Machinefabriek, the project of Dutch electronic musician Rutger Zuydervelt,
sculpted hypnotic and grandiloquent soundscapes, despite the fuzzy background noise, notably
the 18-minute Lawine, off Marijn (2006), that smothers a piano pattern into a cosmic radiation,
the 19-minute Licht, off Bijeen (2007),
the 22-minute Still, off Slaapzucht (2007), that otherwise collects old EPs of music for laptop, guitar, home-made instruments and sound effects,
the 21-minute Flotter, off Zwart (2007),
and the 17-minute Zink, off Ranonkel (2008), the chromatic and "melodic" peak of their career.
Their pieces created a contrast between the reassuring calm of the "ambient"
component and the sinister of the tidal wave of distortion. It was a kind of
"grandiose" ambience.
Slaapzucht (Root Strata) collects two EPs.
Vloed (Sentient Recognition Archive, 2008)
documents live performances.
Weleer (Lampse) is a double-disc anthology.
Music For Intermittent Movements (Soundtracks For Films By John Price) (self released, 2008) collects film scores.
Fabriek + Fabriek (2008) was a collaboration with pianist Leo Fabriek.
The 19-minute piece of the EP Rusland (2008) used
some live performances as source material.
Box Music (12K, 2008) was a collaboration with Stephen Vitiello.
Dauw (Dekorder, 2008) was a relatively straightforward
collection of four songs plus the 25-minute Singel, another peak of
his subliminal noisescapes for acoustic, electric, electronic and digital
instruments.
Mort Aux Vaches (Staalplaat, 2008) was instead quite mediocre.
