Wrought by Graham Dunning

In a slight move away from Graham Dunning's recent mechanical techno, Wrought is a new work utilising a slightly altered set up.
Recorded live without overdubs or edits, the album uses spring reverbs, analogue delay, dubplates, turntable with extra tone arm and mixing desk.

"Emphasising the texture and rhythms present in the record crackle, using the image as an effective score rather than a direct graphic score.
In part working with the record player as a machine - allowing it to play and sculpting the output, rather than manipulating it directly, physically.
Conversely with the spring reverbs I used them as tone generators, changing note and reverb amount by physically handling the coils.
The idea of extracting a live dub from mechanical devices, the ghost in the machine."
Graham Dunning, 2016

Arell is a label based on some simple ideas.
We release albums and EPs compiled as single tracks (so the music is experienced as the artists intended) and downloaded via a code printed on the back of a unique black & white postcard. With each new release a library of diverse music and a gallery of textured black and white imagery will begin to form.
