Flesh of Fruit (New LP)

Label: Curio Records

Flesh of Fruit is the debut collaboration from Chicago sound artists Hunter Diamond and Allen Moore. Free improvisation and experimental electronics converge, creating a sound collage equally at home in a free jazz club, art gallery, or underground noise show. With an array of woodwinds, drums, percussion, samplers, turntables, and electronics, Flesh of Fruit taps into a crackling nostalgic space full of hazy memories, frenetic dreams, and ardent yearnings. HUNTER DIAMOND is a creative woodwind and sound artist living and performing in Chicago. A mixture of conceptual, composed, and improvised work keep him fully embedded in the Chicago creative arts community. He is a multifaceted instrumentalist with a long collaborative streak. He regularly creates new work with Black Diamond (co-led with Artie Black), poet-spoken word artist Marvin Tate, story-teller Sam Lewis, movement artist Irene Hsiao, Moldovan vocalist Ana Everling, indie rock artist Hannah Frances, bassist/composer Matt Ulery, saxophonist/composer Sarah Clausen, Chicago rock/funk band Radio Outernational. He also released a six-volume recording project called Metal and Wood which features duets with drummers in Chicago and New Orleans.
