SELF PROMOTION / Machinefabriek audio postcard

Machinefabriek - Greetings from Seeljocht

From June 21 to 25 I participated in a residency project called `Seeljocht`. The Into the Great Wide Open
festival invited Piiptsjilling to stay on Vlieland for a week, and record music inspired by this beautiful island.
Greg Haines and the video artists of 33 1/3 were invited too, as well as Heather Broderick and Nils Frahm,
who recorded  their contribution while on holiday in the United States.

I`ve made several field recordings on the island, which I used in the Piiptsjilling tracks. These recordings
were also used to create a short piece for Headphone Commute`s `audio postcard` series.

Listen to it here:

Enjoy! Rutger

SYNTHESIZERS + SOUND-MAKING HARDWARE / Noise Hero and R-Drone Station for sale

« on: June 28, 2011, 10:11:13 am »

Noise Hero
I recently bought one of these:
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/47032458
It's fun, but not really 'up my alley'...
i guess it was what you call an 'impulse purchase'.
It's hardly used, and in perfect condition.
Bought is for 80 $, selling it for 60 $.

Same thing counts for this one:

R-Drone Station
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/47031940
This one was made custom for me without the metal illustrated plate on the front.
Again, it's hardly used, and in perfect condition.
Bought is for 119 $, selling it for 75 $.


Mail me at post@machinefabriek.nu

Bests, rutger

Found this today: http://www.playbutton.co/
A label releasing buttons that have a build-in player with one album on it.
A bit gimmicky maybe, but I like it!

SELF PROMOTION / Duotoon - OUT NOW

« on: July 09, 2010, 06:10:53 am »

A sample: www.machinefabriek.nu/mp3//Duotoon-fragment.mp3

Price: 7 euro including worldwide postage. Mail to post@machinefabriek.nu to order.

Boomkat: "A most refreshing, back-to-basics composition from Rutger Zuydervelt, new Machinefabriek release 'Duotoon' is said to be inspired by the works of Alvin Lucier and Steinbruchel - an intriguing pairing of influences, but you can certainly hear their respective fingerprints all over this fine concoction. As Zuydervelt himself is keen to point out, there are "no dusty vinyl crackles, textural field recordings or grainy guitars here... just pure tones." A statement like that is itself music to the ears, implicitly acknowledging and shunning elements that are increasingly becoming platitudinous mainstays of the ambient/microsound genre. 'Duotoon' is all about nuanced harmonic interplay and layered micro-intervals, drawing the ear toward clever phasing effects and infinitesimal melodic development. On the surface it's all very simple, but it's within this economical, back-to-basics construction that the piece's great strength resides."
