Forget, by René van Munster

Forget

by René van Munster

supported by

Christian Smith A gem of a mini album. A journey through the body of the cello emerges from the sonic precision of the production. this is a *very* unique listening experience. well worth the wait ;) Recommend listening to as one 20 ish minute piece of music, but each track stands on its own as well, each with a distinctive mood and direction. Favorite track: Timegrains.

Anthony Fiumara Using the cello as the basic sound for his electronic compositions, René van Munster has created a poetic EP. It is beautiful to hear how he stacks, distorts and processes the sounds of the cello. Sometimes in dreamy soun dscapes, or in rhythmically strong music. Forget is a wonderful, diverse album.

frerik Mesmerizing album on which classical cello playing meets electronics wizardry. But I found it much more than only an exploration of this instrument setup: the tracks each have a strong narrative and the full ep feels like a journey on which you’re meeting the artist personally. Can listen to it over and over and discovering new layers and connections. Give it a try, you will love it!
