subduxtion 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. 2000 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.

"Ancient Kingdom" is a metaphorical place where innovation collide's with golden era hip-hop. As Black Saturn vs. subduxtion embark on a journey with their first full length project; creating their own dimension in space and time. With the wordsound of Black Saturn's thoughts in meditation evolving over subduxtion's sound pulsations of advancing cerebral enlightenment, a metaphysical undercurrent flows thru out "Ancient Kingdom". Black Saturn's vocals take on the characteristic's of a scribe from a lost civilization. Prophetic and forewarning moments abound. The past, the present and the future become one's life experience. The archaeology of subduxtion's sonic vision unearths a timeless sound. Like the royal lineage of an African kingdom ignored by history, "Ancient Kingdom" is the phoenix rising from the ashes that demands to be heard.
