The latest Machinist record was released last month as the second release on the Betontoon roster. Entitled Viens avec Moi dans le Vide ['come with me into the void'], it is built around a reading of the poem by the same name written by Yves Klein [wiki].

The central track of the album contains a reading by Sven Schlijper of the poem, and indeed the whole of the album fits the theme; it is Machinist‘s most refined album to date, containing fascinating dark ambiances and drones, shimmering noises, minimal guitar melodies, and some abstract cello parts by Elleke Bosma.
