** Edition of 300 copies in silk-screened sleeve. ** Soibiast Anti-Culler stands as one of the most celebrated releases in the Planam catalogue, a cult artifact that captures the anarchic creativity of New Zealand’s noise underground. Witcyst (Clayton Noone) is notorious for an unorthodox approach to sound, and this LP is perhaps his definitive statement—a hallucinatory blend of tape manipulation, found sounds, and electronics that defies easy categorization.
Recorded in 1995, the album unfolds as a series of unpredictable vignettes, where fragments of melody collide with bursts of static and surreal vocalizations. Witcyst’s use of cassette technology is both primitive and visionary, transforming everyday sounds into something uncanny and new. The result is a listening experience that is as disorienting as it is exhilarating. Soibiast Anti-Culler is not for the faint of heart, but for those willing to embrace its chaos, it offers a glimpse into a world where the boundaries of music are constantly being redrawn. This edition, pressed in a limited run, is an essential document for collectors and fans of experimental sound, cementing Witcyst’s reputation as a true original.
Soibiast Anti-Culler is one of the most relevant works among at least a thousand albums Witcyst has originally released on cassettes and CDR's on his own Extemporaneous and Lifespace labels since the early 1990s.
