Aaron Dilloway - The Gag File

Follow-up to the 2012 album, 'Modern Jester'.

I don't quite know what to make of this so I'll leave it up to people on here.

Hundreds of releases and countless live performances littered the path that lead to 2012’s Modern Jester, artist Aaron Dilloway’s last major artistic statement as a solo artist and one his most well received documents since leaving Wolf Eyes, the prolific noise troupe that Dilloway co-founded in the late 90’s with musician Nate Young. Within these pieces, we find a surreal treasure hunt that helps guide us through Dilloway’s obsessions, neurosis and influences while also developing a splintered maturity of someone with great complexity stumbling through a well thought out, yet totally unplanned “long game” of an artistic career. Since then, Dilloway has been busy collaborating with the likes of Genesis Breyer P-Orridge and Jason Lescalleet, releasing various short form sketches and running his retail outpost, Hanson Records, while slowly working on his next major album, The Gag File.

Mesmerizingly bizarre live show.

Yeah, I've not seen him live but he has seemingly no understanding of, or interest in, the supposed limits of experimental music. It's strange indeed. Even the cover is unsettling.

SoundCloud obliterated the original URL. No wonder they can't get funding.

In case you missed it. One of the most disturbing, haunting and yet interesting artists out there right now.

This is not Tycho.

Is this Trip Metal?

I think this is something all its own.

You said it, Aaron.

“About 10 or so years ago, I came across a “fake” Beatles 8-track tape on Pickwick titled The Tribe Sing And Play The Hits Of Lennon, McCartney and Harrison. I remember coming across these budget “sound-a-like” tapes and records quite often at record shops and thrift stores for years. They are basically collections of cover versions of hit songs quickly recorded by random session musicians and designed to kind of trick people into buying them, thinking they are getting the “original artist.” Like, the cover would say, in real large print, “HITS OF THE ROLLING STONES,” then in real small type, “performed by The Current Event.”
