His Name is Alive – A silver thread, home recordings 1979-1990 (4 cd-set) – 2021 Unconstrainedly enforcing the most beautiful, that is His Name is Alive. Very nice boxset.
The Selva + Machinefabriek – Barbatrama – 2021 Playful, melodious, adventurous record. It doesn’t always have to be so difficult.
Cabaret Voltaire – 2 x 45 – 1982 Richard H Kirk passed away this year, next to his solo work, this one came up again. It has lost none of its eloquence.
Jos Smolders & Jim O’Rourke – Additive Inverse (on Moving Furniture Records) – 2021 Concentrated listening through an extraordinary soundscape when you need a studio break for about 40 minutes.
Steve Reich – Phases (5 cd-set on Nonesuch) – 2008 It was 2021 that Steve Reich really came through for me. Good music while drawing.
Sam Prekop – Spelling – 2021 Most modular stuff passes me by, but I could have this one on for days while I was working.
Machinefabriek – With Drums (on Esc.Rec) – 2021 Intelligent thought-out record, Machinefabriek at his best! An enrichment for your studio activities.
Clarice Jensen – The experience of repetition as death -2020 Another record that can resound through my studio all day without losing any concentration.
Olivia Block – Innocent Passage in the Territorial Sea – 2021 Strong combinations of sound from different genres.
Yann Novak – Lifeblood of light and rapture – 2021 Extremely concentrated balancing act, very nice while editing video.

Vorig jaar weer begonnen met tekenen na zo’n 20 jaar. En de EDDING R10 gum is onmisbaar als tekenmateriaal. Maar het drama is dat de R10 niet meer wordt gefabriceerd. Dit is mijn laatste laatste exemplaar. Hierna moet ik het met de kleinere versie doen.
Nieuw in de collectie een motortje voor op statief om met de videocamera perfecte 360 graden opnamen te kunnen maken. Nog niet perfect want ik wil ‘m trager kunnen laten draaien. Dat wordt dus uit elkaar halen…
Altijd zorgen dat als het ertoe doet mijn ZOOM in de buurt is. Je weet maar nooit waar een opname goed voor is.
Siberisch krijt, hoe zachter en vetter des te beter.
