Free sound mavericks White Out first arose from the subterranean depths of New York's fading meat packing district in the fall of 1995. White Out's core nucleus of Lin Culbertson and Tom Surgal employ a unique array of instruments including: analog synthesizers, cast off effects units, electric autoharp, flute, expanded drum kit, singing bowls, springs, Cambodian shells, temple woodblocks, chains, metal scraps, air tubes, gongs, bells, whistles, etc. Shape-shifting from gig to gig, record to record, White Out never plays the same thing twice. Over the years White Out has cultivated an extended family of accompanists to join them on their sonic odyssey. These guest artists include: Jim O'Rourke, Thurston Moore, Nels Cline, William Winant, and Mike Watt among others. White Out's upcoming performance at Le Poisson Rouge comes on the heels of two recent releases: SENSO, the 2-disc epic collaboration with Thurston and Jim O'Rourke on Moore's Ecstatic Peace label ("A record that requires – nay, demands – your attention." BBC) and LIVE AT NO FUN with Carlos Giffoni and C Spencer Yeh accompanying, on No Fun Productions.
