In his return to Dronarivm five years since A Different Definition of Love, Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, presents his second-ever full-length, monolithic work at just over 79 minutes, continuing his quest to blur all lines of genre and definition just as the barriers between sleep and waking life –imagined and real – continue to break down and disappear further by the day… a life of consuming madness continuing its guise as grand artistic vision.

Recorded in 2020 in an attempt to face down a particularly inescapable loop of destructive mental illness made all the more undefeatable by the fact I was surrounded by people who not only couldn’t understand, but couldn’t care less. The closer they were, the further I was away…

Over the course of the six pieces on the album, bvdub’s signature melodic richness is on full display – beautiful and spine-tingling passages create huge expanses that engulf you entirely – and the range of dynamics is astonishing. From soft and peaceful to overwhelmingly powerful – this is music to take you to the deepest places – made by an enigmatic and special artist with an uncompromising vision.

quiet details has always been about total creative freedom for the artists I love to explore what it means to them – this album is a perfect example of that, a truly wonderful piece of music that reflects Brock’s personality and stays true to the ethos of the label, it’s an honour to be sharing it with you.

The latest by veteran Brock Van Wey’s renowned and illustrious alias, bvdub demonstrates aural patience that gradually unravels throughout this two and a half hour long player. Brock’s grandiose approach to sound creation has been incredibly influential for both the listener and fellow artists, acknowledging that only few can execute the open spaces and cerebral attentiveness that Van Wey illustrates so effortlessly. ‘Slowly Shifting Lakes’ is the manifestation of liberation not limitation, exploring the malleability of time.

Memories fade. But to fade is not to disappear. It is to live a thousand more lives, each different from the next. And it is in their ebb and flow that eternity resides. Memories of a life when we shouted our feelings from the rooftops without words. Memories of days we never let each other fall. Never let each other know the meaning of a broken heart.

On “Decades On Divided Stars” Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, presents his first album on Affin, each of its tracks spanning his trademark Odyssean length, with a sonic and emotional density second to none.

You are lost… losing your sense of time… of self. Yet finding your inner existence in its inwardly-folding galaxies. Your thoughts and emotions revolve, as planets caught in gravitational pull, before you suddenly awake, as if from a dream, unaware of how much time has passed. Only the stars will tell…

A decades-long disciple of Haruki Murakami, Brock Van Wey, better known as bvdub, has more than once melded the ideas of Murakami’s magical realism and its underlying teachings on loneliness, isolation, and the human condition into the fabric of his own work.

In a time, place, and set of circumstances that saw the hallucinatory set of events in Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore overlap Van Wey’s own already oft-chimerical “reality,” art and life traversed beyond imitation, their lines disappearing altogether. A time when life spun cruelly and beautifully out of control. A chaos which demanded as much stoic apathy as righteous, magnificent wrath.

This is the story of that time and place.

Brock Van Wey, aka bvdub, is undoubtedly among the greatest and most prolific artists in the world, whose music directly affects the heart, soul, and human mind. His soundscapes spread in the air as if they were delicate and slow movements of the northern lights, or the wind that blows on the flowers of the trees in spring. There is something divine in bvdub’s music, and Glacial Movements is more than honored to welcome another great work for the world, Ten Times the World Lied, his fifth album on the Roman label, as he nears forty overall. Ten songs impossible to describe in words, but which will breach the heart of all those who lose themselves in this sonic wonder. Completely devoid of vocals for the first time ever, Brock spins but layers upon layers of divine clouds, gradually darkening, gradually closing in – expertly mastered by the artist himself, culminating in arguably the best album he has composed for Glacial Movements to date.

I have insomnia. I take medication that makes me sleep. Without it I will not. It is a reality I came to terms with nearly fifteen years ago, after trying every other method possible for decades before, each more self-destructive than the last. It is part of who I am. Some people are born with a disease. An affliction the pure luck of the draw that is birth has bestowed upon them. For some reason insomnia, like anxiety, depression, or so many other matters of the mind, is deemed something that can simply be changed through sheer will. It is not. And no one, in their right mind or otherwise, would choose to put themselves through the inexplicable torment of not sleeping if they had the choice.

The last album I recorded while still living in China, before I took a very long sabbatical from music and the world as I attempted to grapple with an upcoming transformation of my life and world I’m still failing miserably at even approaching handling in a reasonably competent manner.
