| In 1996 Wolf Eyes begins life as a single individual residing somewhere in the sprawling Metro Detroit labyrinth. Nate Young is Wolf Eyes, generating noises with electronics, programming, voice and whatever instrument he can (re)construct. Aaron Dilloway releases a few near-extinct cassettes of this initial Wolf Eyes incarnation on his Hanson imprint then he joins the group full-time, generating noises with guitar, tapes, electronics, horns, mouth and whatever instrument lies within an arm’s reach. Wolf Eyes (as two) tour and record incessantly. A steady stream of quick-to-vanish cassettes, split LP's, lathe-cut records, and CD-R's, flows into the general population.
Occassional Vital Weekly writer Gregg Kowalksky also plays music under the Osso Bucco monniker. Originally he is from New York City, raised in Florida but now living in sunny Barcelona. In his own music he works inside glitchy ambient (for the lack of a better
definition). His four track album make use of guitars, lots of guitar processings and a bit of field recordings. Not unlike Fennesz, Osso Bucco however opts for a more relaxing, ambient sound. Warm, glitchy music.
