Description
Following on from the success of "Tape 1/Tape 2" and "Tape 3/Tape 4" on Soundway Records, Felbm delivers an extended vinyl edition of his 2021 cassette release "Elements of Nature". Field recordings and an array of new instruments and textures abound, as Felbm explores new territory in library music, jazz and classical contemporary. The album includes obi strip, fold-out poster and 2 vinyl-only tracks.
In January 2021, Eelco Topper (Felbm) went into hermit mode by way of a two-week residency at Buitenplaats Doornburgh, a former monastery on the outskirts of his hometown of Utrecht, Netherlands. On arrival, the contemplative architecture of the building and the peace of the surrounding landscapes energized Topper so much that these initial ideas blossomed into nearly 50 minutes of intimate 4-track cassette recordings.
Here, Topper successfully preserves the joyful naÔvetÈ of the Tapes series while exploring sweeping new ground, resulting in a decisive step forward for Felbm as a composer, producer and artist.
