About
Aseptic Noise flickered briefly yet intensely in the Italian experimental soundscape from 1983 to 1988. Eleven cassettes, each a fractal of psychic exploration and abstract noise, emerged from this enigmatic label. The label's core lay in the process-driven soundscapes of Lyke Wake, whose repeated collaborations with Negativ Person created interdisciplinary bridges over their shared abyss of sound. "The Noise Of Dream" (1988), the label's swan song, oscillates between dream and dissonance, capturing the liminal space where consciousness dissolves into sound. It stands as a pivotal release, a culmination of Aseptic Noise's sculptural approach to auditory experience. Earlier, in 1987, "Live At Diamond Dogs 20.3.1987 Napoli" offered a raw document of Lyke Wake's live capabilities, a moment frozen in tape that resonated with the city's underground pulse. In 1985, "Let The Suffering Grow Inside" delved deep into thematic depths, a sonic exploration of internal turmoil rendered through layers of tape hiss and abstracted melodies. Each release, from the early "Loneliness" (1983) to "The Dark Sea Of Pain" (1984), contributed to a chronology that was as much about the physicality of cassette tape as it was about the sonic landscapes etched into them. Aseptic Noise, with its obscure yet significant footprint, remains a whisper in the annals of experimental music, a whisper that echoes with the resonance of its own making.
