For those of you into the apollolaan releases or stuff on Singing Knives....
"Akke Phallus Duo is the one-year-old configuration of Jon marshall (The Hunter Gracchus, Le Drapeau Noir, Singing Knives Records, Vampire Blues) and Ben Morris (Chora, Le Drapeau Noir). Since meeting in 2005, their sonic paths have crossed most notably in the octet Le Drapeau Noir. Apart from guesting in each other’s mainstay projects they had yet to play as a duo.
AP Started as a process of exchange and abandonment of authorship, they swapped recordings, the only rule being the recipient can do whatever the sound inspires in them to do. The gathering of material has taken them through many solo improvisations with broken instruments (subsequently deconstructed and reconstructed), on acousmatic poaching trips to Italy and Croatia, vocal/running/recording endurances through Peckham at night, and absurdly basking in the heat/sonic waves of an upturned US military tank in static motion…
They have since communally honed a series of recorded compositions. Terroir pissoir is their first release...the first Phase."
