   About Caustic Castle
MySpace

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.

With his solo debut clocking in just under 13 minutes, you find Mr. Stryker presenting a much more focused assault with a sound that can only be his.

Yo Kenny:

Welcome back from the tour! I'm looking forward to hearing about it when I see you.

I just tried to buy a Moog ring modulator on Ebay, but I got outbid. Alas!
