Conversation with Jonny Trunk on his record collection (specialised on film and library music)

Link: [bit.ly]
PDF: [bit.ly]

This is a conversation by email with record collector Jonny Trunk, which took place on April-May 2012, to prepare a monograph on his library music collection.

Jonny Trunk founded the label Trunk Records in 1995, and it soon gained a cult following as a result of its specialisation in unpublished jazz recordings and film and television soundtracks. Trunk Records was the first label to feature non-commercial library music, a genre that Trunk has written about extensively. Trunk hosts a radio programme at London radio station Resonance FM, and he regularly DJs around the world. He began collecting records around 1982, but rather than focusing on traditional record stores, he chose to comb second hand outlets and street markets. It didn’t take long for him to realise that his obsession was not pop music or modern sounds, but film soundtracks and television music. His record collection now consists of around six thousand LPs and his library music collection focuses on the period from 1966 to 1978 and exhaustively explores british, french, italian and german productions.

Dave V — Sat, 05 May 2012 17:04:48 -0700

the ROMZ, 19-T and AD AAD AT record labels? I really liked what they were putting out at the time (early – mid 2000's). Digging through some discs in my closet I came across a few albums and have been listening to them pretty intently the last few days. I miss this time period.

Milky-Chu – Carnival for Edelweiss Ensemble
Utabi – Manchurian Candy
Shex - bpoqd
Cow'P – Africa
Joseph Nothing – Deadland After Dreamland
AD ADD AT Comps. – Trade and Distribution Almanac Vol. 1,2,3

From here I started thinking about other labels I miss: Merck, Accelmuzhik, Pthalo, Addict, etc...
Are there any labels that you wonder what happened to / wished would come back?

Hi guys, I know I don't post here so much anymore but I hope you will still take the time to check out what we're up to and hopefully see some of you down there on the 26th. Something a bit different to our usual...

Saturday 26th May @ Cafe OTO, Ashwin Street, Dalston, London.

The Centrifuge presents:

Orcas (Morr Music)
Rafael Anton Irisarri (Touch, Room40, Ghostly, Miasmah)
Benoît Pioulard (Kranky, Type, Desire Path)
Prima Mater (DJ set)

Facebook Event Page | Ticket Link | Full Infos Here

/////

Quite a last-minute show so please help us to spread the word! The Centrifuge Agency is delighted to be welcoming the critically-acclaimed Orcas for their first ever London show, fresh from the release of their widely praised debut album on Morr Music. This will be a very special evening with both band members, each respected and established in their own right, also performing solo sets.

Seattle’s post-minimalist composer Rafael Anton Irisarri plays his only solo UK show this year and Michigan’s Benoît Pioulard returns to London after recently enchanting a full house at Cafe OTO with his unique guitar and vocal explorations. Be prepared for an evening of Pacific Northwestern experimental guitar music, avant-folk songcraft and symphonic neo-classical ambience.

ORCAS

Interview in Vice's Noisey Magazine

Orcas is a new band by haze-pop auteur Benoît Pioulard and post-minimalist composer Rafael Anton Irisarri. Theirs is a style deeply rooted in personal variations on songform and ambient craft, and as a duo they bridge the furthest outlying aspects of their previous solo works.

“This type of collaboration between experimental pop musicians can too often devolve into aimless fancywork and tech shenanigans, but Meluch and Irisarri have crafted a genuine, coherent album that conjures immense shadows and immense depths worthy of its namesake.” – Pitchfork Music.

RAFAEL ANTON IRISARRI

“Irisarri embodies the hybrid genre…the new kind of composer, who exists in an undifferentiated welter of pop, techno, and classical.” – Pitchfork (USA)

Rafael Anton Irisarri is an American composer, multi-instrumentalist, curator, producer and interdisciplinary artist. He is predominantly associated with post-minimalist, drone and ambient music and has been exploring textural electronics for over half a decade. Irisarri’s recorded output captures an essential vision of floating tones, deep pulsing bass and textured Gaussian curves. His use of ostinato phrases taps into minimalist ideals, whilst his use of atmospheric layers of reverb suggests a more cinematic quality. In all, Irisarri’s compositions are deeply emotive and epic to the point of being symphonic.

He is also known as the main member of electronic shoegaze act The Sight Below, and one half of the critically-acclaimed new duo Orcas with…

Benoît Pioulard

Since a young age, Michigan resident Thomas Meluch has been fascinated with the sounds of nature and tape decay—through almost a decade of recordings, he has fostered an infatuation with a sort of sonic density that combines remnants of pop song structures with the lushness and unpredictability of field recordings. A veteran drummer of a half dozen bands, Meluch chose guitar and voice as the primary instruments for his work as Benoît Pioulard. He began documenting field recordings and his own lo-fi compositions on dictaphones, discarded stereos and four-track machines in the mid 1990s, later focusing on highly limited CD-R and cassette releases of his experimental, folk-influenced songs for friends and family.
