Converter is Scott Sturgis, a well-known Rhythmic Noise artist, who released quite a few classic RN albums under the esteemed Ant-Zen label.
As Converter's side project, notime is mostly unknown to most.
The two releases of notime, "living planet" and "dying planet", are purely experimental joint efforts of images and sounds. They were created over the course of a few months in 2002. Jenny Sturgis (Dislocation Photo) took photos and Scott Sturgis conducted field recordings, then both audio and video materials have been compiled and treated into 2 albums, each 250 copies and each copy featuring its own cover art.
Unlike Converter's signature dark, dense and complex sound-scape, the two limited releases of notime are more experimental, haunting and "loosely arranged". Although not short of explosive rhythms, the key elements are hollowed drones and crackling ambiance.
On the back cover, the release note says "All sounds recorded with microphone and minidisc in the field, sampled and manipulated in the studio".
