…this brings us nicely onto an artist who did just this – ‘Huunter’. After already releasing a 7 track classical influenced album back in 2008, Lloyd Bourne (the one member of Huunter) then drew electronic inspiration from the Lollapalooza Festival that he attended that same year and the outcome is ‘The Ultraviolet Catastrophe’.
It’s not your usual four to the floor affair – in fact, the 4 track album (each track being around the 10 minute mark!) requires patience, and a little attention upon it’s first listen…Continue at beatbeatblog!
Interview With The Jackson Free Press
by Sarah Bush

Huunter’s newest album, “The Ultraviolet Catastrophe,” is many things, but “easy to categorize” is not one of them. The music is modern classical meets electronic dance. It’s complex and intriguing, yet easy to dance to. It’s something you have to experience to understand.
The sole member of Huunter is Lloyd Bourne, 22, a Jackson native and recent graduate of Millsaps College. “The Ultraviolet Catastrophe” is Bourne’s second album to release under the pseudonym Huunter. The first, “Shantih,” is a minimalist classical album Bourne wrote during his grandmother’s struggle with lung cancer.
Bourne attributes the musical growth and change between “Shantih” and “The Ultraviolet Catastrophe” to an experience that he had at the Lollapalooza music festival in 2008.
“There were hundreds of people dancing, and it was really cool to see all of those people responding to music all together like that, so I decided I wanted to go home and start writing a dance CD … but with classical instruments.”
Once Bourne began experimenting, combining classical sounds with dance beats, “The Ultraviolet Catastrophe” was born. Each track is created electronically using a keyboard, and a single track may take Bourne anywhere from a few hours to several months to create.
The most interesting track on the album is “The Entanglement.” This is where Bourne’s vision creates a most harmoniously infectious, layered sound you can’t help but move to.
Huunter has performed once at Sneaky Beans, and he hopes to play a few more shows in Jackson before moving to New York City in August to pursue his music career full time. To listen to or purchase “The Ultraviolet Catastrophe,” visit Huunter’s Band Camp page.
