Alucidnation

alucidnation is the audio project of Bruce Bickerton. Bruce has been writing and producing music since he started building his studio in the early 1990s. Bruce's first 'proper' career was as a studio tape op & engineer at Fairview Studios in Hull, UK; this experience subsequently laid solid foundations for his future music career. The music of alucidnation played a pivotal role at the Big Chill, the UK's first ‘boutique’ music festival. Bruce signed to the label in 2000 and performed and DJ'd at pretty much every event until 2010, gigging in countries such as Greece, India, Japan, Korea and many more. These events planted seeds which have since flourished worldwide. In hindsight, Big Chill festivals represent an high-point for music, DIY culture and live electronica-based audio/visual performance. Bruce released two critically-acclaimed albums on Big Chill Recordings; 'Re-induction' and 'Get Lost'. The label also released two alucidnation EPs, simply titled 'ep:01' and 'ep:02'. Along with Pete Lawrence, Bruce produced & mixed The Big Chill's award-winning 'Glisten' compilation, released back in 2001. Bruce signed his third album to Interchill Records, releasing 'Aural Architecture' in late 2013. He's since concentrated on nurturing his own label, Lucid Recordings, releasing Peace Odyssey in 2015, the double set 'paracosmic' in 2018 and the ambient albums 'Meditations' & 'Meditations Remixes' in 2020 and 2021. The latest album, Mellifluous, landed in 2022.
