FOWLER LUKE - VINYL FOWL TAPES II [VINYL]

Popis - FOWL TAPES II [VINYL]:
'Fowl Tapes II' is the debut solo album by Luke Fowler, a Glaswegian musician, artist and filmmaker. Fowler played in the groups Lied Music and Rude Pravo and curates the Shadazz label. He has collaborated with Jean-Luc Guionnet, Eric La Casa, Richard Youngs, Lee Patterson and Tohsiya Tsunoda. His documentary films have explored "counter cultural" figures like Scottish psychiatrist R.D. Lain, English composer Cornelius Cardew and Xentos "L-Voag" Jones, founding member of The Homosexuals. In 2012 he decided to hand over a hard drive of his many recordings to his friend and collaborator Richard Youngs who, with complete carte blanche, edited down the recordings (and added a few lines of synth himself) into one coherent album for the Dekorder label. This release makes clear that Fowler has carved his own niche, combining obsolete digital synths, drum computers and homemade 'organic oscillators' with pure electronic tones in a singular and approachable style that embraces improvisation, early electronic music, minimal or "cosmic" music, yet with a down to earth, unpretentious approach. The LP includes a free download code for both 'Fowl Tapes I' and 'II'. 'Fowl Tapes I' contains collaborations with Alex Neilson, Mark Vernon, Aaron Moore and Daniel Padden of Volcano The Bear, Sarah Kenchington, Neil Davidson and Chris Hladowski from 2004-2006.
