Machinefabriek - Dauw

MachinefabriekRutger Zuydervelt's latest release is a sound painting of true craftsmanship. "Dauw" is divided into five tracks, each one an important part of the whole. He uses a large array of different sounds, each one with purpose, to create a meditative and uplifting record. It opens slowly and gently coaxing to a lull and bringing relaxation. When calm and relaxed, Zuydervelt opens your scull and places the sounds, with expert precision, right inside your head. This is followed by a mesmerisingly simple guitar tune which takes us to some beautiful vocal harmonies. Harmonies which fill the room with warmth gradually intensifying, building, growing, until it disappointingly just ends. The last section acts a coda, although much longer than the four previous tracks. It incorporates elements heard before and brings Dauw to a peaceful close.

MOUTHUS

Best of the recent Our Mouth stuff is the first Sullivan solo CD-R. Sullivan's comes under the name Eskimo King, and /Tooth-Shaped Migration/ is five thick, detailed chunks of sound spread over a quick 17 minutes. What I dig most about Sullivan is his wide-open outlook on what sounds are worth making. Mouthus may concoct a lot of deep, textured noise, but they also use acoustic guitar loops, dirgey metal-like stomps, polyrhtyhmic meditations, busted rock riffs, and tons more.

„Nein, nein, kein Soundtrack! Wir kombinieren nur die Stücke auf unseren Alben - wir schneiden erstmal alles auf Band mit, um dann, vielleicht Monate später, zu sagen: Oh, das hier passt ja thematisch zu diesem Stück und auch zu jenem. Oder: Dieses Stück würden zu jenen Anderen passen, wäre es nicht so grottenschlecht. Also: Trash it.” Brian Sullivan/HE Interview
