In just
a few years and with a handful of releases, the Canadian producer better known
as Yves Malone has earned himself a
reputation. In The Beginning of Nothing he continues working with many layers
of analog synths and a keen sense of drum machines to create atmospheres and
textures extracted from late twentieth-century collective fears of a dystopian
future. Created as a sort of score to an internal elegy, Yves Malone creates soundtracks of the daily fear, regret, and
resignation that is his waking life, an effort to isolate and negate this
anxiety, which is a constant and unwanted companion. Sequenced on mostly
working vintage gear, The Beginning of Nothing tries to
extricate a bit of beauty from a rapidly darkening landscape.
