This EP documents a creative journey FELL undertook at Incubate Festival in late 2013 together with the Kidsorchestra. FELL collaborated with the kids in several workshops. The Kidsorchestra was a temporary band.

Starting out from scratch, they used any sounding material they could find, such as personal belongings, found objects and trash to build simple instruments. Using these, the Kidsorchestra produced rhythmic patterns and sounds, developed a tonal dramaturgy and a performance, found a rhythm, listened (to each other), danced, spoke rhythmically and used technology to discover their unique worlds of sound. The elements found on this EP were designed, tried out and modified collaboratively.

FELL recorded the sound figures and created four pieces of music out of the material by adding beats and melodies to the recordings of the Kidsorchestra and winding the recorded patterns, frazzled voices and athmospheric glimpses through a digital microcosm and the guts of selfmade electronics.

Album van Amba Klapwijk

When voices are separate from each other (tryout)

Sticking to the band’s grotty beginnings and love for stripped down minimalist riffs, emaciated dreamy clouds of sound, and a desire for a musical output that is catchy, grooving, yet challenging, “and now that we are here” is a labour of love, created in complicated and stressful conditions, with an intense liveliness and passion. The songs were developed over the better part of a year, constantly being rehearsed, performed and slightly altered, and culminating in a careful balance of nuanced structures, whilst also keeping space for spattering of controlled improvisation.  

The album was recorded live in a single day by Edvards Broders, who put up with them through the long mixing process. The only overdubs were the vocals that were recorded at the end of the day’s session. The album was re-mastered by Giorgos Kravvaritis, and is now out as a co-release with Polyscope, available to buy and listen to digitally and on CD. The album’s artwork is adorned with photos of a beautiful installation artwork by Taisuke Koyama and Takashi Kawashima that was shown at the Hague’s LhGWR gallery.

and now that we are here

The Wonder Maze

Attempting to swim between minimalist aesthetics, the noisy outbursts of off-beat rock and the freedom of improvisation, Quaich was born in Greece but found itself washed out in The Hague. Having started as a punky youthful burst of energy some time ago and despite members moving between several countries, the group retained its initial energetic spark while gradually exploring a more delicate sonic side.
