Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests.

'''Aaron Brooking Dessner''' (born April 23, 1976) is an American musician. He is best known as a founding member of the rock band [[The National (band)|The National]], with whom he has recorded nine studio albums; a co-founder of the [[indie rock]] duo [[Big Red Machine (band)|Big Red Machine]], teaming with [[Bon Iver]]'s [[Justin Vernon]]; and a collaborator on [[Taylor Swift]]'s studio albums ''[[Folklore (Taylor Swift album)|Folklore]]'' and ''[[Evermore (Taylor Swift album)|Evermore]]'', both of which contended for the [[Grammy Award for Album of the Year]] in [[63rd Annual Grammy Awards|2021]] and [[64th Annual Grammy Awards|2022]], respectively, with the former winning the accolade.

Dessner has co-written, produced or co-produced songs by [[Taylor Swift]], [[Ed Sheeran]], [[Michael Stipe]], [[Gracie Abrams]], [[Frightened Rabbit]], [[Ben Howard]], [[Sharon Van Etten]], [[Local Natives]], [[This Is the Kit]], [[Adia Victoria]], [[Lisa Hannigan]], and [[Lone Bellow]], among others. Dessner co-founded and curates three music festivals: [[Eaux Claires]] in [[Eau Claire, Wisconsin]], alongside his Big Red Machine partner Vernon; HAVEN in [[Copenhagen]] with his brother Bryce, and [[Boston Calling Music Festival]].

On May 19, 2022, alongside [[Questlove]], Dessner was awarded a [[Honorary Doctor of Fine Arts|Doctor of Fine Arts honoris causa]] from [[The University of the Arts]], for "his eagerness to seek out opportunities, to really be a thoughtful collaborator, and someone who would encourage every single student at UArts to explore with their peers across disciplines, new opportunities, and new ideas."<ref>((Cite web |last=Yager |first=David |date=May 19, 2022 |title=University of the Arts Commencement 2022 |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_z-QtWL7Z8 |website=Youtube |format=video))</ref>

== Early life ==
Dessner grew up in [[Cincinnati, Ohio]] with his twin brother, [[Bryce Dessner]].<ref name=":1" /> Dessner was raised as [[Jewish]] and has [[Polish Jewish]] and [[Russian Jewish]] ancestry. Dessner has said that his Jewish background influences his music: "My brother and I have always been fascinated by liturgical religious melodies in Judaism&nbsp;... I don't like major chords. I like the meditative patterns in certain prayers, and I like music that repeats itself." Dessner attended high school at [[Cincinnati Country Day School]] and graduated in 1994. Dessner went on to study Modern European History at [[Columbia University]].<ref>((Cite web |date=2017-08-21 |title=The Secret Jewish History of The National |url=https://forward.com/culture/music/380327/the-secret-jewish-history-of-the-national/ |access-date=2023-05-22 |website=The Forward |language=en))</ref>

===Big Red Machine===
((Main|Big Red Machine (band)))
In 2008, Dessner sent [[Justin Vernon]] an instrumental sketch of a song called "Big Red Machine" for the compilation album ''Dark Was the Night''. Vernon wrote a song to it, interpreting the Big Red Machine title as a heart. After 10 years, the pair formed a band called [[Big Red Machine (band)|Big Red Machine]], and on August 31, 2018, released a [[Big Red Machine (album)|self-titled album]]. The record was produced by Vernon and Dessner with longtime collaborator Brad Cook and engineered by Jonathan Low primarily at Dessner's studio Long Pond in Upper Hudson Valley, New York.

The duo released a second studio album ''[[How Long Do You Think It's Gonna Last?]]'' on August 27, 2021. The album was produced by Dessner and featured many guests and many of his previous collaborators, including [[Ben Howard]], [[Sharon Van Etten]], and [[Taylor Swift]].<ref>((Cite magazine|last=Blistein|first=Jon|date=2021-06-29|title=Aaron Dessner, Justin Vernon's Big Red Machine Previews New Album With 'Latter Days'|url=https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/aaron-dessner-justin-vernon-big-red-machine-new-album-1190641/|access-date=2021-08-27|magazine=Rolling Stone|language=en-US))</ref>

The compilation is a wide-ranging tribute to the songwriting and experimentalism of the Dead which took four years to record, features over 60 artists from varied musical backgrounds, 59 tracks and is almost 6 hours long. All profits will help fight for AIDS/ HIV and related health issues around the world through the Red Hot Organization. ''Day of the Dead'' is the follow-up to 2009's ''Dark Was the Night'' (4AD), a 32-track, multi-artist compilation also produced by the Dessner brothers for Red Hot.

