Duenn & Brian Grainger - Presence (Version IIB) (2019)

A short except taken from the new work "Presence" by Duenn and Brian Grainger. This is NONUMBER002.

Working with Duenn's source material, Brian Grainger has crafted a beautifully resigned collaborative piece which compliments deep listening and low level playback. Subtle pitch correction creates a softly glowing orb of drone who's muted harmonics wrap themselves into luminous filigree. Its elegant stasis is reminiscent of works by John Hudak, Bernard Gunter and Richard Chartier.

Duenn is based in Fukuoka, Japan. His work has been released on Entr’acte, LINE and Slowdown Records amongst others. Using minimal equipment his work explores minimalism within sound art, ambient and contemporary electronic music. In 2017 he formed the experimental unit "3RENSA" with Masami Akita (Merzbow) and Nyantora.

Brian Grainger lives and works in Ohio, producing impressionistic audio work through his White Pillar Workshop. Since 2004 he has maintained his own boutique imprint Milieu Music, for releasing his work directly via mail-order.
