Accelera Deck

Accelera Deck is Chris Jeely from Birmingham, Alabama, USA. Chris played and recorded in numerous rock bands, influenced heavily by the textures of My Bloody Valentine and the early 90s ‘shoegaze’ scene. It was the release of Aphex Twin’s ‘Selected Ambient Works Volume II’ and Seefeel’s ‘Quique’ that inspired Chris to begin experimenting with guitar and sampler. He began recording as Accelera Deck sometime after October 1995, when a fire claimed all of his music equipment. With a little insurance money, a four track and guitar were purchased. From then on Chris’ music touched every colour of the musical spectrum: from beat-oriented electronics to acoustic guitarstrumming. Throughout his time recording Chris has dabbled in releasing music under a variety of names like September Plateau, Exhalera Deck, Audio Wishe and Your Favorite Horse. Many limited edition singles and ep’s have been recorded for a variety of esteemed labels such as Morr Music, Neo Ouija, Blackbean & Placenta and 555 Recordings.
