Black To Comm is an alias for Dekorder label owner Marc Richter’s audio excursions. Richter creates his music using scratchy shellac and vinyl records, field recordings, a so called “kitchen gamelan,” and more traditional instruments like organs, guitars, pianos and mbiras. The layering and hypnotic repetition of short loops from Psychedelia, Free Jazz, Vaudeville, and various other old recordings reveals alternative melodic dimensions not apparent in the source material. His work evokes a contradictory feeling of lightness and intensity, a bittersweet melancholy tempered by the chill of something ominous beneath the surface.

    voice is somewhat reminiscent of Scott Walker's

    this guy's voice is hilarious and horrifying at the same time, but he comes off with so much conviction he doesn't make a joke of himself. Earth is pretty special.
