Cello festival Dordrecht

Today I went to the Cello festival, which is held in Dordrecht. We went to see the afternoon show called (f)luister. Two artist played a live show , Maarten Vos and Anne Müller.
First up was Maarten , apart from the cello he had various synthesizers, a Theremin like device , drum machine and effects. Recording his Cello parts and looping them and then improvising with his synthesizers and effects. Very cool ! For some people in the audience maybe a bit too electronic. For me a perfect combo.

Check out his soundcloud page, Maarten Vos soundcloud.

Next up was Anne, she was amazing, looping different parts and adding layers to make a composition. I especially liked the last part of the show were she made a bass like loop and added lot’s of cool extra stuff with her voice and tapping on the cello. Very cool indeed.

Found a cool song on soundcloud, a collaboration with Nils Frahm. Nils Frahm and Anne Muller

Funkstörung Additional productions

Additional productions

Last week I rediscoverd Funkstörung. One of the electronic bands I discovered thru Napster. Yes that was a long time ago. It started with the Reunited (Reunixed by Funkstörung) song.

I was looking for Reunited by the Wu tang clan. And there it was so out of curiosity I downloaded it. I thought it was amazing.

Some time after I bought the album on CD. As I really like to have a physical copy if I like something. More Funkstörung followed after that.

Nowadays my favorite track is the Björk All Is Full Of Love  remix. It gets me in a dreamy state of mind.

Lot’s of other awesome remixes on this one. Listen to it and be amazed. Timeless pieces of music.

Laurent Garnier Home Box

A couple of weeks ago I got the Home box by Laurent Garnier. Everyone who likes Techno and House will have heard about this French DJ and producer.

The box consists of a CD and 4 records. All neatly packed in a card board box. Must admit so far I have only listened to the cd. Which is great. My favorite track is Bang ! There is a nice poster as well 🙂

The box set is sold out but I think just the cd is still available. Get it !
