Blast Off Through the Wicker documents Art Feynman looking for life in the lifeless, questioning what it means to be living.  There is a calm, disciplined pocket to be felt in everything Feynman does; krautrock slink, staccato bounce, and pentatonic bursts of Nigerian Highlife fuzz pour on the temporal canvas with unquestionable ease, never falling in the wrong place. Even more admirable is, that his “canvas” is a four-track tape recorder, and that Blast Off features no loops or drum machines despite its aesthetically faithful motorik and afrobeat underpinnings.  Nowhere is this fact more surprising than on album standout “Slow Down” which pulses along infectiously with a crunchy backbeat, and deftly arpeggiating bass lines that are so locked-in that it would be hard to fault an unknowing ear for assuming the whole thing is tediously programmed.

There are gentler sides to Blast Off that conjure the spacey tenderness of Arthur Russell inventively and respectfully, without adopting their muse’s palette wholesale. In this regard Blast Off is an endearing collection of songs that capture the ear with warm-yet-clear cassette aesthetics and spot-on musicianship, both of which form an angle that points lovingly to Feynman’s deep and varied influences. Make no mistake-- this one truly is alive.

Art Feynman - "Can't Stand It"

Welcome to Dijf Sanders' (@dijf-sanders) wonderful journey into future exotica. The Belgian musician pens and produces soundtracks to distant, far-flung places that brood with exotica, psychedelia, jazz and electronica.
 
His new album ‘JAVA’, releasing December 8th through W.E.R.F. is a psychedelic and modern search for the sounds of the homonymous Indonesian island. From hours and hours of field recordings, Dijf distilled ten psychedelic pieces which ride on waves of ecstasy and trance, and bridge the gap between two worlds. Tribal rhythms and warm melodies are fused to a seamless and beautiful musical work in utopia.
 
Armed with a set of field recorders, Dijf traveled to every urban and rural corner of Indonesia in the spring of this year. ‘Kacapi’, ‘Kendang’, ‘Angklung’, ‘Calung’ or ‘Gamelan’ are not the names of indigenous tropical diseases by the way, but those of local instruments that Dijf encountered on his adventurous musical quest.
 
For two weeks the American expert ethnographer Palmer Keen stood by Dijf through his total immersion into the island’s colourful culture and rich, ceremonial traditions. As a contemporary incarnation of ethnomusicologist Alan Lomax, Dijf collected an impressive repertory of recordings, commissioned by the Europalia Arts Festival and KAAP Creative Compass.

On his return to Belgium, Dijf headed straight back into the studio with the gathered material and invited some of his musical soulmates to put the icing on the cake. It is no coincidence that the three guests – Nathan Daems, Filip Vandebril and Simon Segers – are all part of Black Flower, a band that famously flirts with Eastern sounds.

The Brugge-born, Gentbrugge-based musician is one of those great Flemish talents. In the past, he earned his stripes with Teddiedrum and The Violent Husbands and has produced bands like Kenji Minogue and Blackie & The Oohoos. He has also released music under his own name including the critically acclaimed album ‘Moonlit Planetarium’.

Exclusive Premiere: Dijf Sanders "Jaipong" (W.E.R.F. Records)

Hey you, 

I had a lot of fun with this. The instrumental is a WHOLE SONG by a WHOLE COMPOSER named Colleen. It's called Soul Alphabet, from her album Captain of None. I do not own it, and I hope, if she sees this, she enjoys it as much as I do. 

It's a love song, for a lover I hope to attract. By moving with intention and purpose and joy. So enjoy! 

Much Love, 
Nirve

I've Been!
