Tony Buck
Tony Buck, born in Sydney in 1962, is an Australian drummer and percussionist, best known as one third of The Necks, the trio with Chris Abrahams and Lloyd Swanton that since 1987 has built hour-long improvised pieces from a single pulse or figure, slowly, until the music seems to play itself. He graduated from the New South Wales Conservatorium and came up through the Australian jazz scene before moving to Berlin in the 1990s. There he has played with everyone from the improvisers of the Echtzeit scene to the guitarist Kletka Red and the trio Peril with Otomo Yoshihide, and his solo records and installations extend the same patience to guitar, electronics and objects.
