Throcke

Throcke is the solo effort of Christopher Mollineaux Carson, a Brooklyn based musician. Though primarily known as a drummer (current projects include The Richard Wagner International School for Girls) he also finds inspiration in other instruments, and things that might not be considered instruments at all. Kitchen appliances and street noises are swirled in with synths, guitars, and abstract vocals, layered in an intricate groove. The resulting moods can be reminiscent of some sort of retro video game, or a soothing daydream, or a traditional West African mallet ensemble. But always there are clever intertwining melodies. In the all-too-often repetitive world of electronic music. Throcke is a refreshing and challenging new voice.
