morc records - drekka

'Haunting beauty and disturbing menace, at times folky and lo-fi, at others ambient and industrial but at all times fractured, buzzing and distorted. Imagine the mad sonic sound sculptures that have made Nurse With Wound key suppliers (along with Omit) of soundtracks for nightmares and mix that with pastoral folk drones along the FSA axis and you'll at least partly grasp what sort of dark atmosphere Anderson is going for.'
-- the broken face magazine

a very selective overview of what Michael Anderson (mr. Drekka) has done apart from being in drekka:
- running the Bluesanct label, releasing records by low, minmae, iditarod, darryl leigh blood, justin vollmar,rivulets...
- is/was a member of turn pale, the stuffings, vir, lovesliecrushing...
- collaborating in some way or another with with godheadsilo, vollmar, jessica bailiff, racebannon, static films...
- remixed soul junk and racebannon

Q: - What's the most accurate description you've heard of Drekka?
Drekka: - My friend Thax Douglas, a noted poet in Chicago, once told me that he liked to listen to Drekka with the windows open in his small apartment which is right by a busy intersection. He liked how the music changed every time, depending on the time of day & amount of traffic outside. Another person told me at a show that he kept trying to concentrate on the show, but found himself staring at the ceiling thinking about something he hadn't ever thought about before. Both of those are nice descriptions. -- QRD magazine
