Over the years, Taylor Deupree has worked on a considerable measure of projects in music and multimedia system. With each musical project he takes on, his shows a different production side of himself, from ambient sounds to arduous drumfish machine-controlled techno. In the early to late '90s, he was region of the acid techno mathematical group Prototype 909. This trio's sound can be strongly associated with the former rave style of flying beatniks and sharp, tweaking, malformed noises. It is through and through his relationship with Prototype 909 that Deupree reinforced a strong affiliation with a drum machine; hence the sobriquet Taylor 808. During Prototype 909's rise to rave popularity, he made clip to explore his ambient side. SETI, a cast with Savvas Ysatis, and Deupree's solo design, Human Mesh Dance, gave him a chance to explore calmer electronic avenues. Though he has released many deeds on uncounted labels, well-nigh of his work bathroom be base on Instinct and 12K Records, which is his own judge. Deupree is besides very involved in the artistic subculture that surrounds electronic euphony.
Based in Brooklyn, NY, Deupree's most widely known project is as one third of Prototype 909, a group that too included Dietrich Schoenemann and Jason "BPMF" Szostek. The group was most illustrious for their resilient performances and cogwheel, such as rare keyboards, drum machines, and refusal to consumption a DAT musician, holding prerecorded music. The band released quaternion full-length albums,
Acid Technology (Instinct, 1993),
Live 1993-1995 (Instinct, 1995),
Electronic transistor Rhythm (Instinct, 1995), and
United at the Head (Caipirinha, 1997). Prototype 909 dissolved in the later '90s, simply continues to figure out on projects unitedly and severally.
Deupree is likewise half of SETI, a couple named later on the research experiment to pick up wireless signals from aliens. A relative suggested the identify to Deupree for his output coalition with Savvas Ysatis (Omnicron), a longtime friend. Both Ysatis and Deupree wanted their music to reflect the modality of the project, which resulted in minimalistic and often observational sounds and samples. SETI put out trey full-length releases,
SETI (Inherent aptitude, 1993),
Pharos (Inherent aptitude, 1994), and
Ciphers (Inherent aptitude, 1996). Despite Deupree's worries concerning the consumption of the identify of the highly raw experimentation, scientists at the SETI Institute actually praised the distich for their work. For
Beacon light, the Institute gave the group intelligent samples from space and spoken interviews to consumption on the album. In 1996, Savvas and Deupree formed the judge Index, which only released one 12" EP with quaternary tracks from various artists, including Prototype 909's Dietrich Shoenemann. The record is now distributed by 12K Records.
In 1993, Deupree started his solo project, Human Mesh Dance. Unlike Prototype 909's knob-tweaking, classical techno intelligent, Human Mesh Dance allowed Deupree to render his softer, ambient side at the like time that Prototype 909's popularity was rising. His first full-length as Human Mesh Dance was
Hyaline (Inherent aptitude, 1993). In 1994, he followed with the full-length
Idea Flower, once more on Instinct.
Theseceretnumbertwelve was released in 1997 under very much applaud on 12K Records and marked a young point in Deupree's independence as a solo artist. 12K is based in New York and has released a slew of CDs, most in special editions of D or 1,000.
In 1997, Deupree teamed up with Ysatis once more and released the CD
Arc vs. Tiny Objects in Space under the corresponding name calling. In 1998, 12K released the CD Alphabet Flasher by Drum Komputer, a name Deupree and former Prototype 909 fellow worker Schoenemann consumption when they bring out together. That same yr, Deupree's solo project Comma came out in a special D release, a yr later a limited button with Richard Chartier called
Specification returned him to a paired-off effort. In April 2000, the album
.N was released, and in July, Deupree teamed with Tetsu Inoue for Active/Freeze. A calendar month later, the full-length album
Polr was released on Frank Bretschneider's German tag Raster Music.
Besides music, Deupree has had an artistic office in the electronic music culture. Instinct Records gave him an outlet for his exercise to be noticed when he took o'er as head graphic design creative person. Since his release from Instinct, he has been highly byzantine with Caipirinha Productions, the producers of the much-acclaimed electronic music objective
Modulations. Deupree worked on the visually based, futuristic photographic film
Synthetical Pleasures, where he took buck of the graphic aim work and contributed to both of the film's soundtracks. Making a bold shift in the direction of his sound, Deupree began to focal point more on textural elements with
Stil. in 2002. He as well began a full stop of punishing coaction, working with artists divers in range such as piano player Kenneth Kirschner, microsound guru Frank Bretschneider, atmospherical minimalist Richard Chartier, and guitar player Christopher Willits.
In 2004, Deupree launched the Happy embossment, the by-product of a dissatisfaction with the lack of right exposure to Japanese pop outside of Japan. 2005 found Deupree remixing such experimental music luminaries as Philip Glass and Ryuichi Sakamoto, as intimately as an album-length project of sound reconstruction for Japanese triple Eisi, entitled
Every Still Day. After several days of team-ups, in 2006, he returned to the console as a solo creative person and released the beautifully rough-textured
Northern, followed by a modified edition of experimental field of force recording samples, coroneted
1AM.
