Troy Pierceについて

Growing up in Indiana, right by the electronic hotspots of Detroit and Chicago, it’s no wonderTroy Pierce was infected with the dance music bug early on. Since then, he’s developed intoa pillar of the modern techno community thanks to world tours, live shows, albums and EPsunder a number of aliases and as part of more than one studio collective.“I like making and playing weird music for weird people - those WTF tracks that stick in yourhead as a sound from another dimension” says the man whose close association to technobastion Minus has earned him a deserved and revered reputation during the years since firstemerging. Looking ahead, though, it will be for his own label, Items & Things (co-run withfriends Magda and Marc Houle) that he is most known.Whilst the rejuvenated label will aim to break new talent and continue its run of undergroundand intimate Down & Out parties, Troy will also work on his own music. First there’ll be acollaborative effort with his new label mates; then a solo EP on I&T but, also, some freshmaterial from his much-lauded Louderbach alias in the coming months.The Troy Pierce sound is one which has constantly veered from dense, layered and abstractto stripped down, acid infused and pulsing. His sonic palette is one that draws on a widearray of influences and reaches far outside the confines of the studio and into an otherworldentirely. Fusing techno with minimalism, darkness with light and heaviness with rhythm, thisAmerican has never been afraid to experiment in the outer regions of his vast musicaluniverse.Despite an already impressive list of accolades to his name, Troy Pierce isn’t one to sit still.Keen as ever to confound your expectations, Items & Things, new Louderbach music and anumber of exciting collaborations are sure to do just that as he enters the next phase of hismusical evolution.
