NON

Real Name:Boyd Rice
Profile:Boyd Rice is not just the most extreme artist in Mute's left-field catalogue, he's a living monument to what can happen to the American Dream if it's raised in a trailer park, weaned on The Partridge Family and The Shangri-La's and then subjected to prolonged doses of pop esoterica. An infamous prankster and scourge of the politically correct, he is as almost as famous for his enthusiastic ownership of one of the world's largest Barbie collections as he is for previous espousals of The Church Of Satan.

Boyd began his exploration into the mind-bending properties of noise in the mid '70s with the aid of a tape recorder and various loops of the aforementioned girl groups, turning bubble-gum pop into a continuous drone. This first collection, known as "The Black Album" was made toward the end of 1975 self-released in 1977 and later re-released as "Boyd Rice" by Mute in 1981. Boyd met Daniel Miller (head of Mute Records) at his first gig in the UK, where he played alongside with Throbbing Gristle, and was among the first artists to be signed on Mute. He is also famous for his 7" with treated noise loop grooves, which can be played at every speed and also off-center with extra drilled holes. The first of them, the infamous "Knive Ladder", was also his first release as NON. Boyd Rice also releases records with his own name and as Boyd Rice And Friends (with different guests), he does spoken words under the moniker The Boyd Rice Experience and a cover band of 60s' bubble-gum pop songs with the name Spell (with Rose McDowall). Various appearances on works of Blood Axis, Current 93, Death In June and others.
