DEAN SPUNT?s new album for Drag City is titled ?Basic Editions? (out Sept 27th). It?s an excursion in electronic sound that unpacks his fascination with language ? in this case, the syntax of systems and processes. By turns meditative, compulsive and consumptive, Basic Editions distills a 64 voice module through a headfull of ideas ? somewhat like pouring a cornucopia of possible ambient moods and EZ listening impulses backwards through a funnel, inspiring a deceptively absurd rainbow of soul to spray out the other end.??With this new release, Dean identifies his process as ?using sounds, rather than making sounds?. This approach to music-making is a train of thought that?s been rolling out from the far horizon of the past for ages now ? but for Dean, whose previous works within and without No Age depended on their making of sounds, it?s a fresh work stance. Given, however, No Age?s traditional further manipulation of their own sounds (via loops and treatments), Basic Editions delivers further unexpected hard-rights and lefts in the non-aesthetic aesthetic that has defined Dean?s path over the past two decades. Steering toward wacked digital soundscapes that bounce colourfully across the stereo azimuth, Dean creates a kind of post-ambient neo-exotica that hinges upon a giddy conflation of cosmic and comic.
