  • Bio

    .... Go to michaeldurek.com for updates, happenings, weird performances, etc. .. -Mike .... .. Cloud Cloud .. .... Cloud Cloud is musical group organized by Michael Durek. Their music is a blend of motivic instrumental sequences and spontaneous experimental explosions. For each performance, they offer something fresh and new. The music may contain drone notes, different tunings, and looping elements that are reminiscent of La Monte Young or Philip Glass. These hypnotic textural elements are at-times infused with chaos and a touch of humor in the vein of John Zorn. Cloud Cloud makes use of vintage keyboards, theremin, upright bass, electronic elements, guitars and an assortment of other percussive and melodic instruments. .. .. ..The SK Orchestra .. .. Also check out the SK Orchestra .. The SK Orchestra creates experimental soundscapes and performs other ambient compositions using mostly vintage Casio SK series keyboards. These keyboards are simple, yet versatile. They continue to be widely used in the experimental music community. We will not merely use the keyboards for their tones, which are desirable in their own right, but rather to utilize the full capabilities of the SK series keyboards. Such capabilities include: Real-time sampling, 4-note polyphony, a looping function, and more. The project is about transcending limitations and recycling old technology. By exploiting the simple functions available on the Sk keyboards, we breathe new life into old equipment, and show that "newer" does not necessarily mean "better". ...... .. We love collaboration. Musicians, videographers, poets, artists, dancers. If you're interested, do send a note. .... ..Current projects: ...... The indie folk-rock group ..Copesetic.. .... Experimental sound-scapes of .. Post Abortion Stress (PAS)...... The (Casio) ..SK Orchestra ......
