Artist:	DUCA, CURD
Title:	Elevator
Label:	MILLE PLATEAUX (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MP 047CD

"New album after the success of his compilation series Easy Listening Vol. 1-5 and the transformation of Richard Wagner sounds on Switched On Wagner. This new release is not hi concept art, it is electronic mood music for listening or even electronic cool jazz and it is more complex than the Easy listening series. Elevator also contains the effort to build up rhythm without drum machine and sampled grooves and the samples are not integrated in a rhythmical framework. Every sample used by Curd Duca's music has its own quality and sounds totally different in the original context. It is about sounds and textures and Curd Duca's music stands for the purity of timbre. Important are not the cultural context and some significant associations, every sample has its own rhythm and timbre combined with metallic 'Rauschen' and low frequency basslines. The tracks on Elevator cannot be separated ?- they are creating a beautiful context. Elevator shows Curd Duca as the perfect cut-up artist."

Title:	Elevator 2
Label:	MILLE PLATEAUX (GERMANY)
Format:	CD
Price:	$15.00
Catalog #:	MP 066CD

"Subtitled 'electro acoustic mood music', Duca´s new Elevator album transcends the style he once established in his Easy Listening series. Starting with one of his trademark psychedelic tracks, it soon veers off into uncharted territories of digital explosion, non-metric pulses, jazzy cut-ups and mindblowing transitions-executed with a casual precision that makes even the most experimental tracks highly listenable. Curd Duca's music is at once lavish and parsimonious, synthetic and soulful. He is able to put his hands on a piece of chrome and make it radiate with warmth. Elevator 2 airy and elegant, at times rough and scratchy and off the scale: It is quite a journey."
