San Francisco-based Derek Gedalecia has been making strange, messy experimental electronic music as Head Boggle since 2006. He utilizes a vast array of analog synthesizers, including Moogs, Buchlas, and Serge Modulars, as well as acoustic instruments including harpsichords, banjos, harmonicas, and drums. While clearly influenced by academic electronic music pioneers such as Tod Dockstader and Morton Subotnick, his music is far more playful and absurdist, and both his recordings and performances are chaotic and unpredictable. After releasing dozens of limited tapes and CD-Rs on labels such as RRRecords and NNA Tapes, including split releases and collaborations with artists including Fossils and Andrew Coltrane, Head Boggle made its full-length vinyl debut in 2012 with a self-titled album on Spectrum Spools. Gedalecia's next vinyl release was 2014's Serge Modular in Hi-Fi on Experimedia. Also in 2014, he shared a split release with Quicksails on Hausu Mountain, and he returned to the label two years later for the solo tape In Dual Mono. ~ Paul Simpson, Rovi
