(Note : remastered 2LP on cortizona. Original artwork with 8 inserts including new

1982, Belgium. Jean Hoyoux creates his album of ‘sound therapy’, e.g. a kosmische
odyssey scored for all sorts of synthesisers, delays and filters. Originally released
by Centre de Recherche et d’Etudes and somewhat rare since, this new reissue on new
label cortizona presents this idiosyncratic music on two LPs, along with liner notes
from Edward Ka-Spel and John Olson.

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.
