literary music
Alvin Curran once told me that I make literary music. I think it's a blessing and a curse.
Some of the difficulty I've had in finding labels and support for my music stems from the fact that I am not really working in a well-defined lineage and I'm also not particularly interested in breaking new ground. I'm simultaneously not avant-garde nor genre-defined.
If anything, I would call what I do radical pastiche, a kind of play with form, sound, and references. The fact that I am equally happy conjuring Squarepusher, Luc Ferrari and Patsy Cline is probably offensive to people who take the work of each of those artists very seriously, I guess anyway. But I'm not interested in a ham-fisted academic postmodernism, am much more interested in play, and finding similarities in disparate elements rather than pointing out differences.
I make sonic allusions in a literary style, four-on-the-floor booty bass, fall-to-pieces squeal and thump noise with heart.
