SOLEX Solex Ahoy! The Sound Map Of The Netherlands (2013 UK limited edition 12-track vinyl LP - During the course of the summer of 2008, Elisabeth Esselink [and her partner in sound, Bart van Poppel] trekked the numerous rivers, lakes and waterways covering the twelve provinces of the Netherlands with an old motorboat. In each province a different cast of musicians was invited to climb aboard and purely a l'improviste, create a homage to the Dutch landscape. On returning to her home base in Amsterdam, Esselink took the resulting material full of noises, moods, voices and rhythms back to her studio where she set about processing the recordings into twelve separate sound-image compositions, one for each province. This album features the soundtrack to the documentary film of the same name on both vinyl and CD while also including a Bonus DVD containing the documentary. All three discs are UNPLAYED housed in the picture sleeve which remains sealed within its hype-stickered shrinkwrap SA01).
