Free-jazz drummer Tom Surgal played on Thurston Moore's Klangfarbenmelodie.. And The Colorist Strikes Primitiv (Corpus Hermeticum, 1995). They formed a trio with another drummer, William Winant, and recorded Piece For Jetsun Dolma (Les Disques Victo, 1996) and Lost To The City / Noise To Nowhere (Intakt, 2000).

White Out i.e. the New York-based duo of Lin Culbertson (electronics) and Tom Surgal (percussion), concocted anarchic pieces inspired by free-jazz improvisation that sounded like Sun Ra's cosmic jams and psychedelic freak-outs on Red Shift (Ecstatic Peace, 1998), featuring David Nuss of the No-Neck Blues Band. They also recorded two albums with Jim O'Rourke: Drunken Little Mass (Ecstatic Peace, 2000) and China Is Near (All Tomorrow Parties, 2005).

The double-disc Senso (Ecstatic Peace, 2009) documents a live collaboration with Jim O'Rourke and Thurston Moore of december 2004. It contains two 40-minute pieces: Fear Of Fear (Of Fear) and The Eyes The Mouth.

White Out continued with Asphalt and Delay (audioMER, 2011) and Accidental Sky (Northern Spy, 2015), a collaboration with Nels Cline.
