october 2009 release ; neat fold-out double-disc edition covering a series of pieces curated by martijn hohmann for a “listening room at art gallery lokaal01” in breda, nl ... the set ships flat (actually smaller than your average dorado gatefold) but opens up like so :: some great work here, including all-exclusive pieces from machinefabriek (crackly, cheap-reverb plugin rework of aaron martin’s cello), janek schaefer (neat, plunderphonic flamenco piece), runzelstirn & gurgelstøck (classic, aktion-heavy rudolf), merzbow (washing-machine rhythms into a synth blow-out) ... ... then (ad)vance(d) (formant-filter drones & assorted static), justin bennett’s students (ground-hum rich field recording overlay), steve roden (automatic-feeling mystery clank & reed drones - get lost in the long sound-sample), francisco lópez (rainforest hiss), and staplerfahrer (grainy, noisy grisple) ... most pieces hover around the 10-minute mark, as such there’s enough room for them to say what they need to without feeling hurried ... as site-specific compilations go this one’s a keeper ; highly recommended !!!
