TONY BUCK
One of Australia’s most adventurous exports, Tony Buck’s recent performance activity focuses on solo percussion concerts using only the acoustic sounds of the drum kit and associated bits and pieces. His material is informed by his experiences with electronic music, incorporating ideas of sampling, loops and over-layering. Blending sounds, cross-fading textures and juxtaposing patterns and motifs continue to be primary concerns, as he experiments with the richness and subtlety of acoustic sounds in a living and breathing space. He is the leader of the hardcore/improv. band, PERIL, and has played, toured or recorded with, among others, Jon Rose, Nicolas Collins, Tenko, John Zorn, and The Machine for Making Sense. His solo CD, self_contained_underwater_breathing_apparatus, was released in 2002. Revolver Magazine describes his playing as what happens "when pushing the envelope turns into torching the post office."
