HUUR IS DUUR VERSUS GEEN INDEXERING MEER
Christophe Piette, een inwijkeling van R.O.T. en Wietske zorgen voor een
musique concrète waar de Bohmans Brothers ook niet vies van zijn. Met
allerhande non instrumenten en objecten zorgen zij voor een amalgaan van
geluiden die verschuiven van het maximale naar het minimale.

R.O.T.
Hier bevind men zich in het vrije. Hier staat de omgeving centraal staat of
wat een ruimte van invloed zou kunnen zijn op hun geluid, klankleur,
textuur. Als ik hun fanatastische lp "l'ecurie" op kraak nog eens onder de
loep neem, kom ik in een onaards gegrom terecht waar verval mij een
ongemakkelijk gevoel heeft. Hier onder ga je onderhuidse machinale geluiden
waar geimproviseerd wordt. Het werkt bevrijdend en beeldend tegelijkertijd.

FLORIS VANHOOF
De filmmaker en inwijkeling van R.O.T. die zijn electronica de vrije loop
laat, waar ook non-instrumenten hier deel van kunnen uitmaken waarvan zij
ook improvisatorisch het ritme kunnen bepalen. Hij laat de klank onstaan en
het geluid kan glooien waar Conrad Schnizler zal glimlachen. Alles trilt,
suddert en verschuift door middel van electronica en synths. Tot dat (zoals
op "Time Slime") plots de gebuur zijn stereo op volume zet en de techno
laat dwalen, die in contrast komt met die ene suddering."Time Slime" kwam
op Ultra Eczema terecht, er komt een cassette op Stenze Quo en in het
voorjaar zit er nog een ei te broeden op Kraak.

FLORIS VANHOOF (be)
Filmmaker and musician Floris Vanhoof (Belgium, 1982) approaches the celluloid of his films and the electronic components of his instruments closely. Electronic circuits are vivified inspired by the liveliness of what happened around structural film and West Coast Free- and Tape music. With an arrangement of electronic gear and film- or slide projectors he searches for the essence and potential of multi media performance. Every concert becomes a hybrid form of projected images, an electronic patchwork and field recorded sounds. After releases on Breaking World Records and Taped Sounds his Vinyl debute came out on Ultra Eczema. A split with Dolphins Into The Future will be released by Experimedia and he's now recording for Kraak.

DOLPHINS INTO THE FUTURE (be)
(...) like Caspar David Friedrich, i bow my head in deep mahalo and aloha.... because there, at Kealakekua, i learned how important beauty is. it is that deep, beautiful pallet of colors. that heart of the metaphorical Cetacean Nation. that collection of water, coral reefs, cliffs, spirit, animals, salt, trees and waves. which made me resonate myself with the artist. it's an egg, the artist that radiates either mystical realities or actual facts. sprung from the Olde Saturn. my music is a landscape. a ku'ono for your mind to hike in. for the exploration of a personal jungle. for the atonement of a world out there, above there, in there. a spring of harmonies. a bay of sound. a natural and abstract composition, rooted in romance and subconsciousness. Dolphins Into The Future has released albums on Kraak, Notnotfun and Release The Bats, and has upcoming releases on Aguirre, Experimedia, and Olde English Spelling Bee.

MONOPOLY CHILD STAR SEARCHERS (usa)
Charles Berlitz, former agent for boy band, The Skaters, has been inventing landscape music for years, and runs his own productions company called PACIFIC CITY SOUND VISIONS. Engelbert and Humpledinck have raved that: `Monopoly Child Star Searchers is a fusion music, but not a fusion of genres of music, but that of a fusion of the Stars, the Sun, and the Tschungle!` He has albums out on Olde English Spelling Bee, Rose City Aquariums Unlimited, and Blauwe Oceanic Records. Charles will be presenting to the East Coast his new sound `StarSwept`, which he explains as: "A memory blast of the beauty and evil that was experienced at the Spectacle of Light Festival in Salt Lake City 1988." Expect immediate Hallucination. (Alec Baldwin)
