David Vorhaus

David Vorhaus is an American-born classical bass player with a background in both physics and electronic engineering. He co-founded the band The White Noise in London in 1969 with Delia Derbyshire and Brian Hodgson.
Though Derbyshire and Hodgson left the group in the early 70s, Vorhaus continued to record under the name The White Noise. In 1969 The White Noise released the groundbreaking album An Electric Storm on Island Records. The album was created using a variety of tape manipulation techniques, and is notable for its early use of the first British synthesizer, the EMS Synthi VCS3.

Black To Comm

Black To Comm is an alias for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter's audio excursions. Richter creates his music using scratchy shellac and vinyl records, field recordings, a so called "kitchen gamelan," and more traditional instruments like organs, guitars, pianos and mbiras. The layering and hypnotic repetition of short loops from Psychedelia, Free Jazz, Vaudeville, and various other old recordings reveals alternative melodic dimensions not apparent in the source material.
