1) Under the name NON, originally with second member Robert Turman, Boyd Rice has recorded several seminal noise music albums, and collaborated with experimental music/dark folk artists like Current 93, Death in June, Rose McDowall and with Coil as Sickness of Snakes.

Most of his music has been released on the Mute Records label. Rice has also collaborated with Foetus, Z'ev, Frank Tovey, Tony Wakeford of Sol Invictus, Douglas P. of Death in June and Michael Moynihan of Blood Axis.

His later albums have often been explicitly conceptual. On Might! (1995), Rice layers portions of "Ragnar Redbeard"'s Social Darwinist harangue, Might is Right over sound beds of looped noise and manipulated frequencies.

1997's God and Beast explores the intersection in the soul of man's physical and spiritual natures over the course of an album that alternates abrasive soundscapes with passages of tranquility.

In 2006 Rice returned to the studio to record raw vocal sound sources for a collaboration with Industrial percussionist/ethnomusicologist Z'ev.

2) NON is the pseudonym for Norio Hanzawa, a composer for the video game company Treasure Co Ltd. NON is one of the original members of Treasure and is responsible for the soundtrack to their debut game, Gunstar Heroes.

Since then he has either contributed to, or is wholly responsible for the soundtrack to every published Treasure game since.

3) A Swedish multi-instrumentalist also known as Stigmata. Ex-member of Lifelover, Woundism, IXXI and Hypothermia (live).
