Junkerry
is taking a different path to many musicians, she collaborates with visual artists and tech companies to create contemporary music based art projects.

The Junkerry ethos is to merge artistic disciplines and genres, to experiment boldly so each project stretches the imagination and process of everyone involved.

Junkerry is currently one of only a handful of artists who performs live using voice, electric guitar and live computers with tailored Max msp patches and Ableton Live. A counter culture artist with a growing cult following. Junkerry, composes, writes and produces everything at her simple converted monastery studio in the South of France.

Born in Paris, she lived in India for 8 years studying Indian Classical singing - this influence allows her to sing in English, French, and Hindi. Since returning to Europe Junkerry has been creating genre bending projects. Collaborations have included Royal Collage Of Art, Google Tilt, Room One VR and IRCAM, and in 2016 she created the world's first art-inspired 360 virtual reality music video with London illustrator Patrick Morgan. Her latest music/film project ‘Miss Baker’s Ride’ was nominated at Los Angeles Film Festival, and for NASA Cine Space 2017 Best Short Film, the only music video ever nominated!

The Story Of “Miss Baker’s Ride”:
After a decade of losing monkeys and falling behind USSR in the race for space. Miss Baker, a small squirrel monkey and Abel a rhesus monkey, were launched into space in 1959, they became the first primates to return alive! Paving the way for President Kennedy to push for future space exploration, - sadly Abel died 4 days later. Miss Baker lived as a heroine until the ripe old age of 27 becoming not only the first monkey to return from space but also the oldest living squirrel monkey on record.

The film is a contemporary graphic novel - using Japanese calligraphy as its inspiration along with current VR film techniques. Its combined with original footage from NASA's achieve, so we get to see the super cute little Miss Baker…J

SYNKRO & ROBOT KOCH REMIXES:


Synkro's ambient bass led rework of 'Blood', details texture whilst obliging his signature production technique. After the success of his 2015 album 'Changes' Synkro joins Pegdoll to remix Ecuador's 'Blood'.

Robot Koch lays down atmospheric melodies, intertwined with a back to the future electronic sound. Accentuating Bo Bruce vocals and adding the Robot Koch style.

Synkro has released music on R&S Records, Houndstooth and Brownswood. Robot Koch is a Red Bull Music Academy alumni, has previously remixes and collaborated with Tensnake, Norah Jones and Max Richter. Described by Dazed and Confused as 'A galactic aesthetic of ten ton beats and space age melodies'

EQUADOR:

 

Singer Bo Bruce and producer / musician Henry Binns met whilst working on tracks for what would become Bo's top ten debut album in 2013, and immediately hit it off as a writing duo. In 2015 the pair holed up in the Zero 7 studio, Henry being one half of that hugely popular Mercury nominated group, writing and recording early versions of what would become the new album by Equador.


Musician friends dropped by and added touches of inspiration and occasional production wizardry, most notably hiatus and Jodi Milliner, who contributed to most tracks on the record.

The result is an album of extraordinary beauty, taking Bo's distinctive voice, and fusing it with a unique sound that combines elements of 90's down-tempo ambience coupled with the haunting sound of 60's mellotron and wurlitzers.

First fruit of the album comes on July 1st in the form of the stunning double A side Bones of Man / Blood, the latter track already having clocked up strong support from fan bases of both artists when a video was released in the Spring. The album, Bones Of Man, is released in September on Pegdoll Records.
