Radboud Mens& Matthijs Kouw

These long drone tracks immerse you in frequencies that are slowly changing around you, revealing you all sides and details of a sonic sculpture that make you forget that music is a time-based art. With this release, simply titled '3/4', Mens and Kouw continue the exploration of long-form drone. By using an 12 meter long magnetic string and precisely tuned analogue synthesis, Mens and Kouw create a rich tapestry of drones and slowly changing environments. To the careless listener, nothing much seems to happen. However, an attentive ear will reveal a rich variety of resonances, phase-differences and sonic artefacts. Starting as a deep and warm drone music the pieces gradually develops into a collage of textures and frequencies that are carefully moving in and out of the drone. This record is recorded live in the studio and released in a limited edition of 300 CDs that are packaged in a 3 panel carton sleeve.
