Release Year: 2022

Note: a new project of ELLENDE and MODELBAU, with one excellent experimental drone piece - "The combination or difference between ambient, drone, soundscape and experiments.... "Dweemoed" (Afrikaans for melancholy) is a 17-minute four music pieces release that combines the best of both worlds. Literally. There is the massive soundscapish approach of Modelbau, and there is more than enough happening in the periphery of the type of sounds we've found in Ellende's release."

More Info

The second release is a new project with well-known names, the before-mentioned Ellende and Frans de Waard, a.k.a. Modelbau. From what you just read
earlier, my opinion on Ellende - or what I've heard of him/them - is that it's beautifully hypnotizing experimental structures, and I love it. And my opinion on Modelbau is no secret either; I love the building and tension in the mostly longer tracks: The combination or difference between ambient, drone, soundscape and experiments. One can hear the outcome, but the origin is quite often unknown. "Dweemoed" (I think it's Afrikaans for melancholy) is a 17-minute four music pieces release that combines the best of both worlds. Literally. There is the massive soundscapish approach of Modelbau, and there is more than enough happening in the periphery of the type of sounds we've found in Ellende's release. I am so happy I get to write reviews sometimes. And today is one of those happy days. What better sentence to conclude with than the words on the cover: "Het is laat en wordt alleen maar beter" (tr: 'It is late and only gets better'). Damn, even better. [BW /Vital Weekly]
