Restock. New low price. Music for a sculpture by Rob Voerman, composed by Rutger Zuydervelt. Originally presented on a three way speaker system, 11 and 12 September, in Beeldenpark Leidsche Rijn, Utrecht (NL). This is a manufactured cd edition, following a very limited cdr edtition. What Boomkat said aout Loops for Voerman: "The more Rutger Zuydervelt's output has slowed down, the more he seems to fascinate. Despite only delivering a handful of new works this year, each new release has brought with it something new to the table, with this remarkable 15 minute disc containing the most intensely affecting Machinefabriek recording since last year's career-defining 'Dauw'. 'Loops For Voerman' was recorded as part of an art installation/sculpture by Rob Voerman but, oddly, doesn't rely on any visual association for its unique, almost harrowing quality. Bowed strings take on a metallic, razor-like identity, with vocal shards and found sounds arranging themselves throughout the looped cycle of the track, each time re-positioning themselves with an almost imperceptible shift of emphasis. The technical effect is similar to that created by Deathprod on the incredible 'Treetop Drive', albeit with a completely different sound palette, but the track is no less impressive in its execution, exposing ever expansive stretches of sound as the track unfolds. Originally performed on a three-way speaker system, one can only imagine the impact on the listener with all that extra movement of sound, intensifying an already overpowering aural experience and delivering one of the most valuable artefacts yet in the already mightily impressive Machinefabriek canon. Very highly recommended."
