Graham Dunning tweeted this photograph recently, and has since informed me that a recording he has made using his copy of the resin disc from the OSNIR project will appear on a mixcloud stream, part of a series by Kelvin Lords which will also be posted here.
Graham has been a great inspiration to me over the past few months, especially whilst following the blog of his recent ‘Rhythm & Drone” residency at Lime Wharf / Machines Room. The residency catalogued there is an expansion on a project which I think was my first sight of his work and something that forced me to dig a little deeper - entitled “Mechanical Techno”. I think that it was largely the Heath-Robinson appearance of records stacked atop one another, with piezos, retort stands and a overall visual language that encourages some sort of deconstruction or undoing whist listening that really caught my attention. That said, the listening also yields incredibly satisfying satisfying results that express an irreverent humour and sideways delivery of cut-up and collaged music. I can only urge you to do as I did and take a read-through his residency notes and a good rummage through his site for images and videos of his work and it’s progress. Cheers Graham! More soon.
