Duffo – The Artist

Geoff “Jeff” Stephen Duff, or Duffo, (born 1956) is an Australian singer/cabaret performer in the tenor range, who in his career has used various personae, wardrobe, and satire as features of his performance. Duff’s shows Ziggy and Bowie Unzipped are portrayals of the music of David Bowie, whom he met while Bowie was a Sydney resident. Duffo relocated to London in 1978 as “the waif-like androgynous oddball Duffo” His keyboard player and arranger for most of this period was Sev Lewkowicz. Duffo has released four albums under the name Duffo – four between 1979–82 and a fifth, Ground Control to Frank Sinatra in 2004. The beginning of the “Duffo” period saw his single, “Give Me Back Me Brain” reached No. 60 on the UK Singles Chart in 1979. His 1999 compilation, Martian Girls Are Easy, is a 40-track, double CD anthology covering Duff’s solo career from 1978, described by music historian, Ian McFarlane as showing “the satirical, new wave origins of ‘Give Me Back Me Brain’, through the soulful classical arrangement of Lou Reed’s ‘Walk on the Wild Side’, dipping into funk on the way and then back to his glam roots”

The Human Brain – The Shape

This record has been modelled into a silhouette of the Human Brain. The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system, and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system. The brain consists of the cerebrum, the brainstem and the cerebellum. It controls most of the activities of the body, processing, integrating, and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs, and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body. The brain is contained in, and protected by, the skull bones of the head.
