"[...] the trio deliver lively and unpredictable digital high-energy bursts by working in a very dynamic and inter-active environment, where one’s merest gesture or thought is transformed instantly into powerful sweeps of crackly texturised beltage [...] Fine work which transcends many of the clichés and pitfalls of laptop music." (Ed Pinsent, The Sound Projector)

ABATTOIR: Audrey Chen & Robert van Heumen Evil Rabbit Records ERR 12 © 2009 € 12 (incl shipping)
"Digital brutalism in free form, vehement expressions, heightened efforts, wailings and atonal lamentations are all performed with uninterrupted breathing techniques - the electronic manipulation is relentless, full of powerful distortions, melancholic melodies and experimental combinations. Authentic, intricate compositions [...]." (Aurelio Cianciotta, Neural.it)

Robert van Heumen Stranger Creative Sources Recordings cs116 © 2009 € 12 (incl shipping)
Stranger is inspired by Albert Camus' L’Étranger, Philip K. Dick's Do androids dream of electric sheep, the film Bladerunner and as always by L.E.J. Brouwer. It all started when I read this essay (offline here). "[...] Van Heumen serves up strong electro-acoustic music out of the Raaijmakers and Koenig tradition." (Brian Olewnick, just outside)

Whistle Pig Saloon (Robert van Heumen, John Ferguson) Creative Sources Recordings cs160 © 2009 € 12 (incl shipping)
" [...] enjoy and translate this almost-palpably visual, cerebral yet immediately mesmeric work [...] this music exudes the grace and violence of a NASA enterprise: at times lingering in static poses on the dark side of the moon, other moments crashing face-first into the sun." (Dave Madden, The Squid’s Ear)

Robert van Heumen Solitude fridgesound fs002 CDR © 2006
An audio-visual composition based on the extatic feeling of loneliness - awareness of the sounds normally unheard: the fridge, faint sound from outside the room, heater switching on - with texts from `the invention of solitude` by Paul Auster. "... Solitude is so intense that you don`t need to read a manual beforehand. The piece is as good as the book and unfolds in its own way. It is rare that the experience of silence, witch belongs to reading and loneliness, is captured so adequately in moving imagery and sound." (Joost Heijthuijsen)
