Over the past years I’ve been working with Bert Hornikx (drums/electronics) and visual artist Martijn Pillards (Monho) on a new HRNS record called TAWAZUN – Arabic for “balance” or “equilibrium”, not as a fixed state but as a movement between chaos and calm.
The album consists of five improvised pieces for piano/Rhodes, drums and electronics, each circling a different facet of that movement: solitude (Ekaki), twilight (Sandhya), connection (Mitakuye Oyasin), distraction (Viksepa) and wandering (Homo Viator). The music lives somewhere between ambient and slow, contemplative improvisation – made for late nights and in-between moments rather than big climaxes.
TAWAZUN is out digitally now, and alongside the digital release we’ve opened a Bandcamp pre-order for a limited 10″ vinyl edition. It’s an all-or-nothing pressing:
– the record will only be made if we reach €1500 in pre-orders by 13 March
– if we don’t hit the goal, the album stays digital-only and all contributions are fully refunded
If this world resonates with you and you’d like to support, you can pre-order the vinyl via Bandcamp. If you prefer to avoid shipping costs and know me personally, you can also get in touch directly to reserve a copy – those reservations are included in the total as well.
- €24 – regular copy
- €30 – signed copy
- from €50 – your name printed in the credits
We’ll only press the record if we reach €1500 in pre-orders. If not, the album will remain digital-only and all contributions are fully refunded.
