Orphax – Less Is More

In August 2021 Moving Furniture Records curated a music program accompanying the minimal art exhibition ‘Less is More’, presented by Polderlicht at Factor-IJ, Amsterdam.

On this occasion the Orphax performance was recorded live. This CD features the full set – no edits, no cuts.

This live set merges Orphax’s fascination for minimalist art and his idiosyncratic take on drone music, offering warm and organic atmospheres in which the listener drifts away, losing not only senses of time and space, but – maybe, too – oneself.

So I instantly shot him a message asking if it was too weird to do exactly that. He replied: “not too weird”.

Gagi Petrovic – Choosing Freedom

Jos Smolders & Jim O’Rourke – Additive Inverse

Jos Smolders & Jim O’Rourke – Additive Inverse
What if sounds were to fold in on themselves? Quite quickly after being ‘born’, even. Only to be released back into the ‘normal’ world of linear projection and moving waveforms from a resonant source to the ear drum to hearing and listening, some album length later?
