N / Robot Music (C46) is originally released by Lonktaar, using recycled tapes.
Production, artwork, inlay, extra’s and lots of caring by Michele Mazzani.
From their press release:
N / Robot Music: two intense sides of analog tape manipulations…
Rinus is not a newcomer at the lonktaar headquarters. He delivers us some dusty and quiet field recordings caught in Salento during winter 2020…
Toni Nakamura lives with his wife and three children in the countryside near Reggio Calabria. This is his debut work: cut-ups and loops, bizzarre takes and sounds from his collection of stuff that over the last decades he has found on the streets of Reggio C. and Messina.
My copies have sold out. Try lonktaar.
Ed Pinsent wrote a review in The Sound Projector: “Both of these creators have found currents of pulsing energy in the environment, surging away in the places where we least expect to find them. Rinus Van Alebeek may think we can harness this energy, and channel it; Toni Nakamura just loves the chaos of it. Recommended, if you can find a copy.”
