Information
Dialect is the long standing solo project of British musician and composer Andrew PM Hunt. Embracing an intuitive, collage-like approach to sound, Hunt assembles rich organic textures with evocative electro-acoustic environments, resulting in compositions that are both fragmented and deeply personal. Following a progression of concept-rich releases across almost a decade, Dialect marks a return to RVNG Intl. in 2024 with Atlas of Green, a work of speculative musical poetry melding a patchwork of scavenged relics and bygone hues through the shimmers of a mid-future in flux. The early origins of Dialect can be prospected through Hunt’s immersion in the culture of playing in underground bands while growing up on the Wirral Peninsula in North West England. This DIY ethos ensued as Hunt naturally gravitated towards a personal studio practice as a way of processing his myriad musical and non-musical influences, using instruments as tools to construct intimate musical worlds. In 2015, Hunt released his lucid debut offering as Dialect, Advanced Myth, an expansive cosmos of unusual source synthesis and found sound, originally on the net imprint Tasty Morsels and reissued by RVNG and Warm Winters, Ltd. in 2022. Subsequent releases followed on the now defunct Canadian label 1080p Collection and Dense Truth, a label run by fellow Wirral musician Forest Swords for whom Hunt plays saxophone in his live band. Hunt is also a member of the Liverpool-based minimalist quartet Ex-Easter Island Head, in which he plays and acts as producer.
