about

Small pieces eroding
Of memories
Of images
Of thoughts
Of sounds.

22 tracks, none more than 2.59 minutes long and often a lot shorter
than that. Purposefully brief to create something that resembles a
fleeting memory of something else, something more elaborate. And when combined, they became a cohesive narrative.

A lot of these songs were sketched out during a stay in Berlin in
December 2021. Taking long walks on cold, often abandoned streets
during the day and working at night. Musically inspired by musique concrete and other experimental compositions, especially the works of Bernard Parmegiani, Steve Reich, Okkyung Lee and Jonny Greenwood.

Released on cassette and digital.
With artwork and an exclusive 32-page booklet.
In a limited run of 50.
Release date: June 6th 2022

As nobuka, Michel van Collenburg makes experimental, lo-fi electronic music. Working from a DIY mentality with field recordings, tape recorders, modular and other analog equipment. In his live performances he aims to create meditative soundscapes that have often been described as hypnotic and cinematographic.

Musically he’s influenced by Ryuichi Sakamoto, Thom Yorke, Mica Levi, Machinefabriek and Jim O’Rourke. Lately he’s been spotted diving into a musique concrete, modern composition and free-jazz rabbit hole. Outside of music he finds inspiration in the works of Haruki Murakami, Charles Bukowski, Daido Moriyama and Francesca Woodman.
