‘Phantom Brickworks’ compiles tracks recorded over a ten year period, linked by their ability to evoke atmospheres of places with a hidden past.
“I don’t believe in ghosts but I do believe places can be haunted by meaning. Places change, not always for the better and not always by natural, benevolent or politically sound means. A place can be charged with atmosphere because of what it has been through or what it has been.
Phantom Brickworks is a collection of mostly improvised musical pieces, that for some years now, have provided me with a mental portal into places and times - some real, some imaginary, some a combination of both. Human beings are highly sensitive to the atmospheres of places, which can be enhanced or dramatically altered when you learn about the context of their history. Echoes and voices can sometimes be heard, in some way or another. Places sometimes have things to say.”

Capel Celyn is this decade's Stone in Focus. :)
*I like to imagine this is what a bears dream sounds like, deep in an abyss of 6 month sleep, hidden underground in their dark and dank cave den, a family of bears all warm together lay down, and this is what they hear.*
there''s a story about capel celyn. it was a village in north wales that got flooded to create a reservoir for supplying liverpool with water. Plaid cymru tried to stop it but they couldn't. Exactly 40 years later, Liverpool City Council issued an apology for Tryweryn, stating: "We realise the hurt of 40 years ago when the Tryweryn Valley was transformed into a reservoir to help meet the water needs of Liverpool.
"For any insensitivity by our predecessor council at that time, we apologise and hope that the historic and sound relationship between Liverpool and Wales can be completely restored."
cofiwch dreweryn.
Buru Llwyd how long ago did that happen?

Andrew DeLong thanks Andrew.
Wow
Fantastic post. I wish more people would use the Comments sections for this sort of goodness.
Well I don't know about you guys, but I'm crying my eyes out how beautiful this song is.
This song is about a welsh village that was drowned in the 1960s to create a reservoir for Liverpool against the will of the village inhabitants and wales.
This song puts me in a meditative state; feels like it gives me all the focus and peace in the world.

how u kno this?
I like where he’s going. It’s where he’s at. It’s just a snapshot in an everlasting wave of time. I like the way this piece makes me feel. You can’t please fans, where’s the art in that?!. Someone will always compare and someone will always have attachments. This is perfect, in every way. Repeat.
Well said.
agreed!
Damn, that's a solid interpretation! "Just a snapshot in an everlasting wave of time." I don't know what to make of this composition, it's somehow haunting and calming at the same time.
If they made a new Silent Hill game with Bibio producing the music, I'd be okay with that.
i was thinking this too!
At 35 years old, I never thought I'd hear a ambient record like I did when I was a kid listening to all those records that are now known classics. Thank you!
bibio can do no wrong, the track goes perfectly with pictures don't they. the amazing underwater shot with the church and graves gave me the chillies
Pair the somber melody with the wonderful footage and the knowledge of the track's title.. makes for a beautiful and harrowing experience.
That shot of the submerged graveyard gave me actual chills..
I keep somehow getting reminded of this track and coming back to this over and over again
my favourite bibio album ever since it came out
There is something profoundly unsettling about the first scene in this video. I believe it is because the camera height and FOV is roughly that of the human eye, making you feel as though you are truly in that setting moving towards the stairs. The feeling of no control, accompanied by this fantastic music makes for an incredible experience

When you first hear a Bibio track:
How could anyone Play the same notes for 10 or 15 minutes?
After the first song:
How do I set this to loop forever?
Human brains like repetition
Steve Roach or William Basinski besides others have done similar minimalistic ambient tracks...Thom Brannan...so much incredible ambient music out there these days. Reminds me of Also Die
Intellectually refreshing, totally aligned with Squarepusher and Aphex Twin ambient styles. Bravo.
After so many years I am going to retract my words: what a beautiful tune you managed to extract while living in a cold & war-torn world. That takes a lot of spiritual skill to accomplish. Congratulations!
there's something so refreshing and damn alluring about impersonal music. the kind that doesn't feel made for you as much as it seems to have been transcribed by the artist, spoken to by something apparently beyond themselves, but also embedded in them. A sharp contrast to mainstream pop, caught up in interpersonal dramas and dramas of self (not to invalidate those dramas in general, buuuut...)
Well said
I totally understand why BoC are fans of Wilkinson’s work; it’s meditative, transcendental, and completely his own sound. Will be buying this LP for sure.
I adore the last 3 minutes of this piece. The ghosts of time
I first herd Bibio on Spotify and i have to say he’s one of the best No only does he sing but he played guitar,violin,piano and he also mixes all his own music and did i mention he’s one of the best musicians I’ve-ever heard
Every now and then I come back here. Amazing piece. Guess I just found out another great artist.
one of the finest records of the year, hands down
blissful. very william basinski-like.
Its amazing how well this song correlates to the video and the description
it's a gift. visually and musically
The vibe is surreal
I have been at this place many times. it's a weekday miners village in the electric mountain in snowdonia Wales, at least that's the thumbnail

Sometimes this one hits me more than anything in SAWII did.
Gorgeous song. Gorgeous filming.
Incredible location.
Oh, you're here

