German experimental artist Marc Richter produces the majority of his recordings under the name Black to Comm, exploring the darkest edges of drone and abstract audio design. His haunting, surreal productions combine acoustic instrumentation, samples, and electronic manipulation, with sound sources ranging from crackly old records to droning organs. On occasion, he'll incorporate breakbeats or detached techno rhythms into his audio constructions. Unpredictable and often disturbing, Black to Comm's music is always magical and engrossing. Initially appearing with several releases on Richter's own Dekorder label, including 2006's Rückwärts Backwards, Black to Comm released acclaimed albums on well-known experimental labels like Type and De Stijl, eventually appearing on Thrill Jockey with releases such as 2020's Oocyte Oil & Stolen Androgens. At Zeenath Parallel Heavens, a sort of reaction to the growth and complications of artificial intelligence, appeared in 2023.
