Strategy's Paul Dickow has been a longtime cornerstone
player in Portland, Oregon's electronic and experimental
music community. He was once a drummer in the punk
group Emergency, a keyboard player in jazz/post-rock's
Fontanelle, played drums and electronics in Nudge, DJs
eclectic disco and techno sets, and also remixes and
produces dancefloor bangers as well as ambient, abstract
pop expressions under his solo moniker Strategy.
He has built up a name releasing acclaimed albums for
Kranky and 12"s for labels such as ORAC (Seattle) and
Dreck (London) and also by founding the premier Cascadian
freedom music record label known as Community Library.
For years Paul and Audio Dregs have been comrades and
collaborators and now we are proud to bring you his latest
offering that collects Strategy's rain-soaked chillout recordings
and slow motion filtered dubscapes. These are the tracks
rescued from the mornings after the dance parties and longer
compositions collected from his studio in moss covered corners
of green Cascadian forest caverns.
"Music for Lamping contains six years' worth of music that can
roughly be called ambient - perhaps "meditative" is a better word.
All of this music combines my interest in blurring/expanding/
clouding processes--such as granular synthesis, vocoding, and
bucket-brigade delay--with happenstance sound sources, such
as field recordings or a favorite record sitting around the studio.
The earliest music dates to a 2002 CD that was never released,
entitled Strategy At Beacon Rock, which was intended as a 'gentle'
or 'atmospheric' treatment of plundered audio.
The material from 2004 onwards dates to a period of soundwalks
in my neighborhood of Northwest Portland (a perfect strolling zone).
Taken altogether, these pieces form a traceable thread through
my work where I use my usual raw materials to reach a more
liquid, spontaneous end result." -Paul Dickow
