PRINS, GERT-JAN - Break Before Make

"This is Amsterdam-based Gert-Jan Prins ' first full-length release. Break Before Make is an arsenal of customized electronics, timpani and voice. Like its predecessor Risk , this record investigates the sonic possibilities to be found in electronic devices and circuits. However, this is no noodling experimental stuff but a compact set of finely-crafted sonics. Short, sharp shocks with a bit of timpani thrown in. Besides his solo-project, current projects include MIMEO , Synchronator and The Flirts . He has collaborated with Pita , Thomas Lehn , Lee Ranaldo , Anne la Berge , Fennesz , Vacuum Boys , Marcus Schmickler , Giuseppe Ielasi , Carlos Giffoni and many more."
