The Hex of Light
Long-form duo work by Jon Wesseltoft and Lasse Marhaug, ongoing since 2008 as an investigation into psycho-acoustics and the phenomenology of sustained sound. The Hex of Light, recorded in 2013, consists of two stringently close-knitted pieces built …
Not Knowing
Costa Monteiro's fifth solo accordion album, and the one in which he deliberately reverses his earlier recording strategy. Where previous works placed microphones almost inside the instrument to foreground materiality, structure and deconstruction, N…
Horizontal Alliances, Vertical Conflicts
Nine years after Play Cat's Cradle, Rose and Sandy return to the same ecclesiastical source - here an auto-harp from the same convent - for a second extended collaboration, again played and processed live. The album divides into nine spectral bands f…
Obscurum per oscurius
The Latin title - 'explaining the obscure by means of the more obscure' - frames a collection of drones composed by Kouw across an extended period, in which the initial moments of inspiration are deliberately obscured in the final material. Long-form…
Siticidelhous
Companion volume to Parkustomnie, drawn from the same 2016 sessions at the Conservatorio Jesús Guridi in Vitoria-Gasteiz. Guionnet (church organ) and García (electronics) again use volume as a compositional variable: the music is engineered so that a…
Terreng
Long-form duo work between Balázs Pándi (percussion) and Jon Wesseltoft (electronics), shaped as an open landscape of contrasts articulating space in both time and depth. The two players alternately trade and merge their instrumental identities, gene…
Breach
Zeno van den Broek's most aggressive work for the label, framed around chaotic systems and the energetics of protest and riot. Sine waves, noise and grid logics from his architectural-conceptual practice are pushed into pitch-black metal-electronic t…
2
Second half of a two-part album by Mens and Kouw, recorded live in studio in December 2014 and following directly from the first volume. The two long-form pieces extend the duo's pursuit of precisely tuned analogue synthesis: deep, warm drone fields …
Piano Music
Two short pieces built from piano recordings made by Orphax at De Ruimte in Amsterdam Noord during summer 2017. The 7-inch marks a deliberate break with his usual drone vocabulary, foregrounding more openly melodic ambient writing and treating the pi…
Onder/Stroom
Title and concept play against Extrapool's short-lived Zonder Stroom programme (performances entirely without electricity). One bleak winter afternoon the trio decided to do the inverse, using every keyboard, synthesizer and piece of electronics they…
Crystalline Tragedies / The Procession - Distant Motionless Shore
An unusual collective release: Comes and Aldinucci composed their two pieces in complete isolation, exchanging neither studio time nor materials, but both worked from the same Nietzschean opposition - the moral codex of the Christian church against t…
Transmutation
Two long-form pieces forgoing melody and rhythm in favour of pure texture. René Aquarius works in a register adjacent to Thomas Köner's darker drone music: a metallic sheen distributed across slowly shifting masses, gestures held to the minimum, ever…
Dwaal / Wold +
Originally released by Ghent's Dauw tape label in 2016 and quickly sold out, here reissued on CD with two new interpretations added. The original is a pair of eighteen-minute pieces: Dwaal layers orchestral washes against radio static and erratic noi…
Smelter
Second album by DNMF, the duo formed between Machinefabriek and the Dutch droning free-jazz combo Dead Neanderthals. Across some forty minutes Smelter develops a highly dynamic amalgam of metal, drone and dark ambient, the heaviness of the Neandertha…
Amsterdam CS
Cinema Perdu turns the spaces of Amsterdam Centraal Station - the roofs, the three access tunnels, the IJ-passage - into compositional material. The everyday sonic vocabulary remains constant (announcements, suitcases, conversation) but is reshaped b…
Peripherad Debris
Second album in Haarvöl's trilogy, picking up where Bombinate left off. Where the earlier work announced its sonic intention (bombinate, to hum), Peripherad Debris turns toward the conceptual periphery and to remnants of what has already been said: a…
You Are The Universe
A remix/recycle project by Preliminary Saturation (Steffan de Turck and Wouter Jaspers) built entirely from Jos Smolders's Textures and Mobiles (CONV, 2004), an album originally derived from a strictly limited palette of DTMF and CCITT telephone tone…
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 …
1
Mens and Kouw have worked together since 2001, when their first album emerged from the clicks 'n cuts vocabulary via raw mixer feedback recorded to minidisc and broadcast live on Amsterdam's Radio 100. The duo has since migrated into tonal and timbra…
ABC 1-6
Score for indeterminate ensemble by Swiss composer Stefan Thut (2012), here realised by Cristián Alvear, Cyril Bondi and D'Incise. The piece is governed by three categories of sonic material - 0 for faintly coloured noise, 1 for amalgam of noise and …
