November and December 2011 I have been working on series of tracks for Scanner (Robin Rimbaud). This year Sub Rosa will release a 2LP/CD with material from the 90′s. This is the second of a series of blogposts about interesting or conspicuous mastering projects that I have finished.
December 2011 brought two new mastering assignments by Norge musician Ole Christensen. First project was a compilation with the ominous title “Sonisk Blodbad”, and after that a LP/CD production of Big Robot. Big Robot’s line up for this release was Ole Christensen, Per Sjöberg, Joakim Langeland and Kjetil Manheim. Guest appearance on “EHTP” : Victoria [...]
I love it when a release that I have mastered gets joyous reviews. This one below, by Volcanic Tongue is nice. The writer almost faints in his enthousiasm. Of course can only agree with what he writes. This album is going to be a classic!
A few days ago we published an [ interview ] with Machinefabriek, not about his huge output in the last seven years but about the way Rutger Zuydervelt stays in touch with his audience. Since we have a tradition of following each interview with a remaster study that is performed at the EARLabs studio here [...]
I can’t remember when exactly (or how) I came along the name of Steffan De Turck but he was a young guy from my hometown and did some interesting stuff that had a lot of potential. That’s why I contacted him and we’ve been pals ever since. Für Katharina by Staplerfahrer Plus I was right [...]
Asher Thal Nir was still relatively unknown when we published this in 2006. His approach on extremely amplified near silence was refreshing and therewith extremely suitable for EARLabs. In an interview at [ Rare Frequency ] he remembered the period he worked on these pieces: “I went through a period when I was living in Brooklyn where [...]
NILS ROSTAD – UJAMT (LP by Tallerk Platter) Although released as a LP, I only got a CDR (which not how things work here, I must admit, so don’t follow his example), but the improvised music of Nils Rostad is nice enough to be ignored. Sixteen relatively short pieces of improvised music using a variety [...]
This time I didn’t do a remaster but a remix. What’s the difference? I went a bit further than just working on the tonal balance, but worked on the basic mix tracks and added something of a personal touch to the Tricil mix.
Earlier this year Tim O’Reilly held a speech where he proposed the idea of the ‘government as a platform’. I interpreted that as: the government should provide a platform for society to build upon. Not a government as a controller of public space determining what can and what cannot and controlling that. I was thinking [...]
Boca Raton was the alias of Martijn Tellinga, a up and coming artist at the time and now respected artist in his own name. I liked the boldness of his approach and compositional perspective and therefore invited him to come with a composition. And He Did… Boca Raton was a musical project started by Martijn [...]
