Title Description:
2001 marks the the emergence from hibernation of bourbonese qualk. A group who originated in the uk in the early 1980s and remained at the forefront of experimental music in europe for the next decade.
Bourbonese qualk were never a purely electronic band, but incorporated "traditional" acoustic instruments and musical forms alongside computers and synthesisers. From 1983 to 1993, bourbonese qualk released their work on their own labels 'recloose organisation' and 'new international' (as well as releasing works by other artists such as muslimgauze ) and toured extensively throughout europe, eastern europe and the usa.
Bourbonese qualk were known for their anarchist political views and involvement in events such as the 'stop the city' and trafalgar riots in london and the underground political scene in eastern europe before the fall of the berlin wall.
Always an independent band, using music, video, print, bourbonese qualk were one of the most original players in uk underground music scene of the eighties. The group disappeared from view in 1993 after releasing 'autonomia' a cd with ultra heavy, almost 'gabber' like music on the new label 'praxis' and stopping all public performances. After that things came to almost a full stop, seeing the band members involved in various other projects.
Bourbonese qualk are back and it sounds like they were never away. 'on uncertainty' is their new studio album, displaying their skills with ambient like guitar pieces, funky beat driven electronic rhythmical soundscapes - sketches with noise. Bourbonese Qualk after two decades remain true to their original sound.
