about

“Travelling Waves II was recorded on a pipe organ in a former synagogue, which is part of the Willem Twee Studios in the Netherlands. This album focusses on the quirks of the old organ, its mechanical noises, the breathing of the pump and the sighing of the pipes rather than on actual tonal playing. The organ felt like a wounded beast that reacts to touch, groaning, snarling and changing position with snapping joints, scarred but very much alive. Instead of making the beast sing, I want to listen to what it had to say when I let it speak for itself.”

Sova Stroj is Luxembourg-based producer Michel Flammant. With a history in black metal, rock and synth pop bands, he has spent the last decade delving into experimental and electronic music. Although modular and software-based synthesis are at the core of his music, he often incorporates different and seldom used instruments, a love for sound always defining his compositional work. Keen on detail and precision, his compositions wander from their electronic roots with ease and poise, a defined eclecticism always running through them. In the studio as well as when performing live, improvisation and chance are integral parts of his music. Sova Stroj has previously released on Testtoon and Rohstoff Records.
