Yves De Mey

Yves de Mey is an electronic music producer whose work stretches between detailed ambient sounds, abstract rhythmic constructions, techno and noise, blending influences and breaking genre rules. He has produced music for theater, performance, contemporary dance and film, and also plays heavy techno under the alias Grey Branches and works with Peter van Hoesen as Sendai. On his newly released album "Drawn with Shadow Pens" he has found a great balance between his interests, presenting an intricately textured blend of harsh, grainy sounds.

Grid Ravage
‘Grid Ravage’s debut album for Dropa Disc sounds organic, just like their live performances, with the music being born on the spot. The tight drumming of Louis Evrard (Ottla), the razor-sharp cello of Gino Coomans (Sheldon Siegel) and the permeating electronics of Yves De Mey naturally flow into each other. The result is a strikingly versatile and accessible record, on which the tension is built up in every track, until it’s not clear anymore who’s being followed around by whom. In this way, th…
Bleak Comfort
One of Belgium’s premier sound artist/designers shapes up the remarkable Bleak Comfort as his 3rd solo album, and first with discerning Parisian label Latency, who’ve previously proffered aces by Bellows, Robert Aiki Aubrey Lowe, Nuel, Madteo a.o.In Bleak Comfort, as the title suggests, Yves De Mey takes solace from aesthetic. It locates the arch sound explorer pushing his interdimensional electro-acoustic praxis in probing new ways, finer entangling their putative dichotomy of dynamics to an in…
Late-Night Patching 1
Belgium’s Yves De Mey strikes clean and sharp with four modular rave prongs for Entr’acte, leading a jagged dance after his recent 2nd album, 'Drawn With Shadow Pens' for Spectrum Spools. In De Mey’s own words: “Late-Night Patching is the result of a short test phase with modular software, mimicking traditional synth modules. A very basic 8-step sequencer setup was patched and used to its full extent for all these tracks. There’s something nostalgic about this EP, and not only in its recre…
Drawn With Shadow Pen
Antwerp-based synthesist and sound-sculptor Yves de Mey presents Drawn with Shadow Pens, following previous outings on a slew of renowned labels such as Modal Analysis, Semantica, Opal Tapes, his own Archives Intérieures imprint with Sendai partner Peter van Hoesen, and the now-defunct Sandwell District. Drawn with Shadow Pens is a testament to the gifted musician's incredible engineering talents. "Prelament" sets the album off with a dense fog of acrobatic waveform maneuvers slowly shapesh…
Lichtung
Lichtung captures the experimental sound score for a dance solo performed by Catherine Jodoin and choreographed by Antoine Effroy & Anne Rudelbach. A year on from the piece’s premiere at Kampnagel in Hamburg, the dependably brilliant Line label releases the audio, as conceived by Brussels-based electronic artist Yves De Mey. The thirty-five minute composition begins with a quiet high frequency drone, but within just a couple of minutes the austere hiss opens up to reveal a less elu…
