Working with many different artists and musicians, he has produced many different recordings, performances, festivals, groups and experimentations in the past years. He has helped put out music for those associated with The Whitehaus, a house in Boston, MA, known by underground music patrons and purveyors across the country. Foam has worked with many different mediums, from "Harsh noise" outfits including Bang! Bros. featuring Mark Johnson from Hunnie Bunnies, to the more chilled out folk of Peace, Loving, and doing interesting one off performances with groups such as Libras of Sound (with Greg Beson), utilizing a full concert venue's sounds and light board, while doing a performance consisting of a ten minute sound check that morphs into a into a game of hide and seek, spanning the entire venue.In 2013, ARKM Foam released the bizarre and intense Lower Case Tape/ NoTape, a cassette consisting of two pieces of music, created only using two tape machines connected to contact microphones." ^ Hide Bio for Arkm Foam • Show Bio for Neil 'Cloaca' Young "Neil Young aka Neil 'Cloaca' Young (b. 1976) is an artist - a musician and filmmaker, mostly - based in Los Angeles (aka Gabrielino-Tongva territory).
