Andrew Duke discography
albums (forthcoming): Sprung is out now--read reviews and feedback--on Bip-Hop (France); Sprung is organic, wet sounding techno that skitters along a range of frequencies--from scurrying subtleties to low pulsing rumbles--each brushing different areas of the sonic spectrum. Click here to link to the Bip-Hop site and listen to 4 tracks from the album; Steb Sly (Dan Curtin's Metamorphic, Itiswhatitis, and other imprints) will be doing a remix of "Pharmakoi" (one of the album tracks)
Physical and Mental Health is out now--read
reviews and feedback--on Folding
Cassettes/( )Dial Records (San Francisco) with handcrafted packaging from
Berlin's Nathaniel Hamon (prints available for purchase).
Physical and Mental Health is the second release in a
trilogy that began in 1994 with Ashes and Ceremony (Cognition Audioworks, Halifax) and will conclude
with More Destructive Than Organized (Bake/Staalplaat, The Netherlands). From the
liner notes:
Halifax Nova Scotia has the world's second largest natural harbor. Public figures make much of this when promoting the
Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM). What isn't mentioned is that--each and every day--all of the area's untreated
sewage is pumped into this harbor. Continued (in)action has turned a thin of beauty into a rotten cesspool. Some pieces on this album
use audio captures of the harbor's water juxtaposed with samples of the untainted grace and power of a thunderstorm that shook the area
in the summer of 2000.
More Destructive Than Organized will be released this summer on Bake/Staalplaat (The Netherlands). Nathaniel Hamon has done the artwork (prints available for purchase; see below for a sneak peak at the graphics). From the liner notes: More Destructive Than Organized completes the cycle that began with Ashes And Ceremony (Cognition Audioworks, 1994) and continued with Physical and Mental Health (Folding Cassettes/( ) Dial Records). The series explores how we destroy ourselves and the world through our acts and obsessions, rituals and beliefs. While stress, illlness, aging, and death are unavoidable, why do we insist on furthering our deterioration through conflict and overconsumption?
Highest Common Denominator will be released November 11 on Greg Clow and Sheryl Kirby's Toronto-based Piehead Records. There will be a big picture of a delicious slice of pecan pie on the cover of this album. Yum!
Consumer Versus User will be released late 2002/early 2003 on Dimitri "Phthalocyanine" Fergadis' Phthalo (California). The cover will be based on some watercolor paintings. Gotta get out the ol' paintbrush soon. Second Opinion: Physical and Mental Health Revisited (a couple of reworked tracks from Physical and Mental Health plus new material in the same theme to reflect on the Ashes and Ceremony/Physical and Mental Health/More Destructive Than Organized trilogy) will be released in 2003. The talented Mr. Hamon will be hooking up the look for this one. albums (released): Sit/Stand: Live Humidity 2001 info
