::::CAUSTIC CASTLE
Caustic Castle is Kenneth Yates, also of the duo's Harm Stryker (w/
Constant Mauk) & Insects With Tits (w/ Chefkirk). Kenneth Yates utilizes
the no-input mixing technique coupled with live processing using various
filters and pedals. With his music usually comes an abstract visual
fascination with architecture and is psyhogeographical effects on the
human psyche. Inspired by past revolutionary art and social movements like
DaDa & the Situationiste Internationale, he struggles to find a parallel
between art, sound & social unrest, or just perhaps provide a sort of
soundtrack to it all.

preparations to create a cascading wall of noise and subtle, creaking
musique concrete.
