Poltrock brengt drie albums uit in 2018!

Maar liefst vijf jaar werkt Poltrock aan zijn debuut.

 In zijn nieuwe Brusselse studio gaat Poltrock aan de slag met analoge en modulaire synthesizers.  Hij haalt zijn vintage elektromechanische piano's uit hun context en drijft samplers tot het uiterste. Een boeiende zoektocht naar de organische facetten van de elektronische muziek.

Poltrock zit achter zijn piano en experimenteert met het instrument.  Tape, papier, kettingen, bouten en andere voorwerpen vervormen de klank op verrassende en inspirerende wijze. Percussieve klanken worden beats en akkoorden worden bezwerende soundscapes. Poltrock verdiept zich in deze experimentele techniek -‘prepared piano'- en combineert ze met elektronica. 

2017. Poltrock tokkelt op die oude weerspannige Steinway buffetpiano in de woonkamer, de piano die hem al meer dan drie decennia vergezelt. Hij plaatst lappen vilt tussen de hamers en de snaren, en laat zich betoveren door het intieme geluid. Op slechts drie dagen tijd improviseert hij ‘Mutes' bij elkaar : verstilde en naakte piano-improvisaties ontdaan van elke vorm van virtuositeit of techniek.  De essentie. 

Mutes, Moods & Machines

In 2018 dan vertaalt deze bijna vijf jaar durende odyssee zich in de trilogie ‘Mutes, Moods & Machines'. Drie platen die Poltrock's liefde voor de 88 toetsen van de piano elk op hun eigen manier belichten en die met een interval van 88 dagen zullen worden uitgebracht door het Nederlandse label ‘Excelsior Recordings' (V2 in BE).

Release data:
29.03.18 – International Piano Day (de 88e dag van het jaar): 'Mutes'. Een verzameling korte en intieme piano-schetsen op de mechanisch gedempte piano.
25.06.18: 'Moods'. Atmosferische en cinematografische soundscapes waarin natuurlijke piano-klanken hand in hand gaan met geprepareerde piano's, dreigende drones en dichte klanktapijten.
21.09.18: 'Machines'. Zwaar bewerkte en repetitieve piano's met hypnotiserende electronica.

Like drinking dandelion wine- it grows on you over time
Format: Hardcover
I was not terribly engaged with this book initially. The writing was beautiful. Poetic. But it was easy to put down and did not compel me to pick the book up again. Yet I had been warned of this and had been told to stick with it - and the advice was good. There is a slow poetic build as the reader comes to know the town and swim in its nostalgic melancholy. Ultimately, the book was a beautiful read. Never gripping but reflective and perfect for a contemplative read. It is about the passing of time. Youth and our mortality. Our eccentricities as our strengths. It is a picture of a small town in 1928, in summer, if you were white and middle class. It is a time and place and yet somehow captures something universal about the nature of memory and an awareness of inevitable death. About life in its truest sense.

great book!
so cute and driving, definitely pretty predictable but it’s a fun, in between books, or if you just don’t have anything to read, book. definitely recommend. its a little cheesy at times but it’s good overall. i did not like the main character 😭 she’s a little bit annoying and overly blind socially, but i liked Chase and he kept me reading. i will say it one again; i think it was a really good read and it’s pretty light-hearted and a good idea with the enemies-to-lovers thing. loved it!

Cheesy romance that hits you in all the feels.
A cheesy romance full of tropes but it pulls them off and keeps you smiling and rooting for the main characters the whole way through.
