With over
two decades of recording and performing, Dean Dennis’ musical journey has now
arrived at the Nohno project. Dennis has traversed the musical spectrum,
immersing himself in everything from his jazz-funk stomping grounds to the
genre-bending electro-jazz & industrial outpourings of the seminal Clock
DVA, the early electronic experimental work of The Anti Group Collective right
on through to the darker aspects of techno with the Sector project.
Nohno is the
bastard progeny. A hybrid that mutates and evolves through techno jazz,
tech-house to ambient industrial sound-scapes. Nohno is metamorphic. Nohno is
liberated.
The “Metropolis” album, released in 2006, is
Nohno’s first offspring. A deeper affair, “Metropolis” is a sofa rocker. If music were in 3-D, “Metropolis” would be a
flood of images, downloaded directly from your psyche. Images of how London
was last time you were there and images of how you dream of Tokyo being if you ever get to go there.
“Metropolis”
also signals a new & fruitful collaboration for Dennis as he is joined by
Jose M. Jose brings additional elements of improvisation, sound and vocal
sampling to the Nohno project and the potential for new visual dimensions.
