Discography
Kreng - L'Autopsie Phénoménale De Dieu - CD (Miasmah Records)
Kreng released an exclusive EP titled 'The Pleiades (aka The Seven Sisters)' for the excellent Fant00m-crew. The entire EP is available as a FREE DOWNLOAD.
Kreng started as a strictly sample-based project, working with sounds from various sources: free-jazz, first generation electronics, improv, classical modernism, vintage ethnomusical fieldrecordings, etc... The project mutated into a cinematic, theatrical device that has been used by various film and theater directors. Kreng scored more that 20 theatre- & danceproductions, most of them produced by the Belgian theatre-company Abattoir Fermé.
Kreng produced a remix for Badawi's Unit Of Resistance Album (Badawi = Raz Mesinai who also records for John Zorn's Tzadik label)
The debut album, titled ' L'Autopsie Phenomenale De Dieu' is now released on the excellent Miasmah label (artistic co-ordination by Erik Skodvin, aka Svarte Greiner / Deaf Center).

Imagine: You are an North-African immigrant to Spain or a South-American trying to get into US who has not much more than a few suitcases, his ability to work hard, willing to pay with slavery and to do dirty work - work that no inhabitant of the country you want to go to would even think of considering.
You already travelled a far way and left many good friends behind that you maybe never will see again.
You stumble out of the nearly falling apart bus or the smuggler boat, where you had to pay your income of a half year to that grim looking people with hearts of stone - just to take you aboard.
You are sighing gladly that you survived the travel and now take your first steps in your new home country.
And you are soon aware: You are disrespected, treated badly, your woman is seen as a kind of cheap prostitute, other people's children don't want to play with your children.
You are thinking of your former homecountry with feelings of sentimentality and you know there is no hope: you cannot go back...
Hey, hope you don't mind a shameless plug for my latest release. "Occam's Razor" is my 2nd album, and it's up for free download on my page! I've worked and poured myself into this project so much for the last 3 months, so I hope you enjoy it, and I would love to hear back about it :)
Thank you for accepting our friend request!! Really appreciate it. Wish you an awesome Saturday night! Rock and Rollon!! =) Very best regards from Merlin’s Company!
“Beware of the armadilloes whose dark shadows sweeps the streets”
Imagine: you are in a small space vessel. Lightyears and lightyears from home. You came closer to the gravitational abyss of a black hole than sane.
Your vessel is not powerful enough, you are drawn into that hole. You're trying to call home. You only get incoming alien conversation but no help.
This are the last minutes before the big squash - of that you know you won't even notice - too fast. You are desperate ! And then the only choice left - is to take what comes and not to die like a looser. You die head up.
The track is called "Hello Earth", a LoFi-classic from the mid 80s of mine and I hope: You're curios now :)
Trespassers William (Seattle, US) are the duo of Matt Brown and Anna-Lynne Williams.

A new EP, The Natural Order of Things, is set to be released on Gizeh Records. They will make a church performance with special guests.
Glissando (Sheffield, UK) “have the kind of atmosphere that can captivate and relax in equal measure- never before has tranquillity sounded so urgent. While track lengths of over 10 minutes may fail to hold the attention of the ADHD sufferers among us, with patience it plays like a majestic dream. And it's one you'll never want to wake up from." NME
