About Aaron Dilloway

Aaron Dilloway is one of the most creative, prolific, and revered figures in the Midwest American experimental/noise scene. His performances and recordings incorporate rhythmic loops from eight-track tapes, vocal improvisations, found sounds, and field recordings. He uses contact microphones in order to generate harsh, feedback-laced noises, sometimes placing microphones inside his mouth in order to create bizarre, ogre-like distorted voices. While he channels some dark, violent energies into his sonic constructions, there's also a crucial element of absurdist humor to his work, making his performances confusing yet highly enjoyable spectacles of Dadaist performance art. Perhaps best known for his involvement with Michigan noise group Wolf Eyes, Dilloway's extensive solo career includes hundreds of limited cassette recordings and more fully realized works like 2012's double album Modern Jester and 2021's collaborative albums Lucy & Aaron (with electronic artist Lucrecia Dalt) and Body/Dilloway/Head (with Body/Head).
