Nicolae Brînduș, Peter Beyls, Bart De Paepe

Timo van Luijk's labels Metaphon and La Scie Dorée present three essential releases that map the territory of contemporary experimental music - from the vaults of Romanian fury to the birth of generative sound, from Darmstadt radicalism to psychedelic meditation.

Nicolae Brînduș's Match / Soliloque 1&4 / Antifonia (1986) remains the most eccentric entry in Electrecord's legendary RCM series - a controlled explosion where Romanian folk memory meets spectral composition, free jazz violence, and tape manipulation. Brînduș spent decades at the intersection of impossibilities, filtering innovations from Stockhausen, Ligeti, Xenakis, and Kagel through his singular vision.

Peter Beyls' self-titled LP unveils four rare archival tracks from the early 1970s - foundational documents of generative art created with Crackle Box, Synthi 100, and VCS3. Before AI became a buzzword, Beyls was already building frameworks where human intention and machine autonomy dissolved into radical collaboration.

Bart De Paepe's Zürahümnah distills two decades navigating the psychedelic underground into four immersive pieces. With Hawaiian guitar, piano, organ, and cymbal, he creates floating vibrations that blur light and darkness, time and reverie.

Three voices, three decades, one uncompromising curatorial vision. Limited editions. Don't miss them.
