"...The R Duck Show is an exercise in experimental music... Part mash-up, part psy-trance, part independent beat
music, R Duck's audio montage will push the boundaries of your musical
comprehension..."

The R Duck show is a cooperation
between man and machine in order to sculpt organic, improvised electronic
music. The show nods its head toward old time variety shows and modern
radio -life in the day- spoken dry as the coastal sands at low tide.
Tune in for live improvised electronic music drama, performed by the
host and a rotating chamber of special guests, using a variety of multi-effect
sound processors, a studio microphone, a pickens of conventional and
unconventional acoustic instruments and mass market software run on
a handsome custom built portable computer designed by Happy Guy studio.
Every week, story and music strive
to describe contained space by including all it is not and remembering
all it is. The proximity with its surroundings gives absolute love,
existence dependent on the other with no concept of fault, error or
judgment. Shifting the outline of sounds and their content through the
use of electronics, the host of the R Duck show blurs the outline, spilling
contents, mixing one to another, finding a new figure when each piece
births a new outline with and without pieces distinctive to the original,
lying completely separate but completely dependent on their mutual presence.
