Equal Weights
*200 copies limited edition* "On Equal Weights, Dutch sound artists Frans de Waard and Martijn Comes are tightening the bond of their collaboration without ever actually responding to each other.

Then, he sent them to Comes, who finished the “paintings” by filling in the blanks. What could have tur…

Synthesizers became affordable and were no longer the sole privilege of rock millionaires. All around the globe, musical creativity boomed as never be…
