Machinefabriek with Anne Bakker ~ Wisps
Wisps is the perfect name for this mini-album. Wisps of Anne Bakker‘s voice, violin and viola gather and disperse throughout the release. On the cover, Wytske van der Veen uses scrap paper to create disconnected collages. Machinefabriek weaves his own wisps into the

Machinefabriek ~ With Drums
