Ballet Mecanique To Release Second Album, Cubist Berceuse,
On September 14th


Washington, DC: Following last year's critically acclaimed Paradigm Suite,
Washington, DC-based Ballet Mecanique will release Cubist Berceuse on
September 14th. Ballet Mecanique is a solo project for keyboardist James
Tucker, who describes Ballet Mecanique's hybrid of jazz, classical
hip-hop, and rap as "surreal fusion." Inspired by the anarchy and
destruction of mainstream aesthetic boundaries associated with the Dada
movement, Ballet Mecanique boldly and seamlessly blends genres that few
keyboard artists can jointly master.

James Tucker draws upon years of education in piano performance, jazz, and
music composition, as well as experience performing with The Drifters,
Wolfman Jack, Al Wilson, The Temptations, and Sara Dash, to record as a
solo act. Ballet Mecanique has contributed its surrealist vision and
driving rhythms to independent films and dance troupes, including
performances at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in
Washington, DC.

Cubist Berceuse will be released on Tucker's own Wet Dog Studios label.
Tucker will continue to perform live with renowned
funkabilly innovators Lost Highway Band and many other national and
regional performance groups. Upcoming performances in support of Cubist
Berceuse will provide a multimedia experience including a full string
section, dancers, and lighting effects. Dancers and listeners alike will
no doubt be inspired by the kinetic, dynamic energy of Cubist Berceuse,
which Tucker describes as a "surreal sonic journey for the mind and spirit
bending reality for the fun of it."
