'Dubbeltjes' consists of 11 tracks recorded between 2008 and 2013. Rutger Zuydervelt a.k.a. Machinefabriek talks about 'Dubbeltjes' (the Dutch equivalent of a dime in the pre-Euro days). Short playing time formats, like 7-inches and 3-inch CDRs, are great to work with. More than on regular albums, the durational limitations are useful to experiment with and to create really focused, crystallized pieces. Most of these tracks focus on a very limited palette of sounds. 'Hillary' and 'Jeffery' for example, are constructed using solely trombone recordings from (you guessed it) Hillary Jeffery (of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble). 'Huiswerk' Part 1 and 2 were made using a simple set-up of electric guitar and sampler. And probably a suprise in my discography are 'My Funny Valentine' and 'Oh Doctor Jesus', two jazz classics, in collaboration with bass clarinet player Gareth Davis. All these songs have a very specific quality to them and most of them aren't available on any physical format anymore. The tracks are presented as pairs or trios, as they appeared on their original releases. It's up to you, the listener, to either experience these combinations seperately, hear the album in continuous play, or use shuffle mode to make new combinations. 'Dubbeltjes' is released in a 3-panel ecopack, in a strictly limited edition of 300 copies.
