Cul de Sac IV --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORTIZONA 007 NASCA NASCA LP 06.2019 Most of the October nights in 1987 you could find Gerry Vergult (Aroma Di Amore, Fred A., Adult Fantasies) and Gerrit Valckenaers (Adult Fantasies, The Colorist Orchestra) in a desolated top studio in Ghent. At that time and place they sneakily crafted and shaped this Nasca record while they were supposed to finish a new Fred A. record. They created an abstract universe where minimal post-punk basslines blend together with radio sounds in "Nothing Toulouse", tropical tribal vibes oscillates between futuristic nostalgia and hunted dreams in "Ketama" and "Ritz", a sampled heartbeat slowly mutates in mesmerizing midnight jazz and a drugged-out dub groove of "Kamayacha" transforms into the inner city blues of "Josaphat". All tracks composed, arranged, and performed by Gerry Vergult and Gerrit Valckenaers. Personnel: Gerrit Valckenaers - pn., sax., clarinet, synths, samples, electronics Gerry Vergult - guitar, bass, synths, samples, electronics. Produced by Koen Van Regenmortel. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORTIZONA 008 KOHN KOHN 1 2LP 09.2019 Imagination: that was the feeling and the starting point of the debut album Jurgen De Blonde recorded under the moniker Kohn in 1998. Surrounded by an old sampler, an analogue synthesizer, a cheap sequencer, acoustic and electric guitar, bass and an electret microphone he modulated and crafted his own personal parallel universe in his bedroom in Gent. A world where the sound of a skipping cd mutates in a shoegaze vibe, hunted mosquitoes are locked in a psycho-acoustic melancholy or ringing phone songs slides into a brutal grime beat echoing the beginning days of Belgian electronic body music. https://www.forcedexposure.com/Catalog/CORTIZONA.008LP.html --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORTIZONA 009 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CORTIZONA 010 BERNARD SZAJNER SOME DEATHS TAKE FOREVER 2LP 02.2021 CORTIZONA 010 BERNARD SZAJNER SOME DEATHS TAKE FOREVER CD 02.2021 CORTIZONA 010 BERNARD SZAJNER SOME DEATHS TAKE FOREVER DL 02.2021 LP 1 A1.
