Peter Wright |
|||||||
| Without
doubt Peter Wright was the single most important contributor to kRkRkRk
from the time of its inception, in 1992, up until late 1997 when he disengaged
from the label to pursue more specialized interests under the mantle of
his own Apoplexy label.
Not only did Peter co-found kRkRkRk (with J-mz Robinson), he was also instrumental in the organisation & promotion of the label - a role in which he is still most active! His willingness to contribute technical expertise & equipment encouraged many of kRkRkRk's current artists to enter the world of home recording. Peter's own recordings, created in the 1990-97 period, comprise some of the most impressive & original music ever released by the label. Superficially similar, in style & mood to the comtemporaneous TMA-1, leonard Nimoy & Vaccine projects, Peter's solo recordings, nevertheless, bore the distinctive stamp of his personality - being deeply personal & introspective. They also reveal an affinity for the classic New Zealand music produced by the Xpressway label & early Flying Nun bands such as the Skeptics & This Kind Of Punishment. Although Peter's music considerably diverged from these sources (advancing into more international sounding industrial/ambient & folk-noir territories), the passion for home recording would remain a common denominator.
