BLUE LAKE - Sun Arcs LP
2025 REPRESS, Black BIO vinyl, LP Insert, Poly PVC Outer, Sticker
Weaving between self-built zithers, drones, clarinets, slide guitars and drum machines, âSun Arcsâ is a beautifully unique sound offering with inventive, free spirited and DIY sensibility.
Blue Lake is the musical moniker of American born, Copenhagen based multidisciplinary artist and musician Jason Dungan, who signs to the Tonal Union imprint for the release of his new longform album âSun Arcsâ. It follows 2022âs release âStiklingâ, earning a nomination for âAlbum of the Yearâ at the Danish Music Awards plus warm praise from The Hum blog and musicians and DJs alike including Jack Rollo (Time is Away/NTS) and Carla dal Forno. A self taught player, Dungan began freely experimenting with self-built multi-string instruments, preferring to build his own hybrid 48-string zither and working in the realms of left-field ambient music, off kilter folk and improvised acoustic minimalism.
Musically it portrays a form of double life led by an American-identifying person living in Scandinavia, and a new found presence in Denmark, seeking out underdeveloped marshlands and barren stretches of beach adrift from other rhythms and distractions. Highlighting their individual and potent importance Dungan concludes: âBoth
places feel like âmeâ, I think on some level the music is always some kind of self-portrait.â âSun Arcsâ depicts the intricate balance of natureâs cycles and the paths outlined by the seasons, from a winter dormancy to a warm sun drenched scene. The album scales new glorying heights and further defines Dunganâs musical narrative, inhabiting a unique space in left-field, improvised and experimental music, borning his most accomplished
compositions to date. A singular and visionary expression, drawing on an array of instruments and sound worlds with a renewed sense of joy and discovery.
