MySpace a place for friends

I started by singing in a hardcore band called Suction in the early 1990s, we played noisy adolescent punk with leanings towards swans and Fugazi . After that I joined unhome (featuring members of long running Tunbridge wells post-hardcore band Joeyfat) we released one album on Unlabel titled "A short History of Houses" a collection of Metronomic post rock songs, and a split single with Papa M. Unhome split in late 1999.

I went on to play synths with Detroit space-rockers 'Fuxa' for a UK tour with Spectrum. Concurrently, I had been developing my interest in improvisation using detuned guitars, tape loops, mini disc players and fx pedals. In early 2000 I recorded a solo self-titled album (not Bakelite Blues as it has become know as!) of acoustic finger-picking, experimental electronics and spooked vocals, which was released on the U-Sound Archives label.

I combined compositional song structures, drones, layered vocals and improvisations on my 2005 album "Old Fog" (ATP/R), a collection of spectral moods, eerie landscapes and fragile emotions. These first two albums were recorded on a digital 8-track whilst I lived in a flat above Warren St tube station - at the beginning of some tracks you can hear the rumble of the hellish intersection I looked over everyday. In late 2006 I released my third album "Furrowed Brow" (ATP/R).

I have collaborated with a number of different musicians and artists, including Stephen O'Malley (SunnO))), Khanate) on his Ginnungagap side project (Southern Records limited Latitudes series) where we spent two days recording at the Southern studios getting psyche with the doom folk and more recently we performed as a duo for the Maximum Black Festival. I provided the soundtrack to Spartacus Chetwynd's performance piece at Tate Britain, it was a dream-like experience to be able to play in the main hall. I've played as a part of JOMF, Duke Garwood and the ladywoodsman, Little Wet Horse and continue to play as a part of Mothlite.

My latest album is called "Portal" (ATP/R). I also recently released an edition of the ATP/R double 7" single project entitled "Custom Made". I am currently working on a new album under the name Alexander Tucker & Decomposed Orchestra .This will feature an extended line-up to enclude drums ,horns , and strings . A collaboration with Daniel O Sullivan and Stephen O Malley will be also be birthed soon called BEING .

I'm also an artist, creating artwork for my album covers and side projects, including ongoing drawings and comic artwork for 'Sturgeon White Moss' (White Moss Press) and the cover for Nordic doom-master Wolfmangler (Aurora Borealis).
