5 minutes until dawn
For the past 2 months I’ve been craving ambient music for some strange reason. This is a first for me, I can only guess its the mild gray winter weather hitting us and maybe my deep opiate binges ruining my life. Ambient I especially dig is the techy based stuff because of its ghostly sterilized white surgical-safe synthetic pads and bass that usually accompany it. My personal favorite track i have found so far has got to be ‘Will you know where to find me’ by BVDUB.(his site offers free 80min bvdub mixes) This was the last track featured on the Pop Ambient 2010 collection. The track is over 17 minutes of slow sympathizing chords and evolving soundscape made mostly of blissful guitars strumming and haunting voices, reverbed-out until clean and sterile. I keep on coming back to this one, and personally think its his best track so far. It sounds like the sunrise if you were in some fantastic weird marble castle courtyard covered in English Ivy, thorny vines with purple flowers all waving in the wind. It would only make sense in a dream. The castles sparkling marble hallways are matte white and appear to almost glow as the sun rises. Slowly the track changes from pitch black, to purple, red, to bright orange. It’s a really beautiful track.
