"This tape is the registration of a session I played on invitation by Knotwilg Records on Saturday, June 8, 2024 at the town hall of Meetkerke, a one street village tucked away between Bruges and the North Sea in the midst of Flanders flatlands. The session was broadcasted live during the Kneautwilg radioshow on Studio Néau that afternoon. I recorded the air waves on magnetic tape with a Korg CR-3, two SM57 mics and two AKG C1000 mics. This tape is the result of those analog recordings." - Knotw…

"As i was looking for tracks for our monthly Kneautwilg radioshow i jumped into my cdr collection and stumbled upon a pile of those mini-cdr's so fashionable in the first decade of this century. Without prelistening i played it on the show resulting in juvenile state of enthusiasm. The hints towards a young Dead C are there, sure. But it sounded different: maybe younger, wilder. So who else can make such a nz guitar assault? I should have known the answer being a long time CJA/Futurians fan. Sur…

"The first time i stumbled on a hurdy-gurdy was as a little boy on a holiday during  a 'bal populaire' in a small village in Brittany (France).  Later on i discovered the term hurdy-gurdy from a Donovan track which returned in my adolescent years as a Butthole Surfers track. But somehow the instrument kept returning in my life. Lise Barkas being a good example, and obviously the whirlwind France.  Mining deeper i bumped into the traditional play of for instance Claude Flagel. And the story goes …

A masterpiece album released in 1976 by the Japanese contemporary musician Yuzuru Kondo, whose main contributions to the sombre labyrinths of post-1960s musical modernism is something that the composer conceptualised as 'linear music' (or line and shadow as "Sen no ongaku' is sometimes translated).  Then there's beautiful piano solo puzzle "Sight Rhythmics" that's a bit like Messiaen's total serialist one-off “Mode de valeurs et d'intensités". Plus semi-concrète essay "Summer Days" where muffled…

This 1983 collection on ALM compiles what is generally considered to be one of Jo Kondō's last linear pieces - "A Shape Of Time" - which he describes as a "duo" for piano and orchestra. The classification is appropriate since the overall concept is focused on basic dynamic arc applied to individual pitches or sound-blocks. In this way each of the individual 'linear' sound-events is started out by the group of orchestral instruments which play crescendo part of the dynamic shape - piano to mezzo …
