nunn by nunn

Recorded live in their Humboldt Park studio, nunn’s self-titled debut consists of two improvised movements that drone relentlessly, gaining speed and intensity as they fracture and break open completely. One short piece between the first and last hints at nunn’s impetus.

nunn exists somewhere between self harm and meditation, drawing inspiration from masochistic cycles and the divine found in catharsis.

Sonically, the project is influenced by ASMR more-so than "noise." ASMR- that feeling one gets when observing another interact with objects in pointless but satisfying ways. The clicking, popping and/or chewing sounds elicit arousal- either disgust or euphoria- and physical sensations such as tingling, hair raising, or gut churning. nunn aims to conjure such responses in listeners by performing a similarly "pointless but satisfying" act.

Chicago based harsh-ambient from Liv Mershon and R. who have collaborated since 2014, releasing music together as Double Mastectomy, Nyx'd, and Lech.