Masterpiece..
I couldn't believe it the beginning that Bibio released an ambient album.
I am fond of the ambient music and also it is my choice of creation most of the time in my home studio. I just had a good rehearsing of the album the previous Sunday. It is stunning.
I am a fan of Bibio for years and I support the opinion of embracing his every work because he is an excellent musician and he never did bad/shit music.
If some of you guys do not like ambient.. Then the game is lost.
make me human again
Hhhh this descriptionn I can totally feel it, I dont even have the words to describe this piece of art.
Favorite song of the album.
Beautifully shot. Been loving this album and all of your other work Bibio! Come to the US!
This is probably because I've been playing too much of it lately - but the buildings and landscapes gave me a strong Dark Souls vibe. Some of the shots are a perfect realisation of the world. Beautiful stuff.
song and architecture has a very ds1 vibe
Ico vibe to me.
Praise the Sun! Therefore, try finger
why is dark souls the only game anyone has played in 2017
99tropix nicely put 👌
SAWII must be like "FINALLY. A WORTHY OPPONENT, OUR BATTLE WILL BE LEGENDARY!' xD
the track and the video, absolutely perfect.
a beautiful track that doesn't sound like a regular bibio track! gorgeous!
Bibio is a brilliant story teller able to capture snapshots and moments that will stay with you forever 😔
Thank you for this moment.
wonderful visually and audibly. beautiful ,haunting. memories, dreams, deja vu....we are more than we know
A truly beautiful video to accompany the interesting music.
Peace
This is just like passing away after a poisoned kiss, gently.
Loving the Basinski vibe
Wow that old mine is stunningly beautiful. Just like this chilled track
Are you talking about the 'Stone tape theory' by any chance. This music brings the atmosphere out of the visuals of old places perfectly. You can almost feel it, even by not being there. OLD buildings do store amounts of energy up, over the decades, soaked in emotion.
Warp simply won't release one single bad thing.. Ever
I cry everytime
🤝
simply stunning
Wow this is so beautiful.
In everyway
basinski x tarkovsky
I never even made the connection to Tarkovsky, wow I totally see it !
Bibio this is a masterpiece, I love you
i love bibio
I like how the ending of Capel Celyn is like it's own prelude to Phantom Bricks in a way
Capel Celyn was a welsh village that was drowned in the 1960s to create a reservoir for Liverpool against the will of the village inhabitants and wales.
The Capel Celyn (Celyn chapel) that the Village was named after was knocked down and it’s bricks were reused to create a memorial chapel nearby.
Absolutely incredible.
Avete un clima meraviglioso, campagne e paesaggi da capogiro,una moneta tutta vostra. Vi invidio.....
A timeless work by Bibio.Nothing needed in addition.
Thank you, I enjoyed it very much.
Nice atmosphere, the music and the visuals.
Sos el sinónimo de arte,nunca pares.
awesome. wish it was in 4K.
interesting...at 6:06 the cemetery...if this is recent footage someone has some explaining to do...none of the headstones are supposed to be standing......originally relatives were given the option of having the dead exhumed and reburied, 8 took up the offer and the rest were left, before the area was flooded the cemetery was supposed to have the headstones laid flat, then gravel laid over it followed by concrete....it was never carried out.......in the 1990s due to draught, the village became visible and the work was supposed to have been carried out.....remarkable to think although the water is treated for use....theres still dead bodies under the water...and people are using it.
mind-blowing
very beautiful, thanks
brickworks is a godlike record. hoping he pursues this style for a bit longer.
i was sold on the 3sec youtube preview.
William Basinski.
The life is a symphony no limit !!!
Feels like a vr journey guided by Millais on his way to paint Ophelia
wouhou a new bibio, so excited
His music in the last few years has really reminded me of the game The Witness.
amazing textures
Thanks for making music hermano!
Everything Bibio does is fucking gorgeous
A fine art piece by Bibio
very Boardsy... loving it
"Inside Deep Beautiful ~ Bringing This World Alive"
Excellent video.
This is proper spooky.
Looks like the various abandoned slate mines around Blaenau and the Croesor valley.
This reminds me somewhat of Popol Vuh's soundtrack for Aguirre.
So amazing, Bibio is a master of ambient
track strongly feels like rhubarb by aphex twin
it's rhubarb's sillage
I was thinking of this ruclips.net/video/ObdZ8lhC0f0/видео.html
Pretty sure Aphex twin grew up in Cornwall.
!!!
Sean same universe
Masterpiece
Massive 'off the grid' Respect
Foreboding beauty.
stunning photos :O
Hermoso track 💙
great track
Anyone who doesn't know the story - check it here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Capel_Celyn Great psychogeographic concept. I love this type of music and had no idea Bibio would be able to do it so well. I knew the story of Capel Celyn before, and found this song by searching it idly on my phone. Afterwards, I drove from London to Capel Celyn - now Lyn Celyn - and blasted this from the car the whole way. I knew the whole story and had heard some people describe it as peaceful - what a joke. I ran into a slightly odd old guy there. I pissed in the reservoir. The truth is - that place is crackling with a sad, dark energy.
Amazing
Kawał dobrej muzyki i obrazu.
Phantom Brickworks album review: inverted-audio.com/review/bibio-phantom-brickworks/
what type of camera device is this ?
4:18 what is that red light?
What are the locations of the footages?Thanks
I fuck with this heavy. Good looks Bibio.
this reminds me of p.v. so good!
Some William Basinski vibe here...
Seems like Stephen Wilkinson is a talented filmmaker as well. Does anybody know how he was able to shoot this?
I thought this was made with Unity at the start! Real life and what we can simulate on screen are becoming the same.
