"The title refers to that certain timbral or spatial or acoustic property that makes you notice a sound. I record all the sounds I use, both in my studio and in the field and all in M/S Stereo. I listen for that bit of new information in the sound, that uniqueness, that thing that made me turn my head and push record. That’s the sound I use. Sound is an energy field that I’ve been immersed in and worked in my whole life. There are always surprises and ways to treat the ear to new experiences and I try to find them in the real sounds of my world." 
​John Wiggins

The trio performed live improvised sound fused with elements of avant garde, classical, futurism, and popular culture.

We, No Thing, were a late 80s trio that formed our sets around the cassette tape. Everything, even live shows were done to tape. The release is all transfers from the original analog cassettes. We performed often locally, but published very little. We have just released a cache of recordings for people to hear.

The album is available now on CDR (actually a factory made data DVD which includes 5+ hours of music plus bonus materials)  and download from Acousmatique Recordings at Bandcamp.

    Inspired by the mystery of life. I manipulate sound to create intangible electro-organic impressions between music and noise.
