The Machinefabriek silly season continues apace, with an album of 26 remixes of one of his originals “Stofstuk” (drone, clicks, singing bowl).  Kruimeldief features Freiband (static explosion), Peter Broderick (space station on red alert), Jgrzinich (train station at night all lights at red), Kim Cascone (red planet wind and ghostly chatter), Greg Haines (orchestra emerges through a hole grated in a metal fence), Xela (held hostage listening to captors in the adjacent room), Mark Templeton (shuffled with packs of guitar, harmonica and clatter),  Jefre Cantu-Ledesma (terrifying near-silence), Mitchell Akiyama (whining guitar elegy), Aaron Martin (sheltering from the rain in a phonebox outside a TV shop), Strangelet (the TV shop has 2001 on each of twenty screens), Alva Noto (gets inside the bowl to sing a hymn), Luigi Archetti (helicopter feedback, sine waves), Lesser (murder on shingle), Jeroen Vandesande (metal on metal), Tim Coster (a last transmission, power failing), Pita (transmitter rebuilt reaching up to split-open sky), Svarte Greiner (knives sharpened on passing train, in slo-mo), The No (morse code transcription of suicide letter), Adam Pacione (witchy cauldron), Henrik Rylander (destruction by electric fire), Chris Herbert: (insectoid snacking), Julien Neto (enticing trace of melody escaping church window), Lukas Simonis (birth, monkey-like, from the elements), Gert-Jan Prins (abduction and operation), Steinbruchel (the bowl closes over, entombment).  Think that’s not enough?  There is a whole other CD’s worth of these up on his website featuring the likes of Fog and Jasper TX.  Think that’s not enough?  The collaboration with Aaron Martin, Cello Recycling (twelve stunning minutes of monstrous Godspeed sigh) / Cello Drowning (the same, but in the sewer with the ceaseless drip and the rat people) is out now on Tape.  Think that’s not enough?  There’s a live downloadable mp3 over at netlabel One, featuring two tracks, “Stuip” (not unusually, takes ten minutes to get going, but when it does it gets going in really harsh and abrasive waves which grate the skin from the inside of your ears in a surprisingly enjoyable manner) and “Staar” (when is Machinefabriek playing over here?  I’m first in line for tickets). Think that’s not enough?  Oh, go and see a doctor you sick freak.

Both Kruimeldief and Cello Recycling/Cello Drowning are available from the home of all things Zuyderfelt, Boomkat.  Stuip/Staar is dowloadable from One.
