History

Kyle Bobby Dunn makes music that barely seems to move: long, softly bowed tones built from guitar, strings and tape, stretched until single chords become rooms to sit in. The Canadian composer came up in the 2010s wave of slow, patient drone, and his records stand out for how much sadness and warmth they carry without ever raising their voice. The album A Young Person's Guide to Kyle Bobby Dunn (2010) set the template: pieces that fade in from nothing, hold a cluster of notes for minutes, and fade out again, with the edges of the sound worn soft like an old photograph. Kyle Bobby Dunn and the Infinite Sadness (2014) pushed the same idea further across a sprawling runtime. His titles are often wry or self-mocking, which sits in quiet contrast with the gravity of the music. His music is recognisable by the absence of rhythm, the slow swell and decay of each tone, and a hushed, almost devotional stillness that owes as much to minimalist composition as to ambient guitar.
