Curd Duca

Curd Duca (born 14 March 1955) is an Austrian musician, composer and producer of electronic music.

Duca has played (1982–1991) in the experimental groups "Auch wenn es seltsam klingen mag / even though it may sound strange)","8 ODER 9 / 8 OR 9" and "Skin" (accordion, guitar, vocals, percussion).

[1] Starting in 1992, he has been working mainly on solo projects with electronic instruments (analog and digital synthesizers, computer).

The audio is taken from analog sources (acoustic instruments, orchestras, vocals, noise, bird calls, et al.) and mostly used without beats.

Rhythmic structures are created, originally by loops, more recently by micro-cuts and improvisation with parameters of "granular synthesis".
