In the
Felbm
project, Dutch multi-instrumentalist
Eelco Topper
steps away from his previous synthesizer-laden sounds as
Falco Benz
, towards a much looser, simpler, and sketch-like approach. Picking up a number of acoustic instruments, he began experimenting with a Tascam 4-track tape recorder and allowed these sketches to flourish. The result is
Tape 1
and
Tape 2
, a two-part project stretching across fifteen tracks -- encompassing fluttering piano melodies, subtle jazz drums, rumba rhythms and soothing ambience. The jazz element links back to Topper's childhood. "I grew up playing drums, switched to playing piano at sixteen and in the mean time I produced hip-hop beats," he recalls. "I went to study jazz piano at the Utrecht Conservatory, which I finished with pain and effort... I was interested more in electronic and present-day music." This mix of being rooted in traditional jazz composition whilst searching for something more contemporary is the perfect encapsulation of these recordings.
Tape 1
's jazz roots are palpable and as things move into
Tape 2
, it takes on a neo-classical, psychedelic soundscape and cinematic quality. Vinyl album comes with dual front cover that can be flipped over, reflecting the project's two-segment structure. For fans of: KPM library records,
