ANONYMEYE – THE DISAMBIGUATION OF ANONYMEYE

sound&fury, CD, 2009

release date: 18 May, 2009

Named in honour of John Fahey, Mariah Carey, Wikipedia or all three, The Disambiguation of Anonymeye is the second full-length album from Brisbane experimental artist Anonymeye (aka Andrew Tuttle), and his first since 2006’s Anonymeye Hotel (Half/theory). In the interim, almost three years have seen scores of performances throughout Australia and Europe as well as featuring a slew of releases including limited edition CD-Rs, 7” records and compilation appearances on labels including sound&fury, Feral Media, Curt, and hellosQuare.

Inspired by the cities of Brisbane, Melbourne and Rotterdam, relocations, micronations, airports and new beginnings, The Disambiguation Of Anonymeye sees Tuttle add a variety of vintage synthesisers from the ARP, Putney, Korg and Roland stables to his signature blend of delicately fingerpicked bluegrass via country guitar motifs and alternately minimalist and punishing signal processing and electro-acoustic body of work.

Disambiguation is a combination of compositions and edited improvisations, created throughout 2008 in home studios in Brisbane and Melbourne, as well as encompassing the results of a residency at the Centre for Electronic Music studio at Rotterdam’s iconic artist run initiative WORM.

From the layered neo-folk of ‘Hill Loop’ and ‘Janitor Of Luna Park’ to the punishing analogue electro-acoustic manipulations of ‘Memorandum 2’ and the processed guitar and synthesiser collaborations of ‘High Tea At Achterhaven’, Disambiguation is startling in breadth and utterly immersive in depth. Fans of Jack Rose and John Fahey are just as likely to find something they love about this album as those obsessed with the microsound explorations of Fennesz and Keith Fullerton Whitman.

Although primarily the work of Tuttle, The Disambiguation Of Anonymeye also features musical contributions by Cameron Webb of Seaworthy and Tim Condon of Mirrored Silver Sea, and was mastered by Cornel Wilczek of Qua.

Having worked with Tuttle previously on the Phase Two 3” CD-R, sound&fury records is proud to present the next phase in the continual evolution of Anonymeye.

The Disambiguation of Anonymeye will be released on May 18th and available to be pre-ordered now through sound&fury (www.soundandfury.com.au). The first 50 orders placed through this website will also receive a copy of De Jure Recognition, an exclusive 3" CD-R featuring four exclusive new Anonymeye tracks, including collaborations with ii and Marisa Allen.
