Randy Randall

Randy Randall is a Grammy-nominated composer, songwriter, and guitarist of the experimental
punk group No Age. Rooted in the Los Angeles DIY music scene that grew out of Downtown Los
Angeles all-ages venues like The Smell, Randall has created a signature sound that
encapsulates both beautifully fuzzed-out soundscapes and fully-distorted, hard-hitting punk
ferocity.

Sound Field Volume One, Randall's solo debut, finds him in a fully contemplative mode. The
album unfolds as a series of instrumental ambient pieces inspired by Southern California's
Interstate 10 highway and the varying landscapes it passes through. Beginning with the soft,
soothing drones of the desert sunrise, Sound Field traverses the westward path of I-10 through
the outer suburban sprawl of Southern California and the dense urban congestion of Downtown
Los Angeles, concluding on the shores of Santa Monica Beach as shimmering arpeggios imitate
the light reflecting off the waves of a Pacific Ocean sunset. Constructed entirely from
manipulated guitar recordings, the eight pieces on this album segue together seamlessly, each
one gently reflecting its corresponding environment yet never deviating too far from a singular,
meditative sonic disposition. The compositions found on Sound Field Volume One have a direct
connection to Randall's early teenage bedroom recording experiments with drones and guitar
feedback, sounds he has always hinted at in the more atmospheric sections of No Age albums
but never fully explored in long form until now.
