Behind AUN we find Montreal’s Martin Dumais, a long time activist in the Canadian scene. With AUN he has already released 3 solo albums on ORAL, and lately the acclaimed Motorsleep on ALIEN8. The sound of AUN is a marriage between very harmonic/emotional drones and distorted machine-power, between sensibility and noise-strength, usually based on guitar sound-sources. The two pieces on his DRONE EP (first AUN vinyl) show his melancholic side: “The tracks were put together after a summer of very noisy concerts and AUN recording. Usually a split entity, AUN always has a lighter and more heady and melancholic side to the more physical powerdrone material, these two tracks are of the lighter more luminous nature.” The material on the A-Side (“Utica”) is still very expansive and builds an impressive suspense curve, but especially the B-Side “ Lelehudah” is full of touching & yearnful harmonic structures, a majestic dance of polyphonic overtones.
