Renowned bassist/composer Dunn is also know for working with Mr. Bungle, Fantomas, Tomahawk, Mad Love, Secret Chiefs 3, and collaborating with artists such as John Zorn and the Melvins.
Séances will release on cd via Pyroclastic Records with 7 new tracks.
Dunn gives some background as to how this album came together, following a 2015 attempt to compose new music for Trio-Convulsant and string quartet:
Once I realized the string quartet music didn't work...I decided to change the orchestration to expand the palette even more, trio being such an intimate ensemble. I put out an album of my chamber music on Tzadik [2019’s Nocturnes], so I’d gotten the string quartet thing out of my system. The ensemble started to come together in my head, but it ultimately it took me years to figure out what I was trying to do musically. Then at some point during quarantine it finally reared its head.
Track list:
1. Secours Meurtriers
2. Saint-Médard
3. Restore All Things
4. 04 1733
5. The Asylum's Guilt
6. Eschatology
7. Thaumaturge
