Buck is a member of The Necks and leader of Peril, who he formed in Japan with Otomo Yoshihide and Kato Hideki, and astroPeril. He also formed the short lived L'Beato in the early 1990s, an industrial-oriented outfit reminiscent of Tackhead, which released one EP "The Piston Song".
Rich in texture and colour, the music shifts like tectonic plates of varying density, moving through soundscapes that are both intricate and complex: fragile and transparent.
TonyBuck, drummer from The Necks and Axel Dörner, one of the leading trumpet stylists in the world today, have been working together in a duo setting for some time and have performed at prestigious festivals in Germany, the Czech Republic and Switzerland.
This is, however, their first release together, and presents their trumpet, percussion and electronic sounds in one unique and striking 40 minute piece.
TonyBuck was born in Sydney (near the eastern edge of Australia) in 1962.
TonyBuck's percussive work is a marvellously sustained blur of skin-and-metal tinkering, constantly inventive as he explores timbre, texture and tension at a frightening rate.
Buck describes the trio's avowed approach in a sleeve note and, as it happens, he's exactly right: the trio's music is busy and compacted, but also operates with the overall effect of a vast, slowly moving plate of sound.
