Biography

[edit]

Dilloway was born in 1976 and grew up in Brighton, Michigan.[1] As a teenager, he began attending house shows in nearby Ann Arbor.[1] He formed a group called Galen in the 1990s, and soon after became a member of Couch, for which Galen had opened at its first show.[1] Dilloway then moved to Ann Arbor, where he began working with experimental and noise groups, including Universal Indians, and where he co-founded the group Wolf Eyes, with which he performed until 2004.[1]

Late in 2004, Dilloway moved to Nepal, where he recorded prolifically (his own material, field recordings, and Nepalese radio broadcasts).[1] He moved to Ohio in 2007, working with Emeralds among others, and releasing his own material. Among his releases are 2012's Modern Jester[2][3] and 2017's The Gag File.[4][5]

He released a collaborative album with Lucrecia Dalt, Lucy & Aaron (2021), through Hanson Records.[6]

He also released a collaborative album with Body/Head, Body/Dilloway/Head (2021), through Three Lobed Recordings.[7]
