Title Of Album: A History Of Distance
Year Of Release: 2 sep 2014
Label: n5MD / MD231
Genre: Ambient
Quality: MP3
Bitrate: 320 kbps
Total Time: 01:18:03
Total Size: 177 mb

Tracklist:
1. Everything Between You And Me (20:09)
2. Silver Alters Run To Rivers (22:47)
3. Ghosts Of What We Once Were (20:09)
4. A History Of Distance (15:05)

Physical distances are there for all to see, but the longer, seemingly insurmountable distances are, to outside eyes, invisible. They linger in the silent gaps, in the deadened pause, afflicting two lovers with its rose-scented disease. The distance hurts because it’s close to the heart, and yet the relationship finds itself exiled to the soul’s Sahara. In the physical world, no distance like it is known; it would be futile, impossible even, to get a true reading.

A break-up, a failing friendship or a long running feud are all scented with the same poison, creating dissonant distances around the world. It can rip a relationship apart, beyond saving. A History of Distance reflects this struggle in a world where, despite good intentions and diplomatic efforts, conflict is rife. Long distance relationships can work, but they require some serious work, and the percentages don’t look good. A phone call can’t replace a hug. Distances are subjective; Paris is in another country, another continent, yet from this island it’s only a couple of hours away via the channel tunnel or just 40 minutes away in the air. On the coast of south east England, you can see lights hovering, with signs of people, of European civilization, on the other side. It’s so tantalizingly close, yet so far away.

Sure, bvdub is prolific. He’s appeared more regularly than the word “shark” has on the shockingly bad yet highly watchable movies that appear on the Syfy channel. bvdub takes us across calm seas, without a sharknado or a ghost shark in sight, sailing across the deep blue on serene synths. Van Wey’s music gives you an instant high. The synths are beautiful, but they’re shot through with sad feelings; seeing her smile is a beautiful thing, but when it’s for the last time you can’t help but feel your heart deflating.

Van Wey’s music is an uncharted place, a Bermuda triangle that reels us inside, somewhere between paradise and mournful longing. We all pass through. Some people remain lost, trapped in the blackened murk of their personal, submerged thoughts; sad shipwrecks that bulge with the detritus of dreams that, for one reason or another, never worked out. The atmosphere pulls and tugs, unable to let go, begging her to come near. The male vocal swirls beside the female vocal in an opaque dance of courtship, but it is hazy, like a prom night washed of its memory by a fountain of punch. The usual rhythmic backbone is as strong as ever, but as we’ve seen in the past, it can take up to 10 minutes before the gates open and we fly without wings. Two distinct elements – the padded beats and the golden harmony – become one, both crazy and cool.

Watery synths send the listener to cloud nine, only to dump a desperate vocal amid the white, fluffy clouds, bringing the atmosphere down until it crashes into the hopelessness of the gutter. Van Wey’s subtle melancholy has been around for a while, but in the past it’s been masked by the high BPM. On A History Of Distance, what had once held the anguish back has now disappeared, and not even the skip of a garage-inflected beat can jolt the music out of its lull, pluck it from this pretty thorn of sadness. The padded beat, instead of pushing the music through, is a wall that stops us from the promise of love. We lie on either side, palms touching against its great divide. Separation hurts. Lost looped lyrics flutter in the light, swirling halfheartedly, facing a seemingly dead end. Tunnels and airports connect millions of people, but it can’t connect us. The coda, “A History of Distance”, attempts to carry on, its heavy breaks eventually arriving to bring some kind of acceptance, some kind of first aid, with its kindly resolution; you poured out the sunshine when it began to rain.

Don’t let the music’s beauty fool you – she screams at the way of things, at the gap between the two lovers, between you and me. It leaves us as ghosts; ghosts of what we once were. Now, all that’s left is a tree without its leaves. bvdub stretches out his music magestically, the harmony swaying and then tearing in an infinite war between the palpable tension and the relief of the release. The vacant branch stretches out its arm, calling out across the distance, a crying statue that can’t grasp the dream.; it’s rooted to the ground. bvdub’s music has always had a touch of euphoria, a phoenix rising, but his music has a sensitive side, too. After all, Brock Van Wey’s home in China is a long way from America.

The first thing that strikes you about the new Red Snapper album is how much the band have raised their game. There’s no reason why bands shouldn’t get better over time, it’s just that a lot of names don’t stay hungry and creative. To start with it’s a great idea; an album inspired by the band’s recent soundtrack for cult 70s Senegalese road movie “Touki Bouki” – the first independent African film which was recently restored by Martin Scorcese and which is first and foremost an afro-funk odyssey in itself. Red Snapper have toured with the film for a year, playing the soundtrack live to audiences across Europe; themes from the score having been developed and extended to form Hyena. Hitting the studio at the end of this long haul on the road has delivered a super-tight energized performance, reminiscent of a 1970’s approach to recording. And the 70’s are all over this soundtrack, combining beautifully with a cutting edge futuristic musicality that sets Red Snapper apart. Hyena is a reflection of Red Snapper’s work over the last two decades. They don’t just pull it off, they make it sound easy, and that must be the result of touring hard before putting the tracks to tape. This is more than a soundtrack….. Hyena is a timeless, African influenced album which has as much to do with the future as it has the past.

