Description: William A Ferguson: electronic percussion, bass, guitars, samples, synthesizers

Meeting, literally, on the streets of New York City almost 10 years ago, Niko Dalagelis (One Of Them) and Ryan Cavanagh (Slow Hands) combined to form their Duece Bigalow inspired Male Madame collaboration not long after.

Their mutual respect for all things Rob Scneider, and incredible admiration for fermented and distilled beverages might explain their limited discography. But that comes with no shortage of quality and variation in style. When not arguing over composition and theory (both of their studied fields), the two friends sporadically find the time between their solo pursuits to collectively craft music, Male Madame is just that.

And with that, we bring you Male Madame's first release of a two part series on Tigers on a Leash. Moving in a bit of a different direction after our last release, Sunny Saint Mark is going to keep things a little deeper. The smokey vocals and warm synths are perfect as we move into the winter here in NYC. With remixes by The Drifter and Cameo Culture rounding out the EP, this one's got a little something for the legs and for the brains.

Enjoy.

I have been thinking about it a lot and I have decided that DUFFDISCO007 is the last bootleg I am going to press to wax. It's been fun and I hope you all enjoyed them but I think it's the right time to stop. (you can order the last in the series here - http://www.juno.co.uk/ppps/products/450211-01.htm)

I do however want to continue re-imagining songs and giving my interpretation of them for you to play and listen to and so i'll be giving the reworks away for free. I have set up a donations page if anyone wanted to help with covering the costs of mastering future tracks as i'd still want the best sound possible as I can't afford to be paying for it all myself.

So keep an eye out for new tracks! donate whatever you feel appropriate, of course you can still download if you can't afford to donate.

Broken Record

Erkka - Dangerous Midsummer

(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction

Across fading horizons, the balance of light and shadow fades into silence. Frozen seasons rest in the arms of distant orbits, and names once lost reemerge among the fabric of distant clouds. Stars scatter like broken glass on an infinite canvas, their fragments carried away by invisible currents. In the depths where the light is stored, the sky reshapes itself, patiently, endlessly, as if it had all the time in the universe.

Dusk Carriers

but the nite has just begun

Hercules and Love Affair - "Blind" (re-remix)

Mario Basanov - Do You Remember 12''

Sovate & Thomas Tonfeld - Let there be Rhythm

I'm currently sitting on several thousand dollars of recording and mastering software, along with a shit ton of virtual synthesizers and virtual guitars (no, I don't actually play a real guitar, or a bass for that matter - diabetic neuropathy has all but robbed me of the dexterity to handle them; but I can scoot a mouse and draw lines and, while my body has basically gone to shit, my mind still works. I still have the knowledge to write music. I feel a lot like Stephen Hawking in that respect).

Anyhoo, to answer your question: Logic Pro X for Mac.

For the guitars, I use Native Instruments Vintage, Electric Mint, Electric Sunburst, Acoustic+Nylon Picked and Acoustic Strummed.

I use EZBass for my bass tracks and Native Instrument Acoustic Bass.

For the synthesizers, I have (virtual) an Arp 2600, Moog Mini and Modular V, Synthi V, Buchla Easel, Fairlight CMI from Arturia.

25 years ago, had I developed Diabetes and the associated neuropathy that robbed me of the ability to play bass and guitar, I probably wouldn't be here talking to you right now as I would have pretty much unalived myself as life would have been unbearable at that point.

Thankfully, I now have the technology to keep my hand in the music game.

And how bad is my diabetes? Upon diagnosis my A1C was 11.5 and I was coming down off a 500+ point glucose level. It's amazing I didn't lapse into a diabetic coma.

And how bad is my neuropathy?

I can barely write my name, filling out forms is a chore. I have to have someone do that for me.

My balance is nearly fucked as I have difficulty standing and/or walking. Riding a bike or a motorcycle is out of the question.

It has affected my vision.

My feet are in constant pain, especially my left foot that feels like stepping on broken glass all the time, and did I mention my fingers don't work anymore?

Basically, having been dealt a shitty hand, I didn't give up - I fought back.
