RANDALL DUNN - BELOVED Vinyl LP
The first solo effort from musician, producer, and engineer Randall Dunn, released in November 2018 and available from us for the first time. Renowned for his work with Sunn0))), Tim Hecker, Six Organs of Admittance, and many more, Beloved follows a turbulent period of change and loss the esteemed producer channeled his energies into a seven song meditation on “anxiety, paranoia, different shades of love, different realizations of mortality, how it can make you feel the stages of your life more deeply.” Dunn shifts his knack for emphasizing the human component of music toward mining emotional resonance from the subtle details and textures generated from early digital and analog synthesizers. “I wanted to make something more like prose or a Gerhard Richter painting with sound,” Dunn says of the album. “Being someone that composes with sound, I wanted to find a voice in it that felt personal, that felt human, especially with electronics, something that didn’t feel too mechanical.”
