Machinefabriek Update October 2025

I’m actually not sure why I still cal these posts ‘Machinefabriek Updates’, when most of my output nowadays is issued under my own name… Oh well… Here’s some news:

Rutger Zuydervelt / Machinefabriek @machinefabriek.bsky.social · 7d

With 50 tracks in 65 minutes, this album (or should I say mixtape?) is a bit of a bumpy ride, so buckle up!

The album is available as a pay-what-you-want download and as a CDr edition on Bandcamp. And it's streaming on your platform of choise.

Surprise!
It’s not the most imaginative album title, but it’s definitely spot-on. Selected from over 300 tracks, 'Fifty Favorite Frontlinie Fragments' brings together some of my favorite music cues I created for the Dutch documentary series Frontlinie.

Back in 2010 I self-published a small booklet, with collected sound descriptions by friends, musicians, and artists (incl. Taylor Deupree, Tori Kudo, John Butcher, Sarah Payton, and many more).
It was a fun project, and decided today that I'd share it as a free PDF: shorturl.at/3BIIK

I'm releasing my score for Daniel Linehan's 'The Wonder Of It All' performance on September 9. As you might know, shipping to the US is problematic at this time. If you're from the US, and want a CD copy, I suggest to buy it from Squidco, who have 'em in stock already.

Just curious, but are there more people experiencing problems (with CD or LP orders) with Monotypepressing? Decided to give it a try again (ordering CDs from 'em), but it's such a frustration, the lack of communication and constant delay...
