CUT HANDS
• a project founded in 2007 heavily inspired by William Bennett's fascination for Haitian vaudou, deploying percussion in radical new ways, generating an intense sound unrivalled in its physical and emotional intensity
• in 2002, being inspired by Haitian vaudou musicians’ capacity to make intensely powerful music with almost no technology, William Bennett first employed djembes and doundouns on the classic Wriggle Like A Fucking Eel 12” by Whitehouse, in what was seen as a radical musical direction by many in the wider noise/industrial scene
• the name was derived from the song Cut Hands Has The Solution by his original Whitehouse project

ASMUS TIETCHENS
German experimental musician.
He began recording sound experiments in 1965 with electronic musical instruments, synthesizers and tape loops. In the 1970s he met producer Okko Bekker who has been credited as producer on Tietchens' releases ever since.
Although some of his better-known recordings from the early 80s are what he refers to as "electronic pseudo-pop", most of Tietchens' works are much more experimental in nature, drawing on influences as diverse as Industrial, Electro-Acoustic, Ambient, and Musique Concrète, moving toward more abstract sound collages.
The sleeves on his albums often quote philosopher Emil Cioran.
