Niels Van Heertum: JK's Kamer +50.92509° +03.84800°
ByAt first listen, there may not seem to be much happeningthis is not an album that is well served by a 30-second sample. But Van Heertum is slowly building a shifting, textural sound world. There's a lot of activity; it just happens gradually. Any listener willing to focus for forty minutesthere are four tracks, the final "Zon" the longest, at fifteen minuteswill be rewarded with a complex soundscape.
Far denser than the "solo" description would usually imply, JK's Kamer +50.92509° +03.84800° is a rich listening experience. As with previous Smeraldina-Rima releases, the physical CD is a lavish multimedia package. Artist Levi Seeldraeyers has provided a striking screen print, with the CD decoration echoing the owls in the design, along with a printed DVD-sized clear plastic sleeve for the print + CD. While the music stands very well on its own, downloaders will miss out on a striking physical product.
