BASTARD NOISE with SIKHARA - 'Tukano Khalkha' CD (GLK / Radon)
(2006) In December 2003, Sikhara came together with Bastard Noise (Wood / Wiese / Nelson line-up) for a studio session in Valencia, California. The two groups each created the groundwork for a track, which the other played over the top of, for a sort of duality in the composition. BN contributed a classic example of their "Caveman Electronics", combined with laptop manipulations. Sikhara leant a sense of identity to the tracks with a series of vocal collages, invoking a story to accompany the harsh sound beds of BN. Surgically mixed by sonic architect Kamilsky. A masterpiece of Harsh Noise!
