to 1998, in two years only, Mick Harris has released 3 albums and 2 EPs

Michael John Harris started out in the 1980s as a drummer working with
various punk rock and grindcore bands (most notably pioneering grindcore
band Napalm Death); as a drummer he is generally credited with
popularizing the blast beat, which has since become a key component of
much of extreme metal and grindcore. Since the mid-1990s, Harris has
worked primarily in electronic and ambient music, his main projects
being Scorn and Lull. According to Allmusic, Harris’s “genre-spanning
activities have done much to jar the minds, expectations, and record
collections of audiences previously kept aggressively opposed.” While in
Napalm Death, Harris also played drums for Doom and Extreme Noise
Terror, and participated in a side project with Mitch Harris called
Defecation, which produced two records, Purity Dilution and Intention
Surpassed, through Nuclear Blast, but this last one just with Mitch
Harris.
Eraldo Bernocchi is an Italian musician,
producer and sound designer. He created in 1985 the project Sigillum S.
Later, he expanded the cadre of musicians he would work with to include
people such as Mick Harris, Jim Plotkin and Bill Laswell. These
collaborations have up to this day provided an array of releases and
shows. Along with the aforementioned artists, the last 15 years have
seen collaborations with musicians and artists including Harold Budd,
Russell Mills, Toshinori Kondo, Raiz, Almamegretta, Thomas Fehlmann, Zu,
DJ Olive, and a host of others.
