Belgian percussionist and composer Karen Willems is a serial collaborator, but hadn’t worked with an electronic artist before her residency for the Rewire 2021 - online edition in May with Machinefabriek. Dutch producer Rutger Zuydervelt works with drone, noise, ambient music and field recordings to create glacial soundscapes, eerie electro-acoustic environments and crushing walls of static. Check out the outcome of their residency in full now, filmed in the imposing Electriciteitsfabriek in The Hague.
