What makes these tracks and moments so interesting isn't the glacial pacing, but rather the absence of an underpin to those traditionally joyous chords there is no arpeggiated bass or big kick drums or a trippy vocal sample. At its most interesting, it sounds like a screwed and chopped trance or opiate EDM anthemic synths are slowed down and. Suddenly, the haze lifts to reveal a cosmic bliss, with waves of textured pads sweeping you up to float in the ether. At other moments, a Huerco-like smog descends on things, as woozy synths take hold and obscure the small sounds and details happening. Check out "06", as it's gentle music box sound makes it feel like the perfect song to fall asleep to, the highest compliment here at Pound for Pound. At times, it harkens back to Selected Ambient Works-era Aphex Twin, with soft keyboard notes and simple patterns looping in and around one's head. While I am not a bvdub scholar by any means, this one seems to eschew his recent tendency to compose long, hour-plus tracks, condensing those epics into 3 and 4-minute miniatures.Īcross the range of 19 tracks, there are a few distinct templates that emerge. Befitting its digital beginnings, it is an album that is stuffed to the gills, featuring 19 tracks and 1 hour and 20 minutes of music. Sound of Silence stepped in and gave this one the physical release it deserved. This record was actually self-released digitally by Van Wey in September of last year in spite of its recent vintage and digital only status, it has garnered a good deal of acclaim, landing on Rafael Anton Irisarri's superb #NOT THE BEST AMBIENT ALBUMS OF ALL TIME list that compiled some of the genre's essential releases. Right on cue, bvdub’s recently dropped Yours Are Stories of Sadness, a fittingly melancholic title for the emo chill king. While we tend to love the artists and works that imagine or interact with physical space, bvdub reminds us that ambient music is just as powerful when it explores those inner, mental spaces. One of the great appeals to me of bvdub’s music is its ability to conjure up neither the darkness nor the tranquility that ambient usually evokes instead, a sadness and melancholy emerges from his tracks, two emotions that ambient music is not known for, but which we need spaces for as well. While it was used as the reason why someone didn’t want to listen to his music, I thought of it as a great little blurb to make people want to listen. As he described it, bvdub’s music feels like the soundtrack for the period after your pet has passed away.
It’s funny, as I had just recently said to myself that I should do a few posts focused on the work of bvdub, after hearing one of his tracks on Sam Hockley-Smith’s Discreet Music, his excellent RBMA Radio show. It wasn't until a move to China last decade that he began to make his own music, picking up the ambient techno thread that the 1990s Bay Area helped define. For those that don't know, bvdub is the moniker of Brock Van Wey, a San Francisco based producer who began as a DJ in the early SF rave scene. This second CD from the December batch takes the microlabel into the bigger time, featuring one of the better known and most prolific artists in the ambient music world today, bvdub.

I'm working on putting something a little bigger together on SIS, so in the meantime I wanted to take a look at the label's other recent release to go along with Andrew.
