Curd Duca
Curd Duca is an Austrian musician, composer and producer of electronic music.
Life and work
Duca has played ","8 ODER 9 / 8 OR 9" and "Skin". Starting in 1992, he has been working mainly on solo projects with electronic instruments.Duca is known for his work with audio samples that are altered, cut-up and "re-contextualised". The audio is taken from analog sources and mostly used without beats. Rhythmic structures are created, originally by loops, more recently by micro-cuts and improvisation with parameters of "granular synthesis". From 1996, Duca's albums were released on the experimental/techno label Mille Plateaux.
20 years later, the German label Magazine rediscovered Duca, releasing his "Waves" trilogy between 2020 and 2022.
