On October 23th, 2011 I performed live at the OCCII in Amsterdam, NL as opening act for Charalambides, Steve Gunn and others.

My intention was to do a set with throat singing, though due to a horrible pain in my throat for 2 weeks I couldn’t practice. So instead I grabbed back to an older performance I did before.
What you hear here is 26 different frequency layers of my sounds which all get their moment throughout the piece.
In the source recording there are small variations, which change the sound continually, while the way the different layers are played bring a huge variation in the sound palette.
Because the way the sounds are reworked and played only in small fractions of the piece you can actually hear what the source is: my voice.

Go get it for a small donation of 1 euro on Bandcamp.

Confused is an improvisation done with guitar, voice and audiomulch that was lost in the archives that in a recent struggle through old recordings popped up (among others).
The CD-R comes in a hand scratched metal box which also contains two inserts, a picture and a handwritten personal note. The CD-R is limited to 50 pieces, but there is also a digital version (without the personal note though).
The price is 8 euro incl. shipping in the EU and 9 euro incl. shipping to the rest of the world.
You can listen to and buy the release here: http://orphax.bandcamp.com/album/confused

It has been a while since I have released new work, but finally some changes are coming in this.
First up will be a release somewhere next week (hopefully May 1st) which will go by the title Confused.

At this moment I am working on the artwork which will be added in the special metal box that will host the CD-R. Besides that there will also be some handwritten insert, which has a small number on it for the collectors who care about those things.

The release will be limited to 50 and will be available for 9 euro incl. shipping in Europe and 10 incl. shipping in the rest of the world (or 8 excl. shipping).

More on this and other upcoming releases soon.

While some months ago I was through all my copies of A Room With A View, I got 7 extra copies from the label which are the last ones available for sale.

You can now order them directly from me by sending me an e-mail at orphax@orphax.com
Price is 7,58 euro in Europe and 7,90 for the rest of the world (this incudes shipping) or get it digital through bandcamp

Lately I have been uploading some old tunes I have made in the past and put them in a set at SoundCloud.
You can find unreleased pieces, remixes and radio broadcasts in this set.
Not all tunes are as great but it somehow shows the development I have gone trough the past years.

I hope to add more, even older tunes, in the near future but this depends on quality of the recordings and if I can actually still find them in my collection.
Have fun listening.

Next week Tuesday I will be performing at Proeflokaal #92 in Utrecht.

It has been years since my last performance at Proeflokaal. My last performance there has been released this year as Die Helden Sind Nicht Mehr.
For this performance I am going to do something totally different though. It will be a very minimal set.

The evening will be together with For Ali, Aux Pulse, The Void Pointers and Florian Wittenburg.

Location: Muziekhuis Utrecht
Loevenhoutsedijk 301
3552 XE Utrecht
Entrance: €5,-
Start: 20:30
End: 23:30
