Aaron Turner (born November 5, 1977) is an American musician, singer, graphic artist, and founder of label Hydra Head Records. He is most widely known for his role as guitarist and vocalist for the post-metal bands SUMAC and Isis, while also participating in several other bands and projects such as Old Man Gloom, Lotus Eaters, Greymachine and Split Cranium, a collaboration with Jussi Lehtisalo of Finnish band Circle who toured with Isis in 2009.

Raised in New Mexico, Turner moved to the Boston area, where he attended art school and formed Isis and Hydra Head. In June 2003, Turner moved operations of both the band and label to Los Angeles, California.{{cite web |url=http://homepages.nyu.edu/~djn208/hydrahead/090903/ |title=Fantasizing Hydra Head: A Conversation with Aaron Turner |first=Damien |last=Neva |date=September 9, 2003 |access-date=March 29, 2008 |archive-date=June 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110607003558/http://homepages.nyu.edu/~djn208/hydrahead/090903/ |url-status=dead }} Turner now resides in Vashon, WA which is also the base of operations for Hydra Head and his various other activities.{{Cite web |last=Rosenschein |first=Ari |date=April 12, 2016 |title=The Secret Island Life of Mamiffer |url=http://www.invisibleoranges.com/the-secret-island-life-of-mamiffer/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160415100609/http://www.invisibleoranges.com/the-secret-island-life-of-mamiffer/ |archive-date=April 15, 2016 |access-date=April 26, 2019 |website=Invisible Oranges}}

In partnership with his wife Faith Coloccia, Turner founded another record label, SIGE, in March 2011. It has gone on to release material from his musical collaboration with Coloccia, Mamiffer.{{cite web |title=Mamiffer's Faith Coloccia, Aaron Turner Form SIGE Record Label |url=http://www.pluginmusic.com/news/article/mamiffers-faith-coloccia-aaron-turner-form-sige-record-label |publisher=Plug in Music |access-date=April 22, 2011 |date=March 7, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120325113935/http://www.pluginmusic.com/news/article/mamiffers-faith-coloccia-aaron-turner-form-sige-record-label |archive-date=March 25, 2012 |url-status=dead }} SIGE is distributed by The Business.{{Cite web|last=Rennis|first=Nick|title=Almost exactly four years ago, a fateful convergence|url=https://www.facebook.com/thebusinessrecs/posts/2427836937229302|access-date=2020-08-23|website=The Business on Facebook|language=en}}

Personal life

Turner was born in Springfield, Massachusetts on November 5, 1977. At an early age, his family moved to New Mexico, where he was raised. His mother was a teacher "who taught a progressive curriculum" and his father an author, "mainly [of] non-fiction". Turner describes his upbringing, surrounded by his parents' writer, artist and photographer friends, as "creatively nurturing". At age 17, he started a company that sold rare punk rock records via mail-order. He later moved to Boston to attend art school at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, and in 1995 began releasing music. By 1997, the Hydra Head label was becoming a respectable small record label. Turner describes his early industriousness as being motivated in part by boredom:

I grew up in New Mexico, and there wasn't a whole lot as far as youth culture is concerned. Especially when I started to get interested in straight edge and wasn't doing drugs anymore, there was really nothing for me to do. So that was like a big reason for me, I suppose, to become really productive. Also, I've never been a really social person. So there's not a lot of time taken up by my social life. And music has always been a very very big part of my life. I guess just a combination of those factors is why everything got started so early.{{cite news|url=http://www.bostonphoenix.com/archive/music/99/02/04/hydrahead_records.html |title=Metal Health |access-date=13 May 2008 |last=Carioli |first=Carly |date=4–11 February 1999 |work=The Boston Phoenix |publisher=The Phoenix Media/Communications Group |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071224130932/http://bostonphoenix.com/archive/music/99/02/04/hydrahead_records.html |archive-date=24 December 2007 }}

Around 1997–99, Turner was living with future Isis bassist and co-founder Jeff Caxide; until this point, he had been a member of the bands Union Suit and Hollomen.{{cite web |last=Hill |first=Mike |title=Isis' Aaron Turner: Musical Renaissance Man – Exclusive Interview |url=http://www.noisecreep.com/2011/05/13/isis-aaron-turner-musical-renaissance-man-exclusive-intervi/ |work=Noisecreep |publisher=AOL |access-date=June 29, 2011 |date=May 13, 2011}} Isis was formed in 1997 out of a dissatisfaction with said bands' musical direction and Turner and Caxide's respective degrees of creative control.

