analog and digital, acoustic and electronic, improvisation and
manipulation, the original dadala album ‘recycles’ came about in 2004
when RDunlap began using software to remix and combine various
recordings from his archives: solo recordings and duet sessions with
Steven Peckman, Frank Dunlap and Dan Bartlett from 1985-1995. The
source recordings used were for the most part free improvisation in an
avant-garde and experimental vein, and many of them were already
remixes, tape collage and overdubs of earlier material, weaving
together layers of synchronicity across time. dadala is an
unconventional, experimental and avant-garde project from long-time
outsider RDunlap combining, remixing and manipulating existing
recordings of his own and others contributed by a variety of
unconventional artists. To date (early 2009) seven dadala albums have
been produced, plus a sampler CD of selections from the first five
albums. Four of the albums are available for free download from www.peripheralmusic.org/rdunlap, others are available from CD Baby, iTunes and other online stores, and all can be streamed for free from last.fm.
