Nivritti Marga
Dutch visual and sound artist Raymond Dijkstra has honed a direction with his work that is as complex as it is singular – following patterns both sonically and visually which create a sense of isolation as well as a powerful vision. And this one is not an exception, again with the help of Timo van Luijk (of Elodie, Af Usrin fame) and Frédérique Bruyas on vocals. "Part from these reservations placed upon the kind of relationship more or less intimate that I should maintain with you, my mouth is r…
Macchia Forest
An organic audio forest of analogue electronics, electro-acoustic sounds, sound-sculpture instruments plus singing and piano, even (outrageous!). "The guy from HNAS with the wonderful lady from Anima, plus one of Christoph Heeman's buddies from the project In Camera. Homemade marimba, voice, violin, hand drums, trumpet, autoharp, & electronics slip around each other quietly. Heeman knows how to be ominous, and Fuchs knows how to be squirrely, so they complement each other really well." Weirdorec…
Traces Ephemeres
Beautiful album from Andrew Chalk and Timo van Luijk, from pastoral snaphots to some oriental dreams. Eclectic ensemble of 18 instrumental arrangements invoking an epic and existential soundtrack determined by the power of momentary destiny and reflective sentiment. Guest appearences by Jean-Noel Rebilly and Tom James Scott
Echos Pastoraux
Beautiful new album by Andrew Chalk and Timo Van Luyk (with Daisuke Suzuki on percussions and Ian Middleton on "accidental sounds"). Andrew Chalk is one of the most appreciate musician in this category floating between drone and ambient music, and his meeting with Timo Van Luijk has created an amazing disc, able to emphasize the slow, limited gestures, movements elegiac elegance, but still so heavily controlled. Each faint seems to have a gesture meaning. Here you can hear a flute (connected to …
Voile Au Vent
Edition of 400 copies LP from this duo featuring Timo Van Luijk of Af Ursin and collaborator with Christoph Heemann, NNCK et al. Voile Au Vent presents a series of piano improvisations embedded in dark, symphonic instrumental settings. Some of the most purely malevolent sounds to be associated with Luijk, aspects of Voile Au Vent almost sound like Coil circa “Dark River” with looming electronics providing an eerie backdrop to the broken bones of a piano. Later tracks bring in cut-up sound source…
High Noon
**Third edition of 70 copies, white water based ink silkscreened by Gerard Herman on thick brown board with die-cut center hole. Original white vinyl with silkscreened gold labels.** LP from Timo van Luijk and improvising jazz drummer Kris Vanderstraeten. spaced out improvised music, mainly acoustic and with a strong percussive touch. First album in their 10 year collaboration.
Costa del Luna
Second album. Lunar psychedelic improvisations. Features Timo van Luijk (zither, flute, keys, tape) and Kirs Vanderstraeten (percussion). "Two more side long pieces from these two. The first side is a scuttling crab moving in and out of focus. It's great, but the second side is utterly fantastic. A lot of percussion and drones, as well as flute sounds, etc, with a touch of faux Orientalism. Enough that bits of the music could be seen as an alternative soundtrack to Apocalypse Now!. (And I mean t…
