His latest offering is a short film accompanying the album&#8217;s closing track, &#8216;A True Home&#8217;, featuring guest contributor Zola Jesus on vocals. She had this to say about their collaboration:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">\u201cI met Randall for the first time about a year ago. As soon as we got to know each other we connected deeply, sharing so much common ground on both creative and personal levels. I was so honoured when Randall asked me to sing on this song, because not only am I huge fan of his work, but this song in particular held great meaning for him and thus me as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Filmed in the Oman desert, the effort was directed by Turkish filmmaker Mu Tun\u00e7, who &#8220;wanted to take the viewer into a surreal journey where the whole story reflects the hallucinatory feeling of the song&#8221;. Dunn also explained how the idea behind the film came about:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8220;The film is based on a reoccurring dream I had this past year of a woman walking through the desert in search of water. Longing reds and browns set against the deep sun. I conveyed this idea to Mu, who went deeply into the concept in a way beyond what I could have imagined.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Watch it now.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Jqo9lKLhYEA\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=648576343\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=de270f\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=256584117\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\"><a href=\"http:\/\/randalldunn.bandcamp.com\/album\/beloved\">Beloved by Randall Dunn<\/a><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Musician, producer, and engineer Randall Dunn spent years lending his talent and collaborating with the likes of SunnO))), Six Organs of Admittance, Anna von Hausswolf and Tim Hecker, amongst many others.
