Fire Ring by Raoul van Herpen

This album is released by Tone Burst recordings
https://toneburst.bandcamp.com/merch


Soft crackling
a snap, pop
a sudden roar
ever changing
recognizable yet never the same

Flames who seem to have a life of its own,
dancing to the sound of their passionate burning self.
Every piece is a place to be in,
rising and descending,
whispers, whistling heat.
Dance around the fire, or just stare at the flames.
Take part in the ritual of the “Ring Fire”.

Instead of being beaten by a broken computer, I took that challenge to be creative and do it “the old way”.

All music is recorded in one take, full analog, and mixed on to tape, minor editing and mastering are done partly analog and digital.

The instruments I used for this recording: Ciat-lonbarde DIY instruments, Wurlitzer piano, Arp Axxe synthesizer, Guitar, and tape echo/loops.

I'm an electro-acoustic music composer. Improvising musician.
Drawing heavily on modern composing and improvisation techniques.
I love to explore new territories' and play with noise, electronics, textures, tape, my beloved Wurlitzer piano and DIY Synhtesizers.
This is what my work is all about.
