"...It's flickering shadows on a grey wall, it's malformed figures running through the trees, it's a slightly maniacal giggle in the night, it's a breath on your neck in an empty room, it's all these things and more..."
Re: dux tion is the solo project of Christophe G. aka The Post-Human Cyborg - afrofuturist, anarchist, composer, deviant, multi-instrumentalist, sound-artist and vegan. I am originally from Los Angeles (Leimert Park), Ca., now living and working in Chicago, Illinois. Formerly the keyboardist/bassist for Impulse, D.O.D., Wardrobe Cathedral, Immaculate Corrosion and Drug Of Choice. I also contributed synths and programming to Los Angeles based industrial/goth rock group Die My Darling. Appearing on their debut CD 'Virulent' (Trisol 2002).. I first discovered music through the clarinet, playing the instrument from the age of six years old. I began studying the piano at age ten, studying both classical and jazz musics and later learned the tenor sax, flute and oboe. I also spent two years studying orchestration in college. I think of myself as an "abstract sound sculptor". Sound sculpting is more about creating a mood. It's about creating music that provokes the imagination. I released my first record with Impulse, a four-song EP of electro-funk. 1990 saw the release of the industrial/acid-house/rap collision titled 'Warhol Machine'12" followed that same year by 'The Dream Is the Drug' 12" featuring Tequila Mockingbird. Since that time I have continued to release a large amount of music both as a solo artist (Re: dux tion, subduxtion and FluiD) and collaborator (with Black Saturn, Selbst-Morder and John 3:16) on various independent labels around the world. Encompassing a multitude of styles and influences - techno, jazz, noise, classical avant-garde, hip-hop, psychedelia, metal, dub, early industrial and ambient. As a remixer I have manipulated and re-constructed songs for Ganymede, Fr/action, Heat From A Deadstar, Blood Into Water, One Dead Fuck, Worms of the Earth and DisinVectant.
"Industrial Disease" is a new dark ambient/experimental material wich contains 10 songs! Theme of this album are atomic,biological and chemical effects on human body! Also,theme is based on imagined emotions of people who were exposed to radiation and other chemicals and poison gases! When we see some of people who were exposed and infected,we look at them with disgust! But,try to imagine yourself that you can be also infected,and maybe your baby will call "freak"! Progress can be very expensive! Cover art by Pugy Designs (photoshop by P.D. and photoshoot by Narayan)!
thanks man!! glad you like the Wounds blog. Christian Wright (bajskorv, savage ideal) and I are working really hard to get Wounds going again and make it better than ever. Also, yeah I'm doing a tad of DJing. I DJed before I made music so it's nice to do it every once in a blue moon. Since the damn WOTE album is taking longer than expected to get out, I'm getting ready to release a new GITC in the meantime. Once archive. org cooperates it will be ready to go.
Congrats yourself on continuing to release tracks on a million comps and of course all your subduxtion work!
Fist Fucking Armageddon : Serenity OUT NOW! 52minutes of 'SADO BLACK NOISE FOR SUICIDAL MASO PEOPLE' "Following the acclaimed "latnem noitarseced" on "Le Mal Dominant" compilation last year, this French project now delivers a 8-tracker full of insanity and gruesome manners. Metal, ritualistic noise, tortured screams, bizarre black and white imagery and influences taken from underground cinema,FFA has a unique personality disorder. Incl. a Depeche Mode cover with additional synth work by Camisole. Ltd 100" R.Doktor.
Hey thanks man!! It sounds a lot better without the shitty myspace compression too, lol. new album will be out soon...I'm just waiting for the other band to tell me he is ok with my mastering. Then after that we're going to work on finishing all these trip hop pieces I've written. What's going on with you man?
