Alan Dunn, based in Leeds, works with students, teaches and produces great works of sonic art. His students learn how to make radiophonic works, radio plays or plain sonic weirdness that after all is not that weird at all.

Alan’s solo works and his work with students are regularly broadcasted by our radio station.

For this production he teamed up with Derek Beaulieu. Also in a, A Novel Alan evokes the sehnsucht that was so typical of 1980s post-punk music in the UK. Other elements are added that will make you think of the elegant beauty of the Powell&Pressburger movies or give you the shivers for their horror characteristics.

Students and plain contemporary (pop) music producers could learn from this work. Listen how elements of speech or the ticking of a clock can be used in -almost- danceable tracks.

In Alan’s words:

Derek Beaulieu’s a, A Novel erases all the text in Andy Warhol’s 1968 novel, leaving only the punctuation marks, typists’ insertions and onomatopoeic words.
