Drumsolo's Delight is the second album Paul Dickow has made under the
name Strategy. Dickow was an fan of synth-pop who simultaneously learned
to play keyboards, the drums and program. He went on to drum in the art
punk outfit Emergency, play keyboards in Fontanelle and multiple
instruments in Nudge. Strategy wires together Dickow's programming and
performing experience via a hodgepodge of table top electronics,
computers and realtime musicianship. Combining a granular ambient
aesthetic with an abstract, percolating rhythmic sensibility, Strategy
unites small parts into complete melodies motivated by complex
pulsations. The Portland Mercury described Dickow as "Portland's laptop
prankster/meister of disquo."
Paul Dickow has been performing and DJing at dance clubs, rock clubs,
dance parties and galleries up and down the West Coast. He releases
music on his Archigramophone imprint and curates monthly Community
Library nights at the Dunes club in Portland. Strategy has released
dance singles (with Seattle's ORAC label), remixes and a debut album,
Strut, on the Portland-based Outward Music label in summer 2003.
Drumsolo's Delight weds the subtle rhythmic promise of the early work
anthologized on Strut with a discreet ambience. The album flirts with
the tensions of hyper-modern digital vastness on one hand, and the
gritty immediacy of live dub mixing on the other. Drumsolo's Delight
moves towards the points of overlap between rhythm and cloudiness-
reaching towards the grey area where sounds share active and passive
characteristics. Drumsolo's Delight is Strategy's most thematic work to
date, and aside from the technical syntheses achieved in the studio, the
album is an accurate snapshot of several years' of work creating music
concerned with geography/place, people, memory, and weather.
