The Visual + Ruisvogel
The Visual is an Amsterdam / Antwerp band, founded by Anna van Rij and known for their emotional and atmospheric songs; their music has been compared to artists such as Nick Cave, Jeff Buckley, Wolf Alice and The Doors. Debut 'Moments Of Being' was a stunning, introspective record that documented Van Rij's cathartic quest for freedom, identity and wholeness.
The follow-up 'The Spirit Of Age' sounded more light-hearted, with a more outward-looking songwriting; about how we as a species interact with both each other and our natural environment. During the corona pandemic, The Visual never took their foot off the accelerator, they wrote new work and recorded it with Pieterjan Coppejans (Eefje de Visser, Sylvie Kreusch) in his homely Robot Studios in Ghent. In November they will share their next studio album with the world.
The band experiments with broadening sounds and textures rather than seeking perfection, so that the songs automatically take on a more light-hearted character. “We have now gained so much experience as producers and composers that we can really add new things to our interplay in a space. So right now it's a combination between studio and traditional, plus our own sound, which makes our music just that little bit more modern . A little more electronic, a little more diving into the unexpected.” The current formation consists of Timon Persoon (electronics/synths/synth bass), Django Trienes (guitar) and Christophe Claeys (drums).
Ruisvogel is the ambient solo project of Rotterdam based guitarist/vocalist Daanie van den IJssel (Neighbours Burning Neighbours).
Ruisvogel creates compelling noisy drones and experimental lush soundscapes. They use DIY tapeloops, synthesizers and samples.
Fun fact: they first started making bleep-bloop synth sounds during an exchange project by the Hamburger Community of Live residents in '21, where musicians who normally make guitar music were challenged to work with anologue synthesizers and make a song. Fast forward to a year later, Daanie's room and heart is filled with synthesizers. Follow their instagram account for soothing ambient tape loops and come by to listen to Ruisvogel and their plastic dinosaurs who help the tape loops turn.
For fans of: Nick Cave, Nadine Shah, Grouper, ambient tape loops, plastic dinosaurs
