Kenneth James Gibson is a man of many personas. Keeping up with him can be a time consuming, yet rewarding venture into sound. As soon as you think you know him and can grasp what’s going on, he puts on yet another mask and becomes something else. Always a surprise and never a let down, he gives us what we want but don’t expect. A rare stone in today’s musical climate, Ken is rolling and collects no moss.
Ken’s first recordings were as the guitarist, singer, part time keyboardist and producer of the 90’s indi rock band Furry Things. He slowly grew tired of being in a “band” and started producing a slew of electronic mish mash on his own as Eight Frozen Modules. Starting out with a guitar, half broken sampler (given to him by King Coffee of the legendary Texas band The Butthole Surfers), a drum machine, borrowed synths and a four track, Ken laid down an off kilter mix of electro, abstract hip hop, dub and techno.
In 1997, Ken moved from Austin Texas to the big city of Los Angeles, California. After releasing a few records as Eight Frozen Modules on various labels such as Trance Syndicate and City Slang, he gave up the 4 track and guitar for a desktop computer and software. While taking a few years off from releasing music, he learned how to create a new world in the land of computers. After 3 years of not leaving his padded studio cell, he resurfaced with the 2001 Eight Frozen Modules CD “Random Activities and Broken Sunsets”, on the LA label, Phthalo. Since then, he has also released music under the names [a]pendics.shuffle, The Premature Wig, dubLoner, Electronic Music Composer, Reverse Commuter and Bal Cath for such labels such as Kit Claytons Orthlorng Musork, Orac, Tigerbeat 6, Skor, Planet-Mu, Proptronix, Headinghome, Shockout, Narita, Zod, Mille Plateaux Media, and Jack Danger’s Tino Corp., just to name a few.
Currently Ken is living in Echo Park California and producing a ton of music. He has new releases about to drop on Orac, Disco Inc , Plataeux Resistance, Planet-Mu, Skor, and g25/Very Friendly. He is also collaborating with the likes of Jack Dangers of Meat Beat Manifesto on a project called Hiss and Buzz, Kean from Circus Company on a project called Token, Brian McBride of Stars Of The Lid on a new ambient project and will also be collaborating with Kool Keith on an upcoming dubLoner track. He has also just started his own label with Orac founder Konstantin Gabbro, called Adjunct. With Adjunct they will be releasing what they call “computer funk”, their own special brand of funky avant-garde techno.
Does all this you just read make sense? Maybe not in your world, but in Ken’s world it’s just another day.
