Flesh of Fruit is the debut collaboration from Chicago sound artists Hunter Diamond and Allen Moore. They use free improvisation and experimental electronics to engage reflective nostalgia, creating a sound collage equally at home in a free jazz club, art gallery, or underground noise show.
Allen Moore is a Black interdisciplinary visual artist, experimental turntablist, sound artist, educator and youth mentor from Robbins, Illinois, near Chicago’s South Side. His work converses with the signifiers of African-American culture. At the heart of his practice is graphite, which he often uses in his drawings, paintings, and sculptures. Working with this material in his visual work led him to hand casting records with graphite, creating warped mirrors of old soul records. These graphite records serve as the foundation for sound art pieces and live performances with Moore using up to four turntables to create collages of hypnotic textures and rhythms that resonate like hymns of fractured nostalgia
