Transfolmer is the name Tjeerd Folmer uses for his activities as musician and composer. He has been a musician for more than 25 years, mainly as bass/guitar player in bands. Since about 8 years he’s working solo, composing his own music with the help of electronics, his vocals and acoustic instruments, mainly acoustic guitar. Transfolmer is also performing live now for 3 years, sometimes in collaboration with other musicians or video artists. For Tjeerd, music is a necessity of life. In his music he tries to create a personal atmosphere combining the warm acoustic sounds of guitar and vocals with the more abstract sound of electronics. Transfolmer’s music can probably be best categorized somewhere in between singer songwriter and electronic experiment.

Gluid

Esc.rec. released it’s 8th release, the debut of Gluid (appropiately titled Gluid).

Timon Straatsma, armed with a MiniDisc recorder and microphones, records sounds and atmospheres wherever he goes. Bram van der Oever constructs music with these recordings. Main objective is to keep the sounds as pure as possible and to definitely not use any ‘real’ instruments, drum computers, synths or samples from other sources. Only Bram’s strange habit of damaging cd’s from his collection (resulting in jitters, tics and glitches), setting ashtrays on fire, nearly blowing up speakers and making bizarre throat noises is allowed…