In mid-2009, Turner moved from Los Angeles, where both Isis and Hydra Head Records were based at the time, to Seattle with his then-girlfriend, Faith Coloccia;{{cite journal |first=J. |last=Bennett |title=Five Alive |journal=Decibel |date=June 2009 |issue=56 |pages=68–73}} they went on to wed in September of the same year.{{cite web |last=Turner |first=Aaron |title=Just Got Married |url=http://aaronbturner.blogspot.com/2009/09/just-got-married.html |publisher=Feral Pig |access-date=April 22, 2011 |date=September 29, 2009}}

Equipment

Touring with Isis in 2007, Turner used two different guitars: a 1976 Fender Telecaster Custom (black), and a 1975 Fender Telecaster Deluxe (brown), played through various effects (his pedalboard layout changed every gig depending on what songs the band decided to play that night), a VHT/Fryette Pitbull Ultra Lead, and two 4x12 Sunn cabinets.{{cite news |url=http://guitargeek.com/chat/showthread.php?threadid=94290 |title=Aaron Turner ISIS 10 Year Anniversary Tour |access-date=November 25, 2007 |year=2007 |publisher=GeekChat/GuitarGeek |archive-date=February 6, 2009 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090206165121/http://guitargeek.com/chat/showthread.php?threadid=94290 |url-status=dead }} He has also acquired a custom guitar from the Electrical Guitar Company (as did fellow Isis guitarist Michael Gallagher).{{cite news |url=http://aaronbturner.blogspot.com/2008/03/hydra-head-sxsw-poster.html |title=HYDRA HEAD SXSW Poster |last=Turner |first=Aaron |year=2008 |access-date=December 31, 2008 |publisher=FERAL PIG/ the aural & visual art of Aaron Turner}}

In the past, Turner has also used a Gibson Les Paul Standard, PRS CE24, and has played through Sunn, Mesa Boogie, and Mackie amplifiers.{{cite news |url=http://www.guitarplayer.com/article/isis/jan-05/152 |title=Isis |last=Porosky |first=Pamela |year=2005 |access-date=December 13, 2007 |work=Guitar Player Magazine |publisher=New Bay Media, LLC |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20071210010703/http://guitarplayer.com/article/isis/Jan-05/152 |archive-date=December 10, 2007 |url-status=live}}

When playing with Isis, Turner and his fellow guitarists usually tuned their instruments (low to high) B-F#-B-E-G#-B, to achieve a heavier sound. They also used other tunings, though less frequently, such as F# (octave below)-F#-B-E-G#-B.

In 2016, Turner described the live rig he used with SUMAC as consisting of two custom-built guitars from the Electrical Guitar Company. Both have lucite bodies and aluminum necks, and custom-wound wide frequency range pickups. The newer of the two—a prototype for a signature model—has a slightly flatter fingerboard radius than the older instrument. On a tour of the Eastern US, Turner was using an Orange Dual Dark 100 amplifier head with a slaved Fryette Two/Ninety/Two power amp. Both heads drove Orange and Marshall cabinets, though Turner claimed to have no strong preferences for particular speaker cabinets. While recording, Turner prefers to use a Fryette Pitbull Ultra Lead, an amp model he's used consistently since his work in Isis. Turner described using a variety of effects pedals in his live rig. Specifically, he runs a BOSS TU-3 Chromatic Tuner, a Death By Audio Apocalypse fuzz, a MASF fuzz, a Strymon BlueSky reverb (which he described as the one essential pedal in his rig), a TC Electronics Ditto Looper X2, and an EHX Forty-Five Thousand sampler (used to trigger preset samples during performance). Turner prefers a Heil PR20 vocal microphone.{{cite news |url=http://geargods.net/rigged/sumac-2/ |title=RIGGED: SUMAC's Aaron Turner, Brian Cook, and Nick Yacyshyn |last=Maximus |year=2016 |access-date=November 22, 2017 |work=Gear Gods|publisher=Blast Beat Network }}

When playing with Sumac he uses two distinct tunings being A-F#-B-D-F#-B and A#-F-A#-D-F#-A#.

