Freiband & Machinefabriek, Oahu (Low Point)
Frans de Waard, critic, label founder and multi-aliased sound artist (Beequeen, Kapotte Muziek, Goem and here, Freiband) and his younger colleague Rutger Zuydervelt, otherwise only known as Machinefabriek, both reside in the Netherlands but choose to imagine their first on-record encounter in the… [read]

Lepenik, Grete vor dem Haus (CDR Chmafu Nocords)
This compact disc nestles cozily on a square of dark blue cloth in a little cardboard box together with a couple of non-descript black and white photos, like a family heirloom forgotten in some drawer. (Robert) Lepenik plays his piano excruciatingly slow, the notes ocassionally tweaked and… [read]
