ECN45 Tomutonttu “Halki Pilvien” cassette (November 2024)
Halki pilvien - transl. Trough the clouds - brings exactly what one expects from the clouds. It is a collection of soft and gentle movements, as playful as a ‘Jan Anderzén type of music’ is always. A collection of patterns that solidify for just a brief moment in time, before sublimating in the back of the mind. This album is in constant motion.

ECN44 Gavin Vanaelst “Takeaway Loops” cassette (November 2024)
The busy front counter of a fast food restaurant is not usually where you’d find calming, meditative music. But that’s where Gavin Vanaelst had to look as he worked shifts for Takeaway, a food delivery service in Antwerp, Belgium. While waiting for orders, Vanaelst would take out his cell phone to record the ambience of each chain restaurant—Falafel King, McDonald’s, Dunkin’ Donuts, KFC. On Takeaway Loops, these recordings become the foundation for compositions for piano and electronics. Vanaelst takes us into the “shadow world” of the gig economy, crafting beauty from the drudgery of the workers waiting in line so that others don’t have to. It’s a somber soundtrack for the perpetual underclass, a soulful response to a soulless, neon-lit world. Bandcamp: Best Field Recordings November 2024
