I wrote a few words about the upcoming Interstellar Funk tape for Artificial Dance:
Artificial Dance founder Interstellar Funk releases Live At The Rest Is Noise – Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ. Limited to 150 cassettes, the recording documents Interstellar Funk’s performance at Amsterdam’s Muziekgebouw concert hall in October 2021.
The 45-minute set ebbs and pulses, leaving behind Interstellar Funk’s penchant for hard-wearing club sounds in favour of melody and texture. Some passages mirror elements from the studio album Into The Echo (Dekmantel, 2022), but the live setting allows Interstellar Funk to expand and explore richly detailed sonic spaces that highlight his skills as a composer-performer.
(AD018) Interstellar funk live at the Rest is Noise – Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, Amsterdam (14/10/2021). Limited cassettes and digitally available at the end of July. Buy it here.
