Skultura by Nick Dunston
Composition, improvisation, and performance are no longer the only elements at play in Dunston’s recorded work. On Skultura, he
continuously shapes the music with various sound-manipulation techniques to create an album that is meticulous as it is visceral. To
quote Jacob Garchik’s liner notes, the ‘work is made of continuous waves of inspiration and creation, strata of improvisations made
permanent, each layer related to the one below, or not’. Skultura is revered in Europe and the U.S., and will be co-released on the
Berlin-based record label Fun In The Church, and the American tape cassette label Tripticks Tapes. Upcoming European performances
in the Fall 2023 include Wels Unlimited Festival in Austria, and the Jazz Exzess concert series in Berlin.
