CARPEDUKE
rock, pop, experimental, progressive, weird, gothic, metal, alternative, electronica
a collaboration between "carpeduke" (German) and American producer ron gardner. carpeduke has written and recorded three albums full of interesting and original music. he is fluent in six different languages and uses this talent to sing and write in different languages in order to give his music a world wide appeal. he feels that not only are the words and notes important, but also the sound of different languages adds to the colour of the music. he has taken the different musical influences of his past and combined them into a new musical style of his own. carpeduke.'s first album "carpe diem" is a pure rock album packed with strange melodies and elements. carpeduke brings interesting melodic lines and often twisted lyrics to the album. the second album "one day" expands his rock into the electronic world with more experimentation and modern grooves. carpeduke's unique sense of melody and abstract lyrics expressing his black humor are also offered here. we like to call this album's style (if you have to label something) rock-electronica.
conquer the world" is his third release and most certainly will not be the last. american producer, ron gardner, has been working together with carpeduke for the past 3 years. he believes in the direction of the music striving to capture the soul of the artist and to bridge the gaps between different styles of music.
