Caustic Toad


A place for those with musical curiosity.

Excursions and experiments with acoustic, electric, electro-acoustic, field-recorded, and other thought-provoking sound sources.



Our first release is "Woosh", seven tracks of structured improvisations from Eric Wallack, Jeff Sampson and Bret Hart. Blending synthesizers, Chapman Stick, electric guitar, samples, homemade instruments, voice and several months of 2003, the trio left us with 50 minutes of uniquely familiar music that breathes all the air.

"This was an enjoyable set of music. ...much of which can be listened to as relaxation or closer considered listening. But even at its most accessible there are avant-garde bits that crop up, just in case anyone gets any ideas about how they might easily classify these guys."
