BIG TEMPORARY PRICE DROP! “I Said No Doctors!” double-LP is a compilation of the most groundbreaking artists of current and past decades who have redefined sound by creating and destroying musical instruments to fit a specific sonic character and method of music-making. During this audio journey we hear Silver Apples’ Simeon Coxe combining bench oscillators, sound filters, telegraph keys and radio parts into one of the first electronic instruments. David Grubbs (Gastr del Sol, Bastro, Squirrel Bait, The Red Crayola) plays an alligator-clip prepared guitar. Markus Popp’s composition features his Oval Process software. Indonesian noise band Senyawa plays a modified Javanese farm plough. Dan Deacon generates an atonal barrage of MIDI-triggered pin-point notes from an acoustic grand piano. Jad Fair’s custom guitar, in which the neck attaches to the body using a system of rubber bands, allows dramatic bends. Bismuth, featuring Yuri Landman (who has built guitars for Thurston Moore and Lee Renaldo of Sonic Youth) performs on prepared guitars and other instruments created by his Hypercustom Guitars. Ciat Lonbarde’s Peter B plays the Deerhorn synthesizer. The compilation is curated by Dymaxion Groove founder Tom Tolleson, who plays a modified Fender Jazzmaster with a _ ratio of separate playable strings over two pickups on the album as well. “I Said No Doctor’s” is a celebration of sound and artistry beyond the range provided by standard musical instruments. This double-LP is available in two variants, colored and black vinyl, both 180-gram, each with a digital download card.

Various I Said No Doctors! (180 Gr Colored) vinyl on Dymaxion Groove is a double-LP compilation dedicated entirely to artists who build, modify, or destroy their instruments as part of the compositional process, pressed on 180-gram colored vinyl with a digital download card.
This is not a genre compilation. It is a document of a practice: the building and modification of instruments to achieve sounds that no standard instrument can produce. The artists assembled here include Silver Apples’ Simeon Coxe, who combined oscillators, telegraph keys, and radio parts into one of the first electronic instruments. David Grubbs, known from Gastr del Sol and Bastro, plays alligator-clip prepared guitar. Markus Popp contributes a piece using his Oval Process software. Indonesian noise band Senyawa appears playing a modified Javanese farm plough. Jad Fair’s custom guitar uses rubber bands in place of the standard neck-body joint, enabling bends that a conventional instrument cannot achieve. The compilation was curated by Dymaxion Groove founder Tom Tolleson, who also performs on a modified Fender Jazzmaster. Each artist on this record made or substantially altered the instrument they play.
Dymaxion Groove pressed this in two variants: colored vinyl and black, both 180-gram. The colored pressing is the one worth owning for collectors who care about the format as an object. The weight and the color together make this a substantial physical release for music that was always about the material and the physical. A digital download card is included. The double-LP format gives the record the space the music needs. This is not music that compresses well into a short runtime.
The roster here is specific enough to satisfy serious collectors of experimental and noise music. Silver Apples, Gastr del Sol, Senyawa, and Dan Deacon on the same record is a strong curatorial argument. The Dymaxion Groove label operates in a niche that does not produce large runs, which means the colored pressing has a limited circulation that will not be replenished on demand. For the shelf dedicated to instrument-focused experimental music, this double-LP is a complete and considered statement.
