Anonymocracy – Thank You!

A massive thanks to everyone who was involved with or came to shows on my recent ‘Anonymocracy’ tour. Was great to play in Brisbane, Melbourne, Sydney, Canberra, Adelaide and Perth; and in between complete work on the third Anonymeye studio album (with the wonderful Cornel Wilczek producing, mixing and mastering).

Currently having a bit of time off with no shows currently booked, and doing some album prep and other things. Currently seeking a home for the new album, so if you’re a label that is interested in having a listen, get in touch. In the meantime, I’m going to be reworking my live set, other exciting adventures, and enjoying the marvelous Brisbane winter.

EOFY update!

New audio

Three new downloads available
1. ‘Micronations’ mix – featured on Triple J’s Sound Lab on 20 June – now available for free download. 30 minute mix including new Anonymeye works in progress, collaborations, remixes as well as bits and pieces of other songs I’ve been digging lately from Mike Cooper, Charlie Parr, Oneohtrix Point Never, Captain Ahab and more.
2. ‘Phase Two‘ – A work I recorded for the sound&fury label, which was released as a limited edition 3″ CDR in late 2007.
3. Hold Yuh – A cover of the track by Gyptian – if Major Lazer, Nicki Minaj, and Los Rakas can get in on it, why not Anonymeye? One take improvisation.

Tour blog

I’ve started up a bit of a tour blog – I’ll be touring around Australia in July, with a week of working on new Anonymeye material at Electric Dreams Studio in the middle of that. Obviously at this stage, still being in Brisbane, not a great deal, but we’ll see if anything comes of this anyway.

Sale!

For the next couple of days, to clear some stock and to rustle up some extra money for touring, I’ve reduced the price for my last album ‘The Disambiguation Of Anonymeye’ to $10AUD (including postage worldwide) – available only from here.

ANONYMEYE – ANONYMOCRACY 2010 TOUR

Anonymeye (Brisbane)

‘Anonymocracy 2010’ Australian tour

Anonymeye is the nom de plume of Andrew Tuttle from Brisbane, Australia. As Anonymeye, Tuttle reconfigures various country and folk musics within an abstract sonic framework, utilising electronic and acoustic instrumentation including acoustic guitar, signal processing, synthesisers, harmonica, and oscillators. Anonymeye straddles and blurs boundaries between improvisation and composition, experimentation and pop, acoustic and electronic, rural landscapes and urban landscapes.

Since 2004, Anonymeye has performed at festivals, clubs and events throughout Australia, New Zealand and Europe, and released recordings on labels including sound&fury, Bedroom Suck, hellosQuare and Curt.

Anonymocracy 2010, facilitated with the invaluable financial assistance of Sound Travellers, sees Anonymeye performing in six cities nationwide throughout June and July.

R.I.P Adam D. Mills

Received the saddening word earlier this evening that Adam D. Mills, operator of the sound&fury label and a positive and mentoring influence on both myself and Anonymeye, passed away earlier this week.

Through the past few years I’d regularly talked back and forth with Adm, and always found him to be a passionate and inspiring person to talk to about music. His ongoing support of the sounds I’d made always meant so much to me, particularly in moments where I’d felt de-motivated about what I was making. I’ve been listening to sound&fury releases this evening, and other sounds recommended to me by Adm, and it reiterates the driving belief he had in music. Adm and I didn’t know each other well outside music, but I’d like to think that the ongoing relationship between us as sound&fury and Anonymeye meant as much to him as it did to me.

My condolences are with ADM’s family and friends. I’m sure there are a lot of people who are as muddled for words and as truly, genuinely sad as I am right now. Rest in peace, pal.

Andrew
