Artist Bio

Emerging from Omaha’s noise scene, experimental act Cast Off Form blends organic and electronic elements including electroacoustic improvisation, field recordings, and off-label uses of (non)instruments.

The resulting sounds can be both abrasive and ethereal. Known for thematic releases with densely layered textures, Cast Off Form invites listeners to a place deep within themselves. It is a one-of-a-kind experience.

Hello Friends!

It was great seeing some of you at Noise Brunch this morning!

My slow withdrawal from the internet continues. Instead of using web searches to track celestial objects, I now have a copy of the 2026 Old Farmer’s Almanac.

Earlier this week, we had a full moon at perigee. During perigee, the moon is approximately 10,000 miles closer to the Earth than usual.

On the solar calendar, this weekend also marks the start of winter. The Midwest gets its first blast of arctic air right on time. With winter descending, it is important for me to remember winter dormancy isn’t just for trees—humans benefit as well.

November continues with astronomical events. On November 10th, Jupiter and the Moon share celestial longitude (conjunction). On November 20th, Mercury and the New Moon are in conjunction. These nights present excellent chances to pause and look up.

Meanwhile, 2026 stalks.

In the new year, Subvert.fm expects to be fully functional. If you aren’t familiar, Subvert is a collectively owned music marketplace. When you sign up as an artist, label or supporter, you automatically become part owner of the platform.

Members receive the Manifesto for the Artist-Owned Internet, a compelling vision for the future of music distribution drawing inspiration from Spain’s MONDRAGON Co-op.

Founding members are alpha-testing Subvert as we speak.

With few exceptions, my new releases will be exclusive to Subvert. I will let everyone know when Printshift (re-recorded) and Recanning — a new release featuring the infamous 28 oz tin can, plus a couple smaller cousins — are available.

I regret to inform you that, after the Kansas City Noisefest, these cans are non-operational.

2026 will also be my first mini tour in late June. More to come on that!

Below are a few more updates:

My work on Being Unformed has paused because of work and family obligations, but January and February will offer time to test ideas and prepare for a physical release and art exhibit.

Would you like to receive mail?

In 2026, I will move this to a physical newsletter. No subscription needed. Just your address and willingness to receive occasional mail.
