Kyle Bobby Dunn - Bracebridge
How I had never heard of Kyle Bobby Dunn before I saw him at the Intransitive Recordings showcase on New Years Eve is beyond me. The guy fuckin blew my mind. Obviously, I went to the merch table to buy something, anything, that had his name on it. Holy fuck. I wasn't expecting this.
The Intimate Rituals Of Kyle Bobby Dunn is a piece of art. Literally. It's limited to 100 hand numbered copies, and every one consists of an abstract pen & ink drawing with a CD affixed to the back of it. And each one is drawn by hand (by Ashley Payne), entirely original, no duplicates or prints. No two are the same. You spend $20 and get an original piece of art along with Kyle Bobby Dunn's new release. Fucking WOW.
So the packaging is easily the most amazing packaging on anything I've ever owned but that's just the physical aspect of it. The music on Rituals is astounding. Dunn's weapon of choice is his laptop and he uses it to craft the most minimal twinkling engine whir wind drone ever. Listening to his music is like studying a canvas purposefully left blank. The canvas is beautiful and the longer you stare at it, the more beautiful it becomes. All of the tiny fibers weaving in and out, the seemingly solid color that shifts ever so slightly from thread to thread, these are the foundations that people use to create great art, but Dunn makes them the art itself.
This is some of the most nuanced and delicate drone I've ever heard. Listening to Rituals idly, or only giving it one of your ears is a severe mistake. It takes little to no effort to get immense joy out of this, just make sure it has your complete attention or you'll be doing both yourself and Dunn a great disservice.
The Intimate Rituals Of Kyle Bobby Dunn is the very first release from Songs From Under The Floorboards, a sub-division of Intransitive Recordings. Looks like it'll be a bit difficult to get ahold of, seeing how the label doesn't really have a proper web presence at the moment, but you could shoot Kyle an e-mail and he might be able to hook you up. And trust me, you want to get hooked up.
P.S. Watch out for the gator feedback attack at the end. He's pretty nasty.

I got 2/100.
A beautiful way to present this kind of sound art / coercive drones.
Where did you buy it? I can neither find any place that sells it - nor arethere any traces that point to a place that used to sell it ...
Anon, try contacting either Kyle Bobby Dunn or Howard Stelzer (the owner of Intransitive). They're both supremely nice dudes and if they have any copies left, I'm sure they'd be happy to sell you one.
Kyle Bobby is the best one in the neo-classical based drone music, so I love this kind of music because we can make a lot of parties and enjoy the life, so I love the electronic music"!!!
I bought it from ebay :P
This music is something different I was looking for something like that, I mean something that made to change my mentality and finally I got it, for me it has been one of the best albums I've heard.
Just got my copy of the re-release. Pressing play soon.. excited as with everything Kyle has released.
