It has been a long time since we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing a work by Canadian composer and sound sculptor Kyle Bobby Dunn, but here he is with an ambient / electroacoustic work from 2009 that has been re-released.
From Kyle’s Bandcamp site:
“Originally available as a digital release on Moodgadget in 2009, tracks that later appeared with different names and polish on the Young Person’s Guide compact disc collection the following year.
“These spine-tingling soundscapes channel the spirit of William Basinski in their evocation of faded grandeur, occupying a truly widescreen scope that in its own subtle, rather muted fashion comes across as more melodic and explicitly musical than so many other drone disciples out there”
– Boomkat“Dunn’s New York resides in the shadow of Morton Feldman and other downtown art-music titans who worked in self-effacing quietude, a debt he repays in compositions that are patience incarnate, and which, in context, can’t help but sound like a rejection of blog-culture’s rapid digestion and cult of personality.”
– Pitchfork”
