Caustic Castle
(Selected)Biography:....
Caustic Castle is the solo project of Kenneth Yates b. 1978,
an American experimental musician, improviser and organizer from Richmond,
Virginia. Experimenting with the no-input mixing technique, Kenneth uses
the equalizer controls on the mixing board to tame the frequencies and sculpt
the sound while applying various effects, filters and other electronic
processing. Since 2000, Kenneth has performed in several experimental
projects such as Harm Stryker [2000-2007], a politically and socially charged
duo with Kelly Nourse of ConstantMauk; Insects with Tits [2006-present], a
no-input duo with Roger H. Smith of Chefkirk with an underlying theme of Vegan
action; and Never Work[2007-present]., a duo with Baltimore electro-acoustic
artist Cory O'brien of Myo.....
Kenneth has also collaborated live with artists such as
Wendy Hsu, Carey Sargeant, Kevin Parks, Marty McCavitt, Darius Jones, Bonnie
Jones, Stian Skagen, Clifford Schwing, Eric Eaton, Scott Allison, Chuck Bettis,
Mark Price, and Jason Talbot.....
Noise music, like the other important abstract nouns in the
history of culture, is not a term meant to be defined, but a field to be
explored. Through that exploration, the nature of noise and experimental music
becomes inherently political. With Caustic Castle, sometimes comes an abstract
fascination with architecture and its psycho geographical effects on the human
psyche, and the role it can play in ones livelihood when actions are stunted by
the burdens of capitalism. Inspired by past revolutionary movements such as
DaDa, Surrealism, & the Situationiste Internationale, Caustic Castle
struggles to find a parallel between art, sound, and social unrest, ultimately
subscribing to the idea that it's sometimes better to ask questions, than claim
to have all the answers.

ctrlvlv#002 – Caustic
Castle – “Untitled”....
.. ..
On “Untitled” Caustic Castle presents us with 3 of his
distinct and powerful processed no-input compositions. It should be noted the Kenneth uses no
multi-tracking and all tracks were recorded in 1 take. I have had the pleasure of seeing (hearing)
Kenneth play live on numerous occasions.
I am also privileged to be 1/2 of the no-input mixer duo, Insects with
Tits, along side Kenneth. I can say,
without a doubt, either it being as a performer, organizer, improviser, or
artist, Kenneth has been a great influence in my own approach to sound
composition.
