Tomlaan - poging twee (2024)

Six songs that almost read as one big opening sentence. It’s the result of multi-layered recordings of several modular synthesis sessions, combined with bass guitar loops and processed vocal recordings. This album is a sonic experience that tends to take on a heavy face, but always has a light note as well as a humoristic glance. It offers you a smaller road to wander off, enclosed by emotional landscapes and surprising soundscapes. In times where the digital world keeps offering us opportunities so we feel as if everything is manufacturable, this album rather explores limitations in tools and rules. It’s where you’ll find beauty when you hear nature’s randomness coalesce with predictable structures rooted in contemporary electronic music. Inspired by artists like Allessadro Cortini, d’Voxx and Ripperton but also more classical composers like Arvo Part and Erik Satie. Poging II’ asks you to slow down, even sit down and make room for contemplation.
