Aika
(La Scie Dorée - SCIE608) LP $20.00
Aged beauty and deceptively casual cinematic visions by Timo van Luijk. Piano, saxophone, drums, percussion, the voice of van Luijk’s grandmother, extra hiss and crackles evoking ritualistic mood swings and skeletal pulsations. Edition of 400.
Echos Pastoraux
(La Scie Dorée - SCIE811) LP $20.00 (Out-of-stock)
Open-spaced improv where Timo van Luijk's curious collection of small acoustic objects, wind instruments and field recordings cradle Andrew Chalk's sparse, watery electric guitar like a hammock. Small melodies shimmer, birds call and respond to rusty percussion, and the mood remains gentle. With percussion on “Récit Inouï” by Daisuke Suzuki and accidental sounds on “En Aval” by Ian Middleton. Edition of 400.
