Marking A Boundary With The Turning Point
My new album with Radboud Mens
CD and download. Available here
Working with Radboud Mens on this album was a true pleasure, an inspiration, and a joy. We pushed this album to the limit, listening and revisiting it until everything felt just right, yet the spontanity remains intact. Even now, the album feels perfect in every wayโfrom the creative process to the album art and the label. The limited CD edition sold out in just a few days, but you can still enjoy the download.
This album explores the tension between horizontal and vertical musical events. The horizontal elements create an illusion of immobility, yet within this apparent silence, small acoustic events introduce an elusive dynamic. What one listener perceives as an inconspicuous sonic detail might be considered by another as the focal point of their auditory experience.
Releasedate:ย June 7th, 2024
All tracks played, recorded, mixed, edited and mastered by Ard Janssen & Radboud Mens
Artwork by Aldje van Meer and Radboud Mens

In this video, the scenery reflects the tension between horizontal and vertical musical events described in the album, where the apparent stillness reveals small, dynamic acoustic occurrences that can be perceived differently by each listener. What one perceives as an inconspicuous sonic detail, another can consider the focal point of their auditory experience.

“The ambient backdrop Ard Bit waves as to underline the quiet and slow country life depicted in the field recordings”
Vital Weekly
“….over the course of seven tracks and 21 minutes Janssen amalgamates a plethora of often times washed out, cut up or otherwise unidentifiable fragments of Field Recordings with experimental electro-acoustic treatments….”
