Really great. Lovely Serge sounds with lot of randomness

Just got the CD: a wonderful suite of aleatoric ambient soundscapes.  Quite meditative and expansive.

very interesting sounds and an interesting calming atmosphere

well, of course it's mega awesome, like everything else you've done so far.

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.


Deep blue hues through hills,
Blurred is life or death to us,
We see ourselves now.
For we are nothing,
Nothing in everything,
Dreaming in deep blue.
I looked for you once,
Now I know you never tried,
I know you're not there.
Only hills remain,
Standing without sound or love,
Knowing all my pain.
Someday you will know,
Your own world in your dreams,
Hills of your design.
I can hear you there,
But I will never see you,
This is only me.
These hills brought me here,
Their blue brought me peace and end,
I am only them.

When I began composing my album "Everything Beautiful," I aimed for the listener to experience a sense of peace, whether they find themselves walking in the city or amidst the trees in the forest. Beauty surrounds us everywhere, whether gazing at the sky or diving into the ocean, as there is beauty beneath the water's surface. Let's strive to discover beauty within ourselves and the world around us. I hope my album brings you happiness wherever you are in life.

DiN49 | Ian Boddy | Tone Science

Ian Boddy, DiN label boss, is one of the best known names in UK electronic music. He has been releasing music for over 35 years as well as playing concerts, creating sound design and composing library music. Yet despite this long musical career he still manages to surprise his listeners and Tone Science could represent his most experimental album to date. For this release Boddy has returned to his musical roots where experimentation was the name of the game.

He has always been fascinated by the random qualities of natural phenomena such as streams, waves, the leaves on a tree or the clouds in the sky. Whilst they seem, on the one hand to always be the same, they are in fact constantly changing and their patterns never exactly repeat. With this thought in mind he set about creating soundscapes using controlled random systems that could self generate themselves using his analogue modular gear. The pitches of the notes in each piece were massaged into various musical scales by the use of note quantisers giving each of the tracks a distinct harmonic voice. The composition process was the creation of the patch itself and in fact he didn’t physically play anything at all at the recording stage. What you hear on these five pieces is the result of these complex interactions. Like the natural phenomena he describes above they appear to stay the same yet they never repeat and each has a distinct mood. By restricting his audio palette on this project to only his analogue modular instruments including vintage FX the pieces have a very pure, electronic nature. 

With “Tone Science” Boddy proves once again that he never rests in his personal musical journey. There are always new sonic territories to explore and for the adventurous listener this album opens up a whole new world of electronica to enjoy.

Tone Science Demo Mix

Ian Boddy has been at the forefront of the UK electronic music scene since 1983 when he both performed at the very first UK Electronica Festival in Milton Keynes and released his first vinyl album The Climb.

In the 4 years preceding this event he had been experimenting at an Arts Council funded studio in Newcastle whilst at University. His early work resulted in 3 cassette only releases on the Mirage label as well as several local concerts. These early tapes showed Boddy gradually forming his own style through a long self teaching process in the techniques of analogue synthesis and tape manipulation.

After the success of 1983 he went on to release another 2 vinyl albums, Spirits and Phoenix, as well as performing several concerts throughout the UK. However it wasn't until 1989 that his first CD release, Odyssey, came out on the EM label Surreal to Real. After Drive, his second release on the Surreal label Boddy formed his own record label, Something Else Records , through which he released a further 4 solo albums as well as reissuing his 3 early vinyl albums and the cassette only release Jade on CD. Furthermore he released three collaborative CD releases with some of Europes finest exponents of EM, namely Andy Pickford, Ron Boots and Mark Shreeve.

He continued to expand his concert appearences which have now surpassed over 100 events with concerts in the UK ( including several more UK Electronica appearances, two shows at the Jodrell Bank Planetarium & two at the National Space Centre), Holland ( five festival appearances ), Germany and three shows in Philadelphia, USA.

Alongside these mainstream EM activities Boddy has also built for himself a formidable reputuation as a sound designer having produced a series of sample CD's & virtual instruments for sampling specialists Time & Space. In late 2008 Boddy set up his own downloadable sample CD company with the Waveforms series of sample packs. Furthermore he is also involved in library music having composed 11 such CD's for the publishing company deWolfe as well as producing some music for a computer games company.

Thus we come up to the present with the formation of his DiN label in 1999. Unlike his private Something Else Records the DiN label was set up to allow Boddy to actively form different collaborations with a wide variety of musicians as well as release other artists music. DiN has achieved widespread critical acclaim for it's adventurous outlook at the world of EM and has seen 39 releases with Boddy being involved in 21 of these ( five solo and sixteen collaborative projects ). 

In 2008 DiN expanded it's catalogue with a series of download only releases featuring Boddy in concert both as a solo performer and with other DiN artists.
