2010-06-27 - I got to know the lovely Belgian Slaapwel Records label in fall 2009 and was impressed by Wim Maesschalks original approach in releasing records. "Nomen est omen" as they say in latin so Wim only releases records that make him fall asleep at night. So I've asked him if I could have a go at it and he agreed. I succeeded in giving him a good night's rest with a 30-minute piece called Ruis (a dutch word for the sound, made by wind in the trees or waves on a shore), composed in november 2009. You can check out the music here.

2006-11-25 - I've already got some very nice feedback on the sonmifourfiveone page at MySpace.com. Thanks everyone (especially Akira, who was so kind to let me know he saw my new cd in a record shop in Tokyo- Japan)...
2006-11-25 - Following the web 2.0 - hype I've desided to create my own little MySpace-spot. Unfortunately the sonmi451-moniker was already taken so I've chosen sonmifourfiveone as an alias on MySpace...
2006-11-20 -  Famous netlabel Monotonik released some of the old tunes of the sold-out Vladivostok-cd as a netrelease called "The Quiet EP" I've got surprisingly good reactions on that release so big thanks to Simon Carless who runs the label...
2006-11-06 - Belgian recordlabel U-cover just released my new album called "A Phosphorous Spot". It's much more atmospheric in style than my previous album. If you like Shuttle 358 or the minimal stuff from the Kranky or 12K-labels, you might like "A Phosphorous Spot" as well. Check out a track from the new album here or listen to some snippets over here. It's out on 500 copies. I hope you like it. You can always drop me a line and tell me what you think of it…!

2006-09-16 - Here's a link to a mix by Shuttle 358 (a so-called "Typerecords Radioshow" as mixes are called in Type Records-speak. It's a beautiful mix with many unknown Japanese gems (at least unknown to me). An ideal chilly soundtrack for those long winter evenings...
2006-08-10 - For your listening pleasure I've put my first mix (30 minutes of ambient & lazy beats) online. You can grab it here. An excellent listening experience  featuring artists like a.o. Julien Neto, Helios & Sabi,  for those lazy summer days... Contact me & I'll send you a playlist.
 
2006-08-05 - Anyone into field-recordings might check out Shawn Hatfield's (a.k.a the infamous Twerk) website.

2006-07-11 - Check out Loscil's downloadable release called Stases on Canadian netlabel One. It gorgeous & it's free. Loscil creates beautiful textures & drones for the excellent Kranky-label.
 
2006-06-26 - Robert Henke of Monolake fame (also co-founder of Ableton, the sequence-software "par excellence" for all electronic artists who cannot (or are to lazy to ;-) program their own Max-MSP software patches), has created a strangely beautiful ambient drone with only one single midi-note, played in a series of linked Ableton effect-patches. It might be considered as a "perpetuum mobile", created in Ableton. Apparently, it is created in a beta-version of the soon to be released Ableton 6. The track can be downloaded for free in the download section of the Monolake website. I prefer the long ambient version (66 minutes), created on june 26th, over the shorter one, created on july 6th.
 
2006-06-24 - Those who haven't discovered Type Records yet should definitely check out this excellent UK-label. They have some of the finest electronic/folktronic artists on their roster: Helios, Deafcenter, Julien Neto etc... From time to time, Type Records spoil us fans with a so-called Radio Show (i.e. a mix, varying in length from half an hour till an hour). Check out their radio-shows here. I like the Shuttle358-mix best...
 
januari 2006 - Vladivostok sold out @ u-cover. I've put all the songs online so you can still enjoy them. Check them out in the audio-section...
