From Boomkat:
Marking a return to the 3" format, Rutger Zuydervelt teams up with the reliably brilliant Ralph Steinbruchel
for this release, a document of their performance at Zurich's Kunstraum Walcheturm, which took place
only a fortnight or so ago. Using Machinefabriek's 'Stofstuk' as a starting point the duo weave a shifting
dronescape that marries Steinbruchel's knack for high frequency precision and detail with Zuydervelt's
noisier, more industrial approach. Based on their discographies to date, it sounds like Steinbruchel
dominates the first ten minutes, establishing time-suspending tonal stasis and a high register crackle that
casts a fine polish over the whole experience. After that ten-minute threshold is crossed the keenness for
detail and glossy minimalism ebbs away only to be replaced by a steely grey drone, as if storm clouds
suddenly appeared over the mixing board, churning out rasping feedback overtones and a kind of hollowed
out distortion. Soon after, that high frequency activity starts to throw some colour back into the piece,
before it all ultimately ignites into a rumbling jetstream at the end, fading out as a fuzzy vapour trail....
Brilliant stuff.
Performed live at Kunstraum Walchetrum, Zⁿrich, 14.03.2008.
