LASOHALO is a North Carolina-based experimental music project founded by Mark Robinson and Ted Singdahlsen in the late 1980s and part of the Wifflefist collective in the Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill area. Their sound draws on obscure records, shortwave radio, found cassette tapes, and fragments of popular media, assembled into collage-based soundscapes they describe as "playing the studio as the instrument." The result sits somewhere between avant-pop electronica and ambient music — melodic and accessible, yet layered and strange, drawing comparisons to The Avalanches, Negativland, and Byrne/Eno's My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. Across six releases spanning 1992 to 2026, their work explores themes of cultural decay, memory, and media saturation — what they call "terminal nostalgia." Rather than composing in a traditional sense, they mediate and recontextualize existing culture, with each piece growing organically from a sample or idea at its own pace. Listener descriptions range from surreal to poetic, capturing a project that's genuinely hard to pin down but unmistakably its own thing. Albums and available music (newest first):
