Rutger Zuydervelt never stops making music, even in his sleep
he has a monitor set up at all times to record his brain
responses and synthesize tones of feedback, distorted wails
and manic beatplay. He has released a whole bunch of
gloriously obscure 3" cdrs by himself and has just dropped an
incredible full length on the Lampse label entitled "Marijn",
and his head is still overflowing with ideas. So it's hardly
surprising then that we've managed to skim off the cream of
the man's recording output for a special exclusive release.
And not just any old release either, we asked him to put
together a 7" and instead of opting for the old classic of one
track per side, he instead coughed up eight one minute tracks;
a selection of love songs for the Springtime. Odd? Definitely,
this micro album holds within it more ideas than most artists
manage to belch out over eight albums, let alone a handful of
tracks!
"Er op Uit" starts things off with some gorgeous melodica
tinkering before "Dansen met groene groenten" gets us truly
into the spirit of Machinefabriek. Taking cues from Delia
Derbyshire (most notably the Radiophonic Workshop dances for
children records) this is a crackly ode to all things good in
the world. More evidence of this can be found by flipping the
record over; the hand-clap led "Blij Blij Blij" which could
have been made to fit alongside any number of 1970s childrens
tv shows. Eventually we reach the album's longest track
(almost 2 minutes) "Fiets en Langs de Dijk"; a slice of
electronic music in it's most live form, a gorgeous floating
synth melody played over looping toy drum machine sounds. It
is electronica somehow, but is as punk rock as it gets.
Machinefabriek puts the love back into electronic music, so
let's put our hands together and show him some respect!
