Bas Van Huizen
Waanzintraan
Second album for the label, composed in China where van Huizen was based. Waanzintraan extends his investigation into what he calls 'the harmony of noise': not noise as genre signal but as aesthetic and visceral material, deployed within often consonant frames. The piece weaves processed field recordings from Shanghai and Xi'an into a sustained electronic discourse of contrasts, where harsh and resonant matter coexist within a unified compositional logic, on the ambient-noise threshold.
Kulverzuchter
Bas van Huizen's third album for the label, and the point at which he turns explicitly toward the minimal and the ambient after the visceral noise of Kluwekracht and Waanzintraan. Kulverzuchter is hazy, ambiguous and understated: textures toned down and surface less layered, with most of the activity unfolding just beneath. Track titles are absurd compound Dutch neologisms; the artwork was made entirely from his daughter's first drawings. A study in subtle contradiction within an ambient frame.
