Philip Jeck, who lives and works in Liverpool, studied visual art at the Dartington College of Arts in Devon, England. During the early 1980s, he drifted from painting and sculpture to music, and began working with old and discarded turntables. Though he's roughly a contemporary of Christian Marclay, recognition for Jeck came much later, beginning in 1993 with his massive installation "Vinyl Requiem," which incorporated 180 record players and multiple film projections. This is Philip Jeck's seventh solo album, after "Loopholes" (1996), "Surf" (1998), and "Stoke" (2002). He has also released a collaboration with Jacob Kirkegaard, "Soaked" (2002), and a recording of a live concert he gave in Japan, Live at ICC (2001). He is currently touring with Jah Wobble & Deep Space, and is heavily featured on their latest album, "Five Beat"(30hertzrecords, 2003).
