Jonny Fryer’s track 'Elegy' has been featured on Alan Dunn's
history of background, audio CD + booklet, cantaudio033, March 2011. An edition
of 1,000 audio CDs compiled by artist Alan Dunn, Associate Senior Lecturer in
Contemporary Art at Leeds Metropolitan University.
As the revolution dies and the grey clears, new backgrounds come
into view. From the beginning of time and space at the big bang, background has
been an unavoidable issue to deal with and the CD looks at the manners in which
artists, writers, filmmakers, designers and musicians have creatively explored
the concept of background; vanishing points, dub, bass guitar, deep space,
landscape, soundtracks, Muzak, ambience, dubstep, piped music, noise and
eavesdropping.
The collection includes new 30-second compositions from students
and staff of the School of Contemporary Art & Graphic Design, sitting
alongside new works from artists such as Undark, Hannah Dargavel-Leafe and Lisa
Stansbie. Completing the
collection is archival material from Erik Satie, David Bowie, Brian Eno, Lee
'Scratch' Perry, Yoko Ono, Einsturzende Neubauten, Michelangelo Antonioni and
Andy Warhol. The CDs will be given away freely from March 2011
