Kranky

Kranky is an American record label based in Chicago, Illinois. Established in 1993 by Bruce Adams and Joel Leoschke, Kranky has been a prominent force in the music industry since its inception. With a focus on the alternative and experimental genres, Kranky has released numerous groundbreaking albums over the years.

Known for their unique sound and innovative approach to music production, *Kranky* has become synonymous with quality and creativity. The label's publishing credits typically go to Kranky, Ltd., further solidifying their reputation as a trusted name in the industry.

With a catalog spanning from the 1990s to the 2000s, *Kranky* has consistently showcased talented artists who push boundaries and challenge conventions. Their commitment to supporting independent musicians sets them apart from other labels, making them a go-to destination for fans of cutting-edge music.

Christopher Bissonnette is a Canadian musician / sound artist / designer living and working in Detroit and Windsor. He has released three full-length albums for Kranky and a collaborative recording with David Wenngren (Library Tapes) on Home Normal. Continuing the explorations of the analog synthesizer first revealed on his last album, Bissonnette's deft touch in recording and mixing is a joy to experience. While most contemporary analog synth slingers find themselves unable to not overload the sound-field with the endless array of possibilities the instrument provides, Bissonnette provides a master class in economy and control. Since his first full album release, Periphery, ten years ago, Bissonnette has been expanding his aural vocabulary and production techniques incorporating elements of concrete, field recording and modular synthesis. This new series of works reflects an evolution of my adeptness with modular synthesis. As with my previous release Essays in Idleness, 'Pitch, Paper and Foil' was constructed from a range of synthesis and compositional techniques. The goal with this album was to form a collection that exhibits more restraint than previous works. Modular synthesis can be an unruly medium and taming it in order to produce delicate or subtle tones can be challenging. As with Essays..., I have allowed the artifacts of the process to find their way into the finished product. Tape noise, distortion and by-products of the random sequencing method all contribute to the character of the final recordings.
