Graham Dunning’s work explores sound as texture, timbre and something tactile, drawing on bedroom production, tinkering and recycling found objects. With the Mechanical Techno live setup, he uses a standard DJ turntable as a sequencer, sound source and ramshackle engine, building a spinning contraption in real-time to make wonky and weird dance music.

Alongside his Mechanical Techno Workshop, Graham will be performing in collaboration with Heavy Lifting (Lucy). Building on their previous collaboration Graham and Lucy will be improvising with an intermingled live code/mechanical techno set up. You can get their 2022 album 'hurlothrumbo' via Fractal Meat Cuts: https://fractalmeat.bandcamp.com/album/hurlothrumbo
