about

Jos Smolders started working with Philips reel to reel recorder when he was 15 years old. During the early 1980s he was a founding member of the renowned Dutch electroacoustic ensemble THU20. Ever since he has recorded countless albums and collaborations that have been released by himself and labels like Cronica Electronica and Moving Furniture Records. He now works as a sound designer, mastering engineer and composer in Tilburg (The Netherlands) @ his EARLabs Studio.

lyrics

« Amuse-gueule » is the outcome of a few sessions, the sort that I regularly do as a practice. I recorded the Blippoo in July and the Hordijk on August 7, 2021. The work as a whole was constructed and finished on August 11.
There are two strains: one is a Blippoo improvisation which I recorded for Wouter van Veldhoven. Wouter has yet to make good on his promise to elaborate it into a work of his own. The more regular, repetitive strain is the Hordijk driven by a Korg SQ-1 sequence.
Mainly I wanted to juxtapose the steady pulse against the irregular landscape of the Blippoo. I find regular sequences in themselves often both enticing and boring so the Blippoo is a welcome counterpart.
