PRE-ORDER: Manifolds Of Partially Actualized Realities [LP]

Manifold of Partially Actualized Realities is the new album on Kou Records by Randall Dunn - producer, composer, and architect of some of the most distinctive low-end and spatial sound in contemporary music, known for his work with Sunn O))), Oneohtrix Point Never, and David Torn. A meditation on fractured realities, time, and mortality - a mirror that folds back on itself, and on how events of the future affect the past - the album draws it's animating spirit from Philip K. D ick's "pink light experience" of 1974: music that arrives in layers, collapses, reconstitutes, and refuses resolution. D eploying an arsenal of vintage synthesizers alongside an exceptional ensemble cast - including J i'm Jarmusch (spoken word after PKD), Laima Leyton (spoken word after Robert Graves), Cyro Baptista, Briggan Krauss, and Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe - the album moves from spectral electroacoustic writing to a final piece that opens into ecstatic jazz. True ensemble writing from one of experimental music's great sonic architects.
