“The musicians of Pierre Bastien’s orchestra are machines. And the idea behind it is simple,
efficient and poetic : to have traditional instruments (Chinese lute, Morrocan bendir, Javanese
saron, koto, violin, sanza, etc.) played by a mechanical instrument made of meccano pieces
and recycled turntable motors. These hybrid and self-playing sound sculptures perform a
series of short pieces, charming and hypnotic. ” (Michel F. Côté)
In the recent years, Bastien and his machines collaborated with video artist Pierrick Sorin,
fashion designer Issey Miyake, dj Low, British singer and composer Robert Wyatt and the
Trottola circus. The most recent compositions were released on Lowlands and Rephlex.

Rutger Zuydervelt has joined forces with soccer Committee’s Mariska Baars on a multitude of
previous projects but nothing has come close to the sheer force of their newest material.
Baars’ bare-bones songs of lament and longing are taken apart and reassembled by
Zuydervelt’s capable hands.. Gentle acoustic guitar plucks and soothing harmonium tones
work magically to highlight the brightest star on the album: Baars’ fragile, beautiful voice. She
is in magnificent form, pulling emotions from the depths

Bas van Huizen Builds music from processed guitar and voice sounds, densely textured with
slowly unfolding structures. The pieces are subtle, almost understated, but full of finely
weaved detail, with austere & melancholic themes.
Ezra Jacobs makes music from manipulated shortwave radio recordings, focusing on
contrast, or rather on the lack of it. Not so much as in loud against soft or dense against
sparse, but more in the sense of structured sound versus unstructured noise & interference,
