Simon McIlroy joined the band

In April 1991, Simon McIlroy joined the band as a synthesizer/sampler player with Adam Kendall as a visual artist (Adam and Simon have been friends since they were teenagers and they were doing a lot of experimental music together before). Adam Kendall helped built the initial visual setup for the band, collecting and compiling imagery and was the first to travel with the band, taking this out across the U.S. and Europe. At this point, keyboardist Simon McIlroy also began contributing to developing the band’s visuals. He previously did different psychedelic visuals with a similar setup for underground raves, and while the imagery was completely different, the band interacted with other experienced visual artists which allowed Neurosis to borrow and steal techniques that were helpful.
