Double Landscape by Jeroen Diepenmaat
I love coincidence and I love rules. So, for this release I made some rules that make room for coincidence.
-Record on tape: some piano playing, combined with a Kaoss pad.
-Cut the tape in 7 loops.
-Insert the loops in 7 cassettes.
-Number the cassettes 1A, 1B, 2A, 2B, ..... up to 7B.
-Play back every possible combination of two of these cassettes, including A-sides and B-sides.
-Name the tracks after the combination, using the number and side of the cassette.
-Record each track seperately on a bussinescardCDr. Only one physical copy per track.
-Make a folded insert, that comes with the CDr.
If you want to buy the businesscard CDr, please mention the code of your favorite track and I'll send you that copy, if available.
Review
"An epic fashioned from the tiniest and simplest of musical building blocks, it’s a fascinating and engrossing experience." Simon Cummings - 5against4 (http://5against4.com/2017/10/21/jeroen-diepenmaat-double-landscape/)
"The whole thing, one could say, is a bit ambient like, mainly due to the repetition, but it sounded sufficiently weird enough not to lull me asleep." Frans de Waard - Vital Weekly (http://www.vitalweekly.net/1098.html)
"Es hat etwas unglaublich Tröstendes, in seine Fluten einzutauchen und sich von seinen Strömungen so lange hinfort spülen zu lassen, bis das Ufer verschwindet, die Welt sich auflöst und nichts bleibt als reines, sanftes Treiben." Beat Magazine
