Stoffig Stuk (6:27)
Stukke Rust (19:34)
Wouter van Veldhoven utilise sur ce disque des enregistrements de guitares, melodica, xylophones et bien d'autres choses encore. Contrairement à ces deux premiers disques, il choisit ici de ne livrer que deux titres. Le premier, Stoffig Stuk, est basé sur le titre Stofstuk de Machinefabriek mais si celui ci est un drone, ici Wouter van Veldhoven le transforme en une véritable forêt enchantée de sons. Le second morceau, plus long, se construit très graduellement, pendant que chaque instrument ajoute à la palette de sons....
Fortement recommandé pour les amateurs de Machinefabriek et de Colleen...
Hailing from Utrecht, the Netherlands, Wouter van Veldhoven is the musician behind the first slaapwel record. His tape-experiments provide listeners with beautiful decaying sounds, bathing in a sweet swirling hiss. I find those sounds and loops so soothing and gentle that I thought Wouter would make an excellent artist to record an album to fall asleep to. Wouter seemed to really like the idea and within a week or two he made "Ruststukken", a beautiful EP compromised of two long sleep-inducing songs. The first song is called "Stoffig Stuk" and is basicly Wouter re-interpreting the infamous "Stofstuk" by Machinefabriek. It is followed by my favourite piece of him; "Stukke Rust" a 20 minute epic that builds up with a melancholic melodica, hiss, acoustic guitars and other otherworldly sounds. I can only describe it as if Yann Tiersen and William Basinski decided to record together. I suppose it's not hard to imagine for you how awesome that must sound. The artwork for this one is extremely special. All boxes are handpainted with glitters and a sparkly star. An Vandesompele designed them and I must say she did an incredible job. It's probably the most beautiful box I own in my record collection.
