Aaron Dilloway
Aaron Dilloway is a major figure in the noise scene, releasing and recording music since the age of 16. He was a member of experimental bands Couch, Galen and Universal Indians. He is a former guitarist and tape manipulator for the noise rock band Wolf Eyes, which he left in 2005 to live most of that year in Kathmandu, Nepal. While his wife did her graduate work there, he roamed the streets recording every sound he could, many of which are used in his recent recordings and performances. Currently, he runs the noise record label, record store and mail-order Hanson Records, which he began in Brighton, Michigan in 1994.

Blizzard
Recorded in the midst of an actual extreme winter weather event, Blizzard conjures the early synthesizer experiments of Popol Vuh and Tangerine Dream combined with the gritty reel-to-reel tape manipulations long employed by both Aaron Dilloway (Hanson Records / ex-Wolf Eyes) and Robert Turman (founding member of the pioneering industrial outfit NON and a celebrated solo artist in his own right).As the story goes, Blizzard was recorded in January 2009 during an Ohio snowstorm which hit on the ver…
Band ep
sold out at source, few available "At long last, this recording sees a proper release. There's a story: Initially, I released this as a cassette on my own label, Silver Lining. To be fair, you can hardly call it a label. I have no right releasing my own music, let alone anyone else's. I'm bad at manufacturing things, I'm bad at promoting them, and I'm especially dismal when it comes to packing things up and mailing them out. And so this cassette had a brief brush with public life and then vanish…
The beauty bath
"Alternate version of very limited LP (250 copies) on Japanese label Rockatansky. About 50% of this is actually different & reworked material than what is on the Rockatansky LP. This edition is a one time pressing limited to 500 copies. Recorded 2008 / 2013. Mastered for vinyl by Jason Lescalleet." "...an amazing LP, with low-level battlefield tectonics and the sound of smeared and tortured magnetic tape coming over like a rusty, Industrial scale take on classic 20th century minimalism. Som…
Popeth
Awesome LP from two masters of tectonic psycho-acoustics! "It is with great pride and pleasure that Glistening Examples announces the newest collaborative efforts of Aaron Dilloway and Jason Lescalleet. Recorded at Tarker Mills in February 2014 then mixed and mastered at Glistening Labs, this 38 minute LP was carved deeply into 150 grams of virgin vinyl via Direct Metal Mastering at GZ Media in the Czech Republic. These records are sheathed in deluxe poly-lined inner sleeves and presented in …
Gene Pick
On side A, two of the best American artists in a collaboration to remember 'Boogie Woogie Man' Jimmy Valiant. On side B, a track by Gene Pick, new astro in american noise scene, recorded live to tape with modular system, ms20, mixer and pedals.
Modern Jester
CD edition of 2012's double LP. Tape loops, percussion, synthesizer, junk, voice, and tape FX "Modern Jester" is quite possibly the culmination of everything we've heard from Dilloway that's come before it. A hyper-focused monolithic double LP that distills all past phases of inspiration into a harrowing, but strangely beautiful journey.†Fred Thomas, All Music Guide "From short bursts to long-form, hallucinatory epics, it's a sprawling collection that highlights every facet of Dillo…
Corpse on Horseback
"Ergot Records inaugural release: Aaron Dilloway's Corpse on Horseback. Originally released as a cassette on Hanson Records in 2003, this marks the first time that this classic 10 year old recording of ultra crude 8-track tape junk metal loops is available on vinyl. Limited edition of 500 copies on gold wax."
I drink your skin
CD reissue of 2001 recording, originally released on cassette by American Tapes. Kevin and I traded raw material at some point in 2001. After discussing a collaboration I found a cassette of unreleased material of myself messing with Renaissance (the band) and junk noise 8-track loops on the floor of my car as I was getting ready to leave for home from a Chicago trip. A couple days later Kevin sent me a mini-disc of his own unreleased material.. His disc was caked in spilled coffee or something …
Grapes and Snakes
Grapes and Snakes is the first collaborative work of two of the most respected American underground experimental/noise artists, Aaron Dilloway and Jason Lescalleet. Using purely analog synths and tape manipulation, they build a foggy psychoacoustic mass that lies between dynamic yet patiently treated tape-music and industrial howl. Aaron Dilloway has been releasing and recording music since the age of 16. He was a member of experimental bands Couch, Galen and Universal Indians. He is a form…
Stomach Pump
Another extreme release by one of the most harsh musicians around, Aaron Dilloway provides us with a drilling experience, or as some has described it "...like having a stomach pump, connected to a drill brain wired to your balls and plugged to your PA."
Lip Syncing to Verme
As a slow motion Stan Brakhage on K, this last and definitive new album from Aaron Dilloway is fluid and cinematic. After the monumental Chain Shot Lp and a furious live activity, the Mid West's mad tape-scientist is back to take your hand and dive you in a buzzy ocean of muddy water loops. Welcome to this creepy journey to the south of heaven, here you can just crawl like a worm.
Boggs Vol.2
"Boggs Volume 2 is a collection of two long out of print CDRs from Wolf Eyes member, Aaron Dilloway. This new release contains, in their original entirety, the Seizure CDR released by Hanson and the Appalling & Alive 3" CDR released by Chondritic Sound. Hound Dog Guy Still Alive Boggs? What the fuck is that? Its a lake filled with witch urine, the real scary type. Three parts expired turpentine, two parts glow-in-the-dark ghost pee & the murky rest filled the reel to reel scrape dust fro…
The Squid
Dilloway & Yeh recorded live to 4-track cassette Summer 2006 in Ann Arbor. Yeh on violin, Dilloway on Tape loops of Yeh's Violin. Originally released on LP, this Digipak CD version includes a bonus track collage of the 3 tracks from the duo's out of print FALSE SPEECH cassette.
Chain Shot
Opening with the gyrating scum of a lint-filled wind turbine, Aaron Dilloway's Chain Shot is a go-nowhere-quick exploration of the bowels of an inferno. This might just be what it sounds like inside the volcano, the lava spluttering up on you before it hardens into its shiny metallic coating. With only tape loops, metal, and horns (and sometimes, it seems, metal on horns) the two side long pieces, "Chain Shot" and "Execution Dock" respectively, explore the ugly underbelly of noise before ju…
Hiss Nausea
CD reissue of a double cassette from 2006 originally released in an edition of 30 copies. Very minimal loops of distant feedback, hiss and scruff drenched in WAY TOO MUCH tape delay. Includes 15 minutes not included on the original set. This CD edition of 200 hand-numbered copies in digipak with artwork by Bonnie Banks. First in a series of low run CD's from Hanson. Only available DIRECTLY from HANSON.
