About the Foundation

Wolf Eyes

Originally formed in Ann Arbor and Detroit in 1995 and formerly on the Sub Pop label (Nirvana, Soundgarden, etc), Wolf Eyes is now on Jack White’s Third Man label (see below). Wolf Eyes is generally credited with creating the entire “Noise” genre of popular music.

Windy & Carl

Cited as “A leading light of the Michigan space-rock scene” by Allmusic, the minimalist group Windy & Carl formed in 1993 around the core husband-and-wife duo of guitarist Carl Hultgren and bassist/singer Windy Weber. Their music borrows heavily from the sounds of 1980s era bands like Cocteau Twins and other “dream pop” and “shoegazer” acts.

Aaron Dilloway

An experimental musician and composer originally from Brighton, Michigan who works with the manipulation of 8-Track tape loops in combination with voice, tape delays and various organic and electronic sound sources. A founding member of the industrial noise group Wolf Eyes, Dilloway now resides in Oberlin, Ohio where he runs Hanson Records and Mailorder.
