Yadayn - 01 - Eb

Pendel is the result of chaos, of trying out different recording, producing and composing methods, and of then sculpting sense from the recorded material. Unlike yadayn’s debut Vloed, which was a carefully planned monolyth of sound, a flooding of notes working towards the catharsis of its title track, Pendel is a comparatively eclectic collection of tracks, unified in their originating from the same artistic vision but diversified in their differing circumstances. Some tracks (“Spiegel”, “Pendel”, “Uit”) were composed specifically for the album, some are older compositions (“Raam”, “Veld”, Rust”, “Kerk”), while all of the shorter segues are based on samples taken from old yadayn (demo) recordings, twisted and flexed into new contexts. The eclectic methods blend the composed approach of previous yadayn work and the sampled, electronic approach of his casual work with Gluem. “Pendel” is Dutch for “pendulum” and symbolizes the mood swings found throughout the album and throughout its recording period. 

Pendel was composed, improvised, sampled and recorded by Yadayn (Gowaart Van Den Bossche) at home between summer 2014 and spring 2015. Yadayn played : guitars, ukulele, keyboards, melodica, clarinet, samples.

A little over a year ago I moved into a new house in a new city, new country. One of the many things the house had going for it was the fact that there was an old upright piano in the living room. I've never really sat down to learn to play the piano properly but I enjoy tinkering around on the keys, so moving into this house has given me the opportunity to do so a little more often.

This recording is one of the results of my explorations, a mournful stroll around a few basic chords and a G# pulse. I recorded it several months ago, before it mutated into another more finished song which will be on my upcoming full album, but because today is "Piano Day" I thought I'd revisit this sketch and add a little guitar layer to it. "Binnen" means "inside" in Dutch. As most of us are spending most if not all of our time indoors now it felt appropriate as a title for this little chamber music piece. 

Stay safe, stay sane, stay inside.
