Following on from the truly delectable 3" releases that have
been drifting through the office over the past few months, the
time has finally come for a full length Machinefabriek album -
with Rutger Zuydervel drawing on a slew of influences for
debut LP 'Marijn'. Woven together from filigrees of diffused
sound, the music contained within 'Marijn' is like a slow-
burning candle - shedding little light on it's source, but
nonetheless creating an ambience and glow that can't help but
draw you in. Similar in structure to the less oppressive end
of drone, 'Marijn' opens through the crumbly textures of
'Kreukeltape' - wherein a thrum of crackling elements gently
accrue light and shade through the introduction of muted
piano, distant rhythms and fuzzy processing. Juxtaposing the
austere with the inclusive, 'Kreukeltape' is the perfect
entrance to Machinefabriek's world, with the musique-concrete
elements lapping against a more soundscape-orientated angle
that is dark but not claustrophobic. From here, the next stop
is 'Somerset' and a masterclass in unobtrusive micro-
electronic compositions, as the spindly production is used to
buttress the freewheeling atmospherics and distant radio
signals on top, whilst 'Wolkenkrabber' massages found-sound
detritus into a tape-fed compote of intense beauty. With the
sonic squall of 'J'espere CA' and throaty dissonance pf
'Schipbreuk' both equally beguiling, Zuydervel closes the
album with the eighteen minute climax of 'Lawine' - a
cascading build-up of aural peaks that represents a tsunami of
sound which never threatens to belligerently overwhelm the
listener. 100% cotton...