Musical influences

Turner cites Pink Floyd, King Crimson, Godflesh, Neurosis, and Led Zeppelin as influences on Isis' sound. However, he points to the electronica, krautrock and hip hop genres as shaping the group's rhythmic focus and use of sampling, as well as their occasional digressions into ambient passages.{{cite magazine |last=Donnelly |first=Justin |url=http://www.blistering.com/fastpage/fpengine.php/link/1/templateid/8491/tempidx/5/menuid/3 |title=ISIS feature interview at Blistering.com |access-date=December 13, 2007 |year=2005 |magazine=Blistering |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061022142906/http://www.blistering.com/fastpage/fpengine.php/link/1/templateid/8491/tempidx/5/menuid/3 |archive-date=October 22, 2006 |url-status=dead }}{{cite web|last=Gallardo |first=Alfredo |url=http://www.lahojadearena.com/archivo/?p%3D416 |title=Entrevista con Aaron Turner |website=La Hoj de Arena |date=November 15, 2011 |access-date=July 10, 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131228213612/http://www.lahojadearena.com/archivo/?p=416 |archive-date=December 28, 2013 |language=es }} He has also listed Melvins, Jimi Hendrix, Swans, Keiji Haino, Oxbow, Earth, and Coil as among his favorite artists, and has noted that Megadeth, Metallica, and Slayer were important to his early interests in the guitar.{{cite news |url=http://www.havoctv.com/read/35/ |title=Ten Questions with Aaron Turner of ISIS |access-date=December 3, 2007 |year=2007 |publisher=HavocTV.com |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080209132556/http://www.havoctv.com/read/35/ |archive-date=February 9, 2008}} In addition, he has noted Black Sabbath as an influence during his formative years.{{cite web |last=Rauf |first=Adam |title=The Isis Interview: Exclusive |url=http://blowthescene.com/music/the-isis-interview-exclusive.html |publisher=Blow the Scene |access-date=April 22, 2011 |date=June 18, 2010}}

Artwork

Turner's artwork tends toward the abstract or surreal, often depicting strange or fantastic landscapes and structures. His work on album covers, concert posters, and other music-related graphics is distinct from typical work in heavy metal or rock graphic design. In part, this may be because of the way that Turner views his objectives in creating designs, which he has discussed on his blog in response to criticism of the clarity of text on one of his concert posters:

I also generally reject the idea that posters and album sleeves and T-shirts have to be marketing tools with overly obvious type/graphics, as opposed to more artistically oriented pieces that invoke the true spirit of the music they are intended to represent. if the bands being represented aren't writing 3 minute pop songs with inane choruses that beat the listener into submission, why should the representative graphics serve that purpose? i like to think the audience that follows these bands isn't the type of audience that requires overly simplified/commercial imagery and type in order to draw their attention to the "product". it is precisely the type of corporate design mentality as exemplified by the statement above that i have striven to avoid with what i do in the realm of music related graphics. we're not trying to sell our music to wal-mart shoppers, so if you expect our graphic personality to fall in line with what you were taught in design school about corporate branding and "truly effective" type and illustration techniques you shall be continually disappointed. clean type has its time and place, but this poster which is meant to showcase the personality of our label and by extension the show itself isn't it. music related design can be art simply beyond the idea of selling something...{{cite news |last=Turner |first=Aaron |url=http://aaronbturner.blogspot.com/2008/03/negative-approach.html |title=Negative Approach |access-date=8 April 2008 |date=10 March 2008 |publisher=FERAL PIG / the aural & visual art of Aaron Turner}}

In 2008, Turner's artwork was featured in a FIFTY24SF Gallery group show entitled Catalyst.{{cite web |url=http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/qcatalystq-opens-tonight-at-fifty24sf-gallery |title="Catalyst" Opens Tonight at FIFTY24SF Gallery |date=September 4, 2008 |publisher=Juxtapoz |access-date=April 25, 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120318062741/http://www.juxtapoz.com/Current/qcatalystq-opens-tonight-at-fifty24sf-gallery |archive-date=March 18, 2012 |url-status=dead }}
