Andrew Pekler
Faitiche / Live Set*
His subsequent relocation to Berlin brought with it new contacts. Among them, Scape Records who requested a track for the 'Staedtizism 2' compilation. The mutual interest eventually resulted in 'Station To Station', Andrew Pekler's first full-length under his own name.2004 saw Pekler back in the studio recording his second album /Nocturnes, False Dawns & Breakdowns/. The press response was extremely positive, with publications ranging from 'The Wire' to 'Spex' to 'TAZ' praising his fresh approach to sampling and improvisation. In 2005 'Strings & Feedback’ was released on Staubgold to critical acclaim.
In his free time at home, using a simple four-track tape machine, a keyboard and a mattress for a bass drum he worked on short instrumental sketches musically somewhere between Money Mark and Curd Duca. In 1998 Source Records released Sad Rockets' (the name Pekler gave this project) debut album 'Plays' to international acclaim.2000 saw the release of Sad Rockets' 'Once Upon A Time Called Now' on Morbid (sub-label of Vienna's Cheap Records), and the album 'Transition' on US indie Matador. Sad Rockets' first first live gigs in the Spring of 2001 took Pekler and friends around much of Europe before the tour's successful conclusion at the Sonar Festival in Barcelona.
Andrew Pekler traces his roots to early jazz/electronica experiments, toying with subtle traces of funk, transformed remnants of Berlin urban dub, and raw found sounds that build up and dissolve in angular spaces of sliding atonal melodies. His first album under the name of Andrew Pekler is an intriguing take on the man/machine interplay with a cold alien groove of midnight jazz café reemerging in the world of clicks and bleeps. An atmosphere of free-spirited jazz improvisation entering the world of clicks + cuts.Andrew Pekler's musical biography begins in Monterey, California. There he spent his high school years listening to Slayer and the Velvet Underground, learning the secrets of the electric guitar and playing in various bands. Next station, Heidelberg, Germany 1995, where Andrew found himself working in a record store and exploring alternatives to his guitar-based teenage socialization. Soon he was involved in various musical projects; as guitarist and singer in garage rock/noise combo Mucus 2 and as multi-instrumentalist in pop/electronica band Bergheim 34 (Klang Electronic).
