Flesh of Fruit

$24.00

Flesh of Fruit is the debut collaboration from Chicago sound artists Hunter Diamond and Allen Moore. Free improvisation and experimental electronics engage reflective nostalgia, creating a sound collage equally at home in a free jazz club, art gallery, or underground noise show.

Hunter Diamond – woodwinds, drums, percussion, sampler, electronics

Allen Moore – hand-casted records, turntable, electronics

Limited edition LP pressed at the solar-powered Audiodrome in Gainesville, FL. The LP comes in a 100% compostable protective sleeve, and features original artwork by Allen Moore.

Note for physical media buyers: Though the digital album is divided into 12 separate tracks, each side of the LP plays continuously with no track divisions. Our intention is for the music to be heard as two uninterrupted sound pieces that simply contain consecutive titled segments without interruption.

HUNTER DIAMOND is a creative woodwind and sound artist living and performing in Chicago. A mixture of conceptual, composed, and improvised work keep him fully embedded in the Chicago creative arts community. He is a multifaceted instrumentalist with a long collaborative streak. He regularly creates new work with Black Diamond (co-led with Artie Black), poet-spoken work artist Marvin Tate, story-teller Sam Lewis, movement artist Irene Hsiao, Moldovan vocalist Ana Everling, indie rock artist Hannah Frances, bassist/composer Matt Ulery, saxophonist/composer Sarah Clausen, Chicago rock/funk band Radio Outernational. He also released a six-volume recording project called Metal and Wood which features duets with drummers in Chicago and New Orleans.

ALLEN MOORE is a Black interdisciplinary visual artist, experimental turntablist, sound artist, educator and youth mentor from Robbins, Illinois, near Chicago’s South Side. His work converses with the signifiers of African-American culture. At the heart of his practice is graphite, which he often uses in his drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Working with this material in his visual work led him to hand casting records with graphite, creating warped mirrors of old soul records. These graphite records serve as the foundation for sound art pieces and live performances with Moore using up to four turntables to create collages of hypnotic textures and rhythms that resonate like hymns of fractured nostalgia.
