Bleep

But a er a turbulent year of change and loss, Dunn took a moment away from helping others realize their visions and channeled his energies into his rst solo e ort, Beloved. “It was an echo of what I was feeling for a few years in life... like stasis, like something needed to give,” Dunn says.

Across seven tracks, Dunn explores the various textures and composi onal possibili es o ered by an array of early digital and analogue synthesizers. The gentle encouragement of Eyvind Kang and Johann Johannsson, and the a rming crea ve contribu ons by past collaborators like Timm Mason, Frank Fisher (Algiers), and Zola Jesus were all crucial to the birth of Beloved, but the original seed for the project was planted by gureight label head Shahzad Ismaily who promised Dunn an outlet if he could see the endeavor through. The promise is ful lled by the 2018 release of Beloved on vinyl and digital formats via gureight.
