From the Belgian experimental label Stroom — which built its name on reissuing and compiling overlooked electronic music and now also puts out contemporary releases — comes a set of poetry reading, vocals and electronics. Alongside "Kwart Voor Straks," a title meaning something like a quarter century ago, there are pieces such as "Aeiou" and "Umami" that seem to take their cues from Japanese, plus tracks like "Mantra Voor Mikes."

Alex Deforce & Charlotte Jacobs are overtaking emptyness in shades of silence. Language has something to say here. Voices combined in poetic levels of belgitude. Poetry rewriting days and nights.
A collaboration between poet Alex Deforce, who heads up Belgium's ON POINT (home to Leron Thomas and Billy Palmier, among others), and Charlotte Jacobs, a Belgian-born, Brooklyn-based artist working in electronics and vocal performance. Artist Wiet Lengeler guests on Elektron's MONO MACHINE synthesizer and additional production. Voice, words, electronics. Feedback. Beats. A one-of-a-kind world. (Original Japanese text by Saito)