Of the 59 tracks on the compilation, many feature a house band made up of Aaron, Bryce, fellow the National bandmates and brothers Scott and [[Bryan Devendorf]], Josh Kaufman (who co-produced the project), and Conrad Doucette along with Sam Cohen and Walter Martin. The National have a couple of tracks on the album, including "Peggy-O," "Morning Dew" and "I Know You Rider".

A ''Day of the Dead'' live performance took place in August 2016 at the second annual Eaux Claires Festival (August 12–13) featuring Jenny Lewis, Matthew Houck, [[Lucius]], [[Will Oldham]], [[Sam Amidon]], [[Richard Reed Parry]], Justin Vernon, Bruce Hornsby, Ruban Nielson and The National.

===Forever Love===
Forever Love is a collaboration between Aaron and Bryce Dessner, renowned Icelandic performance artist [[Ragnar Kjartansson (performance artist)|Ragnar Kjartansson]] and Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir, formerly of the Icelandic band [[múm]]. The project is a blending of visual and performance art with live music, all centered around a song cycle written and performed by Aaron and Bryce alongside Gyða and Kristín Anna Valtýsdóttir. It was commissioned by Eaux Claires Festival and made its world premiere in 2015 where it served as the official starting point of the festival on both Friday and Saturday.

Forever Love marked a live performance reunion for the Dessner twins and Kjartansson, as both artists had previously collaborated on a six-hour video work, A Lot of Sorrow, which documents the National performing their three-song "Sorrow" for six hours in front of a live audience at [[MoMA PS1]].<ref>((Cite web|url=https://pitchfork.com/reviews/albums/20511-a-lot-of-sorrow/|title=The National: A Lot of Sorrow|website=Pitchfork|language=en|access-date=February 6, 2019))</ref>

===Other collaborations and contributions===
Dessner is a frequent collaborator with a wide range of musicians, including his brother and bandmate [[Bryce Dessner]]. In August 2008, Aaron and Bryce performed a collaborative concert with David Cossin, and Luca Tarantino as a part of Soundres, an international residency program for contemporary music and art in Salento, Italy and at the Guitare Au Palais Festival Perpignan France. They also performed at Matthew Ritchie's Ghost Operator opening at the White Cube Gallery in London. Aaron and Bryce have also collaborated with many world-renowned orchestras. Most recently the brothers played with the Copenhagen Philharmonic in a concert billed as "Sixty Minutes of the Dessners." 

The program included "St. Carolyn by the Sea," "Lachrimae" and "Raphael," all of which were composed by Bryce Dessner. Bryce and Aaron have also performed "St. Carolyn by the Sea" and "Raphael" with the Amsterdam Sinfonietta during the [[Holland Festival]]. These performances took place at [[Muziekgebouw aan 't IJ]] in Amsterdam and Muziekgebouw Frits Philips in Eindhoven. In October 2011, Dessner joined his brother to perform "St. Carolyn by the Sea" with the [[American Composers Orchestra]] at The World Financial Center in New York City.

Marshall Curry's award-winning documentary Racing Dreams includes music contributed by both Dessner and the National. "Win Win" directed by Thomas McCarthy closes with "Think You Can Wait," a track written by Dessner and Matt Berninger, recorded by the National with additional vocals from Sharon Van Etten. Dessner also played an important role in the National's contribution to the HBO show [[Game of Thrones]]. 

In March 2012, Dessner, Scott Devendorf and Bryan Devendorf teamed up with Grateful Dead guitarist Bob Weir for a live webcast, which featured two musical sets and a political discussion. The event was produced by Head Count, a non-partisan organization that uses live music events to promote voter registration and awareness. In May 2012, the National's performance of "Rains of Castamere" played during the closing credits of season two episode nine. In December 2012, Dessner curated a day of Other Voices, an Irish music festival that aired live on RTÉ Two in Ireland. The performances took place in the Church of St James in Dingle, County Kerry.
