Waanzintraan

Second album for the label, composed in China where van Huizen was based. Waanzintraan extends his investigation into what he calls 'the harmony of noise': not noise as genre signal but as aesthetic and visceral material, deployed within often consonant frames. The piece weaves processed field recordings from Shanghai and Xi'an into a sustained electronic discourse of contrasts, where harsh and resonant matter coexist within a unified compositional logic, on the ambient-noise threshold.

*2022 stock. 200 copies limited edition* We are really happy and proud to present the second album by Bas van Huizen for Moving Furniture Records. After Kluwekracht he now returns with Waanzintraan where he goes further with his explorations in the harmony of noise.

In his own words Bas had to say the following: "Waanzintraan is the first collection of music I produced in China. It even features some processed field recordings I made in Shanghai and Xi'an. I mostly explored noise though. Not as a genre excursion, but more as an aesthetic and visceral aspect. Waanzintraan is an album full of contrasts that's surprisingly harmonic at times. Not only noise is a dominant theme in Waanzintraan, China and my life here also found its way directly and indirectly into the music. I decided to extend that to the visual part of the project by using backgrounds in the artwork and video that consist of material I shot around my neighbourhood here in Xi'an."
