Recorded August 3, 2007 using a found sample of a piano tone (Piano.wav)
From Boomkat:
The flying Dutchman has only gone and produced yet another luscious businesscard cd (following the
hugely successful 'Stofstuk') and this time he tackles that most regal of instruments, the piano. Okay so
it's hardly original, these days you can hardly move for floppy haired youngsters tickling the humble ivories,
or bespectacled laptop nerds (err... that'll be me then) processing piano notes through chains of digital
effects, but as with everything the man touches 'Piano.wav' offers a distinctly new look at the genre. The
source material for the composition (which weighs in at a brief, yet ultimately very satisfying six minutes)
comes from a 'found sample of a piano tone' and it is evident from the composition that Zuydervelt has
chopped, stretched and distorted the tone like digital putty to come up with something far greater than the
sum of its parts. What was initially merely a single note evolves into a series of drones and a buzzing
cloud of hissing, clicking sound. 'Piano.wav' could be compared favourably to the classic Taylor
Deupree/Kenneth Kirschner collaboration 'Post_Piano' but within one track Zuydervelt seems to reach
even further devastating levels of purity and synthesized perfection. An absolutely essential purchase, and
strictly limited copies as per ususal...
