heya,

are any of you familiar with
an experimental hardcore artist
called taciturne?

he released an ep on the fischkopf
label years ago, killed himself
shortly afterward.

his music is trashy and sad,
bearing an authenticity i
don't hear much of in dance
music these days.

appears to have been a
genuine character, as well,
whose career deserves at least
as much postmortem attention
as, say, jobriath's...

i've found a few things online,
but would love to read more,
should any of you know where
i might find old reviews/
interviews, links to
people who knew him,
that kind of thing.

thanks in advance!

Are you a poet?

Whoah, I had no idea he killed himself. I had the taciturne record, and really liked it.

yeah, i really liked his stuff.

opened my sets with _mourning_
from that fischkopf record
for a good long time.

later learning he
was a gothic tranny
such as i once was
made me like him
all the more...

if gay men lying dead
in bathtubs are your
thing,

you can find
photos
here:

the woman behind the site
strikes me as being crazier
than a sack of assholes,

tho if half of what
she writes about his
world is true,

the european hardcore
scene is way fucking
darker than i ever
might have imagined...
