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

ACL 2012: The Year’s Best Album Covers

These are times of widespread disconnect, and music is one of the most genuine ways for a person all alone to feel understood. We’re seeing DIY backlashes against this loss of connection everywhere (Just look into the boom on homesteading

Celer & Machinefabriek ~ Hei/Sou

Celer & Machinefabriek are having a great year.  In addition to their separate releases, they’ve toured, released a download set of the tour, and completed a trilogy of fine vinyl singles, of which Hei/Sou is the final piece.  Perhaps the most exciting thing

Machinefabriek ~ Colour Tones

Can you see the colour you are listening to? Shoots of static seek shelter from the burgeoning earth.  The frost is cracking, crunching, clutching.  This is the risk the plant takes: to rise, to spill forth, to extend a fair

Machinefabriek ~ Ontrafelde tonen

The lathe-cut Ontrafelde tonen launches the brand-new Vintermusik label in style; it’s hard to imagine a stronger start.  In 2012, Machinefabriek is already making a play to become the next jukebox hero, the king of the 45.  Ontrafelde tonen follows hot on the
