OCDC

ocdc is the musical pseudonym of pianist, noise and occasional avant-pop musician Rory Dickenson. The project started as noise and tape loop collage with the release of the 2007 album 'Ghost Tapes' on seminal British label Alt-Vinyl. From a little attic room in Newcastle Upon Tyne, he flew to Prague. There, whilst working as a theatre usher, he discovered a connection and a love for improvising on hallway pianos while audiences waited for their plays to begin. Following up on a string of lo-fi non-classical releases, he is currently working on a debut vinyl, scheduled for release in early 2014. The album, and his current live set, explore themes of prepared piano, pianola, field recordings and Detroit Techno arpeggiators repurposed to produce rolling clouds of decaying sound.
