bvdub interview

So here's a guy who would probably scorn the concept of this blog and makes me feel like a sell-out. Brock Van Wey (bvdub) is an electronic artist who's known for ambient soundscapes. When you read what he has to say, you might think "Oh, this is B.S. They're asking him about his music and he's talking about his feelings and how most electronic music is 'soulless.'"

But if you actually listen to bvdub music, you'll understand exactly where he's coming from. It's some of the most moving, emotional work I've ever been lucky enough to come across. Listening to his music involves every part of you that makes you human-- it's more of a spiritual experience than a listening exercise.

It reminds me of how I felt when I was younger, being amazed at but somehow saddened by the beauty and mystery of this world. I miss that.
