Electronic Music
Before I began working with the physical remains of digital culture, I worked with its sounds.
My electronic music grew out of machines, loops, fragments and live performance. During the late 1990s and early 2000s, I performed in Switzerland under the name Lucas Crusher, connected to the Biel/Bern underground scene and the New-Tronic Records environment.
The music collected here is part of that earlier layer of my practice: electronic structures, raw sounds, minimal patterns and archived traces from a time when digital culture was still strongly connected to hardware, records, cables and live machines.
The Lucas Crusher chronicals
Tonal Tuck EP is the most tangible trace of my Lucas Crusher years.
Released as a 12" vinyl on New-Tronic Records in Switzerland in 2001, it grew out of the live electronic music scene around Biel and Bern. The tracks move between minimal structures, abstract rhythms and raw machine-based sound.
Today, the EP survives as vinyl, as a later digital archive on Bandcamp, and as part of a fragmented memory of flyers, clubs and live performances. In that sense, it belongs naturally to my wider work with the remains of digital culture.
All tracks are available via Bandcamp. The Tonal Tuck EP is sometimes sold on Discogs
The Tonal Tuck EP was first released on May 12th 2001 during the Electronic Music Convention of Switzerland on New-Tronic Record Suisse.
Due to fragmentation and a hard drive crash all set lists, gig lists, etc. - are gone. If you have flyers please get in contact with me.
