tales [VINYL]
(Love Earth Music)
Two long-standing experimental sound projects join together as Legendary Bastard Noise, aka Eric Wood and +DOG+, aka Steve Davis, combine for two extended and well-paced works of dark sonics and electronics, the first piece "Misery Milestone" a haunting and desolate soundscape with disruptive punctuation; the 2nd "Beneficiary: Earth" adds agonizing voice to a work of global arpeggiation and destruction.
T. Mikawa x Victoria Shen
Personality Chrysler
(Love Earth Music)
A duo recorded in Tokyo in 2019 as a live performance, and through remote collaboration on the internet, between NY sound artist Victoria Shen, who focuses her work on extreme textures and gestural tones, using "chaotic sound" to oppose signal and information to elude traditionally embedded meaning, and Japanese noisician Toshiji Mikawa of Hijokaidan & Incapacitants fame.
Juice Machine
Broken And Dilapidated
(Love Earth Music)
An apt description for the layers of sonic decay and deteriorated sounds, loops and errata that underpin each of the five tracks on this elusively restrained noise album, Juice Machine, aka Roger H. Smith (Chefkirk) and Heather Chessman, use mangled field recordings and concrete elements of blurred looping structures and aberrant interjection, each unique work a fascinating curiosity.
+DOG+
To Share Forever With You
(Love Earth Music)
Love Earth Music label leader and sound artist Steve Davis' +DOG+ project is joined by a cast of noise and sound artists--Bobby Almon, Chuck Foster, Edward Giles, Jack Szymczak, LOB, Mackenzie Kourie, Ron Karlin--for a mix of rich sonic assaults, collage constructions and possibly some live captures, in an interesting and well-produced collection of diverse approaches to sound.
Extra
Spiral/Athletics
(Love Earth Music)
The third album from the collaboration of sound artists Howard Seltzer, who typically works with consumer grade tape players, and Brian Grainger, head of the Milieu Music mailorder label, in an extended work of textural cassette sound, field recordings, drone music and modular synthesis, a journey through rich and well-controlled sound.
+DOG+
