from Boomkat:
Double cd featuring specially comissioned remixes from the likes of Alva Noto, Julien Neto, Kim Cascone,
Xela, Pita, Svarte Greiner, Mitchell Akiyama, Greg Haines, Chris Hebert, Mark Templeton and many many
more. LIMITED TO 500 COPIES FOR THE WORLD!* Fresh from the busiest hard drive in electronic
music, here comes yet another new release from Rutger Zuydervelt, only this time it's a remix collection
featuring 26 reinterpretations by the many friends and admirers of the peerlessly prolific Dutchman.
Looking over the list of contributors is like going through a who's who of the electronic music A-list, with the
likes of Alva Noto, Svarte Greiner, Pita, Xela, Julien Neto, Steinbruchel and Greg Haines all queuing up to
leave their own mark on the original Machinefabriek composition they take as source material. The piece in
question, 'Stofstuk' was composed by Zuydervelt just a few months ago, which goes to show how quickly
the turnaround has been on this ambitious project. Fittingly, 'Stofstuk' opens up the album, setting the high
benchmark for the remixes to come. The piece incorporates some of the most distinctive elements of the
Machinefabriek sound arsenal, including the customary oceanic static and muffled, semi-industrial drone.
As tends to be the case with Zuydervelt's work there's something inherently uplifting about the composition;
beneath the epidermis of gently shifting tones and surface crackle there's a rich detail and warmth
underpinning everything. After a blissful five-and-a-half minutes, the Freiband remix jolts in to life with
thunderous, noisy aggression. It's a radical departure, leaping from sheets of distortion to motorised
glitches before eventually settling into a near-silent pulsation. Another early highlight comes from jgrzinich,
without question one of the most criminally overlooked electroacoustic composers of our age (get hold of
his Insular Regions album on Sirr immediately). Grzinich heightens the sonic tension no end, adding a real
sense of location and spatial dynamics - the track sounds like a document of some abandoned old room
emitting wave after wave of radiation. Influential sound designer Kim Cascone adds some further droning
depth and brings whispered vocals to the mix, making for a beautifully spooky piece of music. Things take
a turn towards the more organic next, with Greg Haines twisting and mangling his strings all over the
original, adding an epic sense of cinematic melancholy to the track over a spending nine minutes.
Following on from there Xela brings the noise, stringing together a montage of voices, blurred recordings
and ancient-sounding hum. Other highlights on the first disc come from Machinefabriek collaborator Aaron
Martin, who contributes a wonderful concrΦte-enhanced reworking, plus an Alva Noto epic in a similar vein
to his recent Xerrox album - just incredibly beautiful stuff. Onto the second disc and a stellar turn from
Lesser gets proceedings underway, while Pita fries a few sound chips for his reinterpretation and Kranky's
Chris Herbert brings his track to a low frequency, highly textured simmer. Deaf Center's Erik Skodvin
fashions a remarkable piece of work out of his turn as Svarte Greiner - taking in field recordings and even a
hint of faded, distant strings emerging from the rich miasma he brews up. The set closes with a
microsound flourish thanks to the high frequency intricacies of Gert-Jan Prins and the reliably magnificent
Steinbruchel, who concocts the most harmonious and subtle of sound banks for his superb epilogue.
Pretty much an unmissable package for anyone interested in experimental electronics - beautiful
packaging and a one-off limited pressing making this a real collectors item you should snap up without
delay. ESSENTIAL PURCHASE!
