Graham Dunning

The first gig with Kev was for Robin The Fog’s festival at Iklectik in 2023. Since then we have played a handful of shows, including at a gallery in Bratislava (pictured), a festival in Bedford and an iMax in Bristol. This new tape features edits from that first live show and a bunch of rehearsals in between. I’ve also written about the project in my PhD, which I hope to be able to share soon. Kev’s design for the tape is amazing, and includes some of the visuals from PuttyRubber and Chromatouch, and photos by Keith de Mendonca, Mark Van der Vord, Peter Williams, Mike Letchford, w.ith.lasers and Jason B.

An improvised rhythmical collage of sound and samples from two e-x-t-e-n-d-e-d turntables. First billed as a ‘modified turntablism soundclash’ the collaboration was conceived somewhat like a back-to-back dance music DJ set, but with two modified turntable systems rather than a standard DJ setup. Graham uses his Mechanical Techno contraption, a tower of modified records and mechanical triggers. DJ Food uses his Quadraphon four-armed turntable with locked groove records.

Graham Dunning is a musician, instrument designer and artist working with sound. His work explores sound as texture, timbre and something tactile, drawing on bedroom production, tinkering and recycling found objects.

DJ Food has been working with turntables for 40 years. His custom-made four-armed Quadraphon deck enables him to bridge the gap between live improvisation and a club DJ set.
