   About Wes Willenbring

Aquarius Records says: "…gorgeous wet windshield smears, sparkling with muted colors, glistening and glimmering, it's the music of light reflecting off wet pavement, the sound of trees heavy with snow and ice, of home movies of long car trips, of out of focus landscapes from the past. Melodies that creep and drift, gradually growing heavier and heavier, the clouds gathering, until it's a slow drive through thick fog, shapes and sounds barely visible…. Imbued with warmth, emotion, hidden melody, dark secrets, the songs may end up adrift on a glimmering black sea, but they began on the shore, within site of home and family, gradually moving farther and farther away, the familiar fading away, slipping slowly into the unknown. Absolutely gorgeous...”

Losing Today says: “Sublimely statue-esque guitar and piano treatments are what are on offer…noire-ish scores, deliciously delicate, darkly romantic and teased with a sense of profound loss. All at once beguiling, bewitching and enchanting, these shy eyed and timid brief though hurting suites appear like impromptu though thought lost memories the type of which are fleetingly rekindled by a smell or a sensation identifying directly to one’s past…sumptuous stuff.”

Angry Ape says: "The music here slowly unfurls, while layers of differing melodies are carefully added... Dripping with melancholic guitar work, each note and tone is deliberately placed....It is hard to pinpoint exactly what places one ambient album over the next, but with "Somewhere Someone Else" you can make no mistake...Within seconds you become immersed in its thick, liquid sounds. It becomes apparent that the only way to experience this album properly is through your headphones and at full volume...It's hard to pick a favourite track here, such is the quality of each composition. Every single track provides an alluring listen and Willenbring's meticulous attention to detail catapults this album ahead of its peers."

Wes, your CD has put me in touch with my inner Atman. It has led me to finally refute the nihilistic opinions of Buddhists everywhere. The sounds you create are the sounds of Brahman itself, and no doctrine of emptiness can convince me otherwise.

Seriously, it's beautiful

Dear Wes, sorry I have been silent for so long. I will be buying your album as soon as I can. I have already listened to it a million and a half times, but I'm sure it will be much better on my discman.

Wes,
        Greetings from Southern California. I would like to come visit you when I get out of school. Call up the Italian supermodels and tell them that I'm on my way to paint the town red.
