Machinefabriek ~ Crumble
Many of Machinefabriek’s greatest works are long-form pieces, and the 34-minute Crumble is Rutger Zuydervelt’s finest release since last year’s Sneeuwstorm. We recall that album because it seems that a piece of that work has snuck into this one: the howl & crunch of

Machinefabriek & Philippe Petit ~ Angry Ambient Artists Vol. 1
The name is incongruous, the concept endearing. Angry ambient artists? You betcha. People expect ambient artists to have ambient personalities as well: floating, drifting, relaxing, calm. Some may even expect ambient artists to speak in abraded loops. Yet as Depeche

ACL 2015: Top Ten Drone
Extended tones form the basis of Drone, a category that can be as soft as a refrigerator hum or as loud as the military plane that adopted its name. But there’s so much more to the genre than simple extension.

Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek ~ Whorls
Tim Catlin & Machinefabriek‘s third collaboration is also their first in four years. The gap in time is clearly responsible for a shift in sound. Whorls is as dynamic and exciting as Patina was soft and calm. When the latter was released in 2011,

Rutger Zuydervelt ~ Sneeuwstorm
Can a saxophone sound like snow (sneeuw)? In the hands of Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek), the answer is yes. On this album, Otto Kokke (soprano saxophone) and Colin Webster (tenor saxophone) find their contributions rumpled, looped, and otherwise manipulated in the service

Esther Kokmeijer + Rutger Zuydervelt ~ Stillness
This stunning project reinforces the adage that good things come in small packages. Postcard aside, the USB stick is only the size of a tie clip, but it holds some of the loveliest images you’ll ever see, and with the

Sergio Sorrentino & Machinefabriek ~ Vignettes
Machinefabriek is enjoying another prolific period, having recently released collaborations with Banabila, Celer and the Kleefstra brothers, among others. We can imagine a TV show called “Everybody Loves Rutger”, in which a different experimental musician might drop by every week

Chris Dooks and Machinefabriek ~ The Eskdalemuir Harmonium
Between the tremendous volume of recordings released and the ease of obtaining them, perhaps it’s only natural to expect that we tend to have such short attention spans these days. The Eskdalemuir Harmonium came out late in 2012, a beautiful
