Hi,
It has been a while since there was a last update on the site. This has two reasons of which one is quite sad and the other is just nothing much to tell.
At this point we would have expected to have the Orphax CD “Tragedie van een liedjesschijver zonder woorden” to be out, though (this is the sad news) during production something went wrong with money and my middle man. At this moment I have no clue when the Orphax CD will arrive, if it ever does.
The money problems are still not solved, although I have paid in August already. I hope to have news about this in early January but there is seriously nothing to say. If it won’t workout as planned I will have to see how to continue.
There are amounts of plans, but without this CD and new money (from sales) these have to wait.
Though, this year has not only been about this sad moment. In 2011 we had the first two living room concerts, first Cam Deas and The Puddle Parade had a visit and later Nils Rostad and Sindre Bjerga had a visit.
Also we had the amazing Machinist “Of What Once Was” CD released, which got some really well reviews in several International magazines and blogs.
And we also had the great handmade CD-R release for Sindre Bjerga & Nils Rostad live at Moving Furniture HQ.
Moving Furniture Records now also has a nice easy in use Bandcamp page you could check out to order all releases in physical or digital format. Check here for all the available releases http://movingfurniturerecords.bandcamp.com/.
Last if anyone is interested I have started a new blog where I write about my own record and cd collection. For example you can check out the Top 10 for 2011 there: http://collectingrecords.wordpress.com/
Hopefully we will have some good news early in 2012 and if not we will see what we can set up to work out our plans. Think of a reissue of the amazing Accrual album Cheophiori and new work from Wouter van Veldhoven. So keep an eye on our site, twitter and facebook.
Rest me to say:
All the best for 2012, that it may be a bright year for all of us.
Take care,
Sietse van Erve