The new album from alternative music veterans Tape marks their 14th year of activity. It’s called Casino and was recorded in the legendary Atlantis studio in Stockholm by engineer Janne Hansson in December 2013. The music of Tape still continues it’s growth, in it’s own way, separated from the rest of the world in many ways. This time the emotional depth and interest in details are even stronger and clearer. The album has been mixed by Andreas Werliin and mastered by Mell Dettmer.

TRS043 is the feature full length album from Russian duo, Daydreamer. Entitled “Camus”, it is an homage of sorts to the great French existentialist writer of the same name. Like the band name suggests, it’s a dreamy mix of melodic post rock ambiance, and serves as a sort of soundtrack to the road movie that Albert Camus lived… and died on…

This release comes as usual in two versions. The first limited version, in an edition of 90 copies, comes in the form of a multi page booklet that is hinged in the corner and fans open into an abstract mandala of sorts. The cover photo is printed on sheer Japanese tissue paper, and is hand adhered and shredded… The pages are printed on super heavyweight Moab paper, and are punched, collaged, sewn, stamped, doodled, and in general hand worked as usual. The back of the pages are a spray stenciled daydream of their own! Hanging from the front corner of each booklet is a little capped vial containing most of a Gauloises cigarette… the brand that Camus obsessively smoked until the end… feel free to light it up, listen, and start a daydream of your own! Each booklet comes in a 6″square, spray painted, punched and stamped translucent envelope.

Finally…a new mini disc release! TRS042 will be a 4 track release from Guy Gelem, entitled, “Reappearance”. This is a lovely blend of electronically treated cello music…and as Guy himself says…”As are most of my previous releases… this work isn’t a result of any proper plan…but after coming up with a few ideas I decided to work only with the cello this time, and to create music that is influenced from the classical world from all the periods. Music that sounds both raw and natural, and yet melodic. I’m always trying to tell a story that even I’m not familiar with, or to paint something that I’ve never seen before. I let the music I compose express my inner feelings, the feelings that even I haven’t confronted yet.”

“British musician Jo Johnson’s debut solo album for Further Records, Weaving, betokens an exciting presence in the world of minimalist composition.

“Ancestral Footsteps” opens the LP with cascades of cyclical harp-like sounds, an homage to one of Johnson’s primary inspirations: Alice Coltrane. Channelling rigorous new age and mesmerizing Riley-esque/Reichian minimalism, the piece accrues heft and intensity, with occasional bursts of synthetic, tribal clapping until it fades out with cinematic flourish. The title track gradually alters simple guitar and keyboard phrases, along with a chiming motif that multiplies in a hall of mirrors. The disorientating arpeggios form moiré patterns against colossal bass notes. The mood lightens considerably with “Words Came After Music,” whose sweeping strings and drones could take you to whatever your idea of heaven is. Interestingly, the title of the piece is inspired by an anthropological theory Johnson stumbled across that musical ability predates language in humans. With its sombre, undulating synths and lustrous highs and lows, “In the Shadow of The Workhouse” plumbs profound emotional depths. Epic closer “Silver Threads” starts as an almost silent retreat in the vein of Laurie Spiegel’s Appalachian Grove or Eno and Budd’s The Pearl with the faint hum and buzz of telegraph wires, until four minutes in a stoic pulse and suspenseful chiming motif arise, buttressed by glowing synth sighs and the LP’s only percussive thumps (think Incunabula era Autechre).

While inspired by the “serious music” of Arvo Pärt, Wim Mertens and others, Johnson’s mandalas of tone mantras offer a playful, DIY sense of adventure, as you might expect from the former guitarist for incendiary punk group Huggy Bear and a long-term co-organizer of London’s Bleep43 techno club night and label. Weaving condenses Johnson’s long love affair with free jazz, minimalism and electronic music and this unique ambient composition is invested with powerful emotional resonance.”

San Francisco-based artist Christopher Willits first came onto my radar with his video tutorials on Ableton Live — thanks Chris, those were super helpful. From those clips, it was obvious that Willits had a serious passion for music, technology, and video. So it’s not surprising that his latest LP for Ghostly, OPENING, combines those loves into an “immersive audio-visual project.”

Using seven ambient tracks, seven scenes of visuals shot around the world, and seven photographic prints, OPENING follows Willits’ recent production help on Tycho’s Awake (another mega-chill producer on the Ghostly roster) with his own multimedia experience. “There are no actors or dialogue in this film,” explains Willits. “The audience and their perception is the main character, and everyone’s imagination is going to create some meaning that’s relevant to their own experience.” Like stoner TV favorite Planet Earth or the most incredible screensaver you’ve ever dreamed of, OPENING looks to be a meditative trip through the dreamiest moments of Willits’ recent life. His travels, his music, and his cinematic visuals are pretty damn relaxing.

In addition, exclusive content will slowly be released through Willits’ Drip.fm page; more details about the new member-based platform can be found here. Until OPENING drops on September 2, the trailer for the project and “CLEAR” (the second scene/track) can both be watched below. That water looks pretty glassy, dudes.
