L’incertitude ist die erste Zusammenarbeit der beiden Experimentalmusiker Rutger Zuydervelt aus den Niederlanden und Bruno Duplant aus Frankreich.

This is the first work I hear by Pedro Rebelo, who studied in Edinburgh music and architecture.

Das Album besteht aus zwei längeren Tracks, deren auf meist akustischen Instrumenten, zahlreichen Field Recordings und mehrfacher Bearbeitung basierende Sounds von einer trügerischen Scheinharmonie sind. “L’incertitude, is Bruno Duplant and Rutger Zuydervelt’s first album as a duo. It came …
Collaborations are another thing that is on Zuydervelt’s plate for many years; with Gareth Davies, Tim Catlin, Subterreanact, Anne Bakker, Chris Dooks and loads more (I thought for once not to mention the more famous ones).
