A genuine generation X variable. Dmodul knows his quantum knobs and buttons on a first name basis. A practicing sound engineer for many. In the realm, he is the harmony master of the Quantum Cowboys, it’s discontinuity broker and fake blaster, jaunting between studios, while pro and con music makers come and go, been all over the place, London to NYC. These days he is at large. The album “Ruler” is his gain.
Quantum Cowboys
The People
Steady Force - Profiles by Jeff Hardig
The Q.C-s joined up and aligned positions in 2006. Some of the founding members are on duty in the art-core since the early 90-es. They have pulled it together just in time this realm. The collective is currently residing in Central Europe, in the area known by many as the former Monarchy and something else. An excellent place to think it over. Obviously the quantum fields are calling the shots.
Jakaba
(lyrics, vocal)
A shouldn't have been born category, figuring it out, running on a healthy diet of resonance to work with. Knows what to do with it too. Among the people, an orator, witty with tongues, with angles and buddies with slightly over developed higher brain functions. Former works incl. “Ganges Waltzer” with the band “Free Lancer”. In the realm, Jakaba is weaving plans, playing guitar, writing lyrics, vocalizing, and the system’s operator. Member in the order of Quman. Otherwise Not.
BradyO
(vocal, lyrics)
A natural. Give her music, and she’ll show you what she means by definition. The wild card has had her share of scandals. By day in her saloon, BradyO adjusts hair on top of brains, changes lives, giving advice in quantum rhymes. At nights in the realm, singing, beautifying, reinventing and when the QC-s get apprehensive, she is there rerouting the offensive. She is also picking up a right hand guitar with her good left and kicking ass at Kung-fu class. It’s in her blood. She is a beast.
Arkay
(arrangement, bass)
Salvation personified. He takes the wires, musical, material, metaphysical, hook, unhook burn or fry them until they are quite finished. On the catwalk he engineers, a byte shepherd and an ample ampere hunter, the mystery man who’s playing fingers were regenerated by quantum surges. Arkay owns a portion of the quantum estate, as he was the latest member to take up position in the force. He had brought much needed talent, expertise and buckets of freedom for almost everyone. Arkay plays bass which goes deep and balances out the arrangement powers.
Gnoo
(guitar, arrangement)
The hard line of the quantum the Cowboys carry is in part his fault. Played a while in the band “Nonsense”, then he helped found the Quantum Cowboys. In the early years he had contributed large dozes of talent and melodies to the making of “Ruler”. Presently Gnoo is roaming at large, somewhat knee deep in music business, his pace, at his own place.
Szabó Gergely
(bass)
The left handed fox can play and write music as hell. Since the late 80's on the scene, toured Europe, played a long while in the band “Lacht el Bahhtar”, still not dead yet. Quantum Cowboys are fond of his input, as he is among the founder players, who helped define the under layers. Szabo Gergely keeps flickering in and out, which is quite quantum like, the only one with a degree in art.
Pierre
(additional Guitar)
As an auxiliary he had supported the “Ruler” album elegantly. Knowing to play the guitar is one thing but playing like him is another. Pierre comes from a family of skilled musicians, the quest for perfection running liquid in his veins. He is way out there.
Quantum Cowboys
A true story
Account of days/ by Jeff Handlig
A curiously dangerous bunch they are.
I've seen them go through the very eye of standing waves, rupturing canyons, leveling mountains, facing frank looking devils, in fact quite unwilling to miss the appointment.
With weapons drawn the Quantum Cowboys moved in for the kill, cutting through fields filled withe days gone bad, gnawing at one's throat unnoticed. Much later, sounds of water rushing, I hear them by the creek wash their boots in old beliefs, wiping soles off bad ideas. “We better head south before they start stinkin’. Thin's will from now on grow here.” – The cowboys agreed. I’ve looked around and seen most devils in one great heap. The posse pushed relentlessly further, swearing a whole a lot,
blessed and cursed with skills, to make way to fairer plains.
Come gone the twilight, in the ease evening, making camp the cowboys gathered around the quantum fires. I was invited. Nodding around, warmed by heat and smiles, they sit down and listen. Soon the lights emitted by the fires begun to lick the darker but the more gentle B side of my soul. The weapon’s systems unfolded into instruments by the hands and voices of the Free Human. Ever since that night I yearn for it quite often.
The Quantum Cowboys are tough and daring; they will teach you to love the prairie.
The Album is finished. It’s called “Ruler”. We haven’t decided on distribution yet, but obviously you can listen to some songs on our site, or on myspace.
We will be playing live at a place called DELIRIUM PUB on the 23rd of December, at 8pm. It’s in Budapest, Hungary, VII. District. Kertesz St.33. You should come.
We have had some in and out movements recently. Latest forces to join us are DJ.Kraak, and a new guitar player. Szabo Gergely founder bass player is back for the show. Dmodul and Gnoo might be out of the live action for a while.
We got a Quantum Shaman to indulge us on the gig. Stay tuned.
