It's time for Cold Spring to have again on their catalog a new release by Machinefabriek. As for the last time, Justin is releasing an enhanced reissue of a Rutger Zuydervelt album: originally released in 2008 on Sentient Recognition Archive label as CDr, VLOED is now reissued with the addition of "Vrijhaven", a twenty one minutes long suite recorded live at the Nieuwe Kerk, The Hague, on the 11th October 2008. On this tracks we have Rutger dealing with concrete music made of clogging noises, glitches, drones, sparse finger picking guitar notes and horns like sounds toward its end. The original three tracks are edited live recordings of concerts held in Amsterdam on 2006, 2007 and 2008. The main track sounds like a waving magma of gentle guitar drones for its first part which sees at its middle the add of powerful guitar drones and glitches. "Allengskens" is a track I found mesmerizing, thanks to the multi layering of reverbering guitar drones which form soft melodies. Toward its end, Rutger, strengthen the sound making the whole track sound like sea waves that break up on the reef. "Drifjgzand" is a throbbing track which plays a lot with silence, mixing on its peak noises, high frequencies drones, slow guitar arpeggios and reversed sounds. If you like hynotic atmospheres this one is for you...
