chassis Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 So The Art of Dying alone was one of my top albums for the year. But someone recommended Return To Tonglu the other day. I started listening to it this morning, and woah! Ive literally had it on repeat the whole day. This sound is so good, never really heard anything like this style before. I love it. Only 4 tracks, but 4 tracks of bliss. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbq4dRkOp4Q Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide chassis's signature Hide all signatures Reveal hidden contents Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62999-bvdub/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Makinami Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 "White Clouds Drifts On And On" under his real name (Brock Van Wey) is one of my favorite albums of all time.

Guest Enter a new display name Posted January 15, 2011 Report Share Posted January 15, 2011 I remember recommending bvdub to you because you've made a lot of loop-based ambient music.

"Sanctuary" is my favorite ambient song of 2011 so far. thing is that i always found there was more than one interpretation of what ambient was trying to do. for me, it needs a musician's individual identity that i don't think a lot of people necessarily require. closest i've come in recent years is stuff like tim hecker. clearly it's not quiet as ambient would be described by many as being - but it's ambient in that it has a character of it's own that creates an unusual atmosphere over it's duration, of it's own accord. this, and i always found part of the experience in electronic forms of music was about the character that was added to it by the interest in the sounds that were being made - so a certain amount of decent recording is required to bring it to life, and i've not found that in a lot of stuff i've tried out in more recent times, which seems to try and hide behind the lo-fi aesthetic.

The Green Kingdom Posted January 18, 2011 Report Share Posted January 18, 2011 (edited) He's just my favorite right now, such an inspiration. Few can touch the type of atmospheres he creates imo. It's been great to get to (virtually) know him via email as well. Having him remix one of my tracks has been a major highlight to say the least! Don't sleep on We Were the Sun, right up there with his best...

See, I feel like White Clouds... really transcends its surface simplicity, not to mention its surface "cheesy-ness" (or new-age-y-ness, whatever you call it) to become something else altogether.

This new one is different though, the percussion completely moves away from his norm. More acoustic sounding, though there still is a bit electronic drums in there for good measure.

Danny O Flannagin Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Discovered this guy last night, amazingly emotional and therapeutic. Feels like a cathartic release of all the bad parts of yourself. Usually not that interested in ambient music that is overly emotional because it doesn't sound genuine to me, but i feel like bvdub really nails it and is masterful at evoking a particular emotion that he himself genuinely feels. I sort of feel this connection with the man, like I'm feeling what he's feeling. On a super critical note, his music does sound a bit too consistent but i don't mind because it all sounds good. Only listened to one of his albums, Don't Say You Know and would give it a 9.5/10. Have no idea where to go in his discography so recommendations always welcome.

Kooch Posted November 2, 2015 Report Share Posted November 2, 2015 He has just released a new album on bandcamp! Only 365 copies, hand numbered and signed. https://bvdub.bandcamp.com/ It is totally beautiful. Quote 365 copies, personally hand numbered, signed, and sealed in embossed gold foil. these will never be re-pressed or re-issued. no sound samples or streaming, please understand - this is the most involved, complete, and intense album i have ever made - over a two-year span, on two continents. this is, for me, the zenith of my ambient sound, and voice, to date. those who understand my sound, and my voice - i hope you can trust me, as i trust you. and that's who this is for. i'm asking you to take a leap of faith, and experience this as it should be - in its entirety, as it was meant to be - not flipped through and judged in 2-second intervals as you skip through sound samples or listen with half an ear while you're in your car, or at your friend's house.i take a leap of faith every time i put my heart and my life on my sleeve, for all to hear, and this time i ask you to do the same... together we can return music to being a true experience - not just a distraction.i am forever grateful for your trust and support.b] creditsreleased November 2, 2015 Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/62999-bvdub/#findComment-2386531 Share on other sites More sharing options...
