second net-release from the re-invigorated echomusic label…
Martiensgohome is a quartet of sorts, four persons playing music together.
This album of theirs, Tétraèdre was specially composed at the request of the radio-show of the same name on Radio Panik (le tetraedre). For this piece, Martiensgohome decided to change their normal methods of work and do something unusual for them, each one recording a piece for another one of them to reinterpret. The end-result is somewhere between a remix-chain and a collaborative work. The game of course is then to guess who did what.

Founded in April 1996, martiensgohome is a sound collective whose primary outlet is radio. Operating at the crossroad between radio drama and improvised electronic music, it has been present on the airwaves of Brussels, on Radio Campus, without interruption since its first broadcast. Instant soundscape, musique concrete sauvage, martiensgohome’s music is first and foremost a celebration of the sound spectrum, from the roughest noise to the tiniest resonance. Through line-up changes, regular or occasionnal guests, special projects, challenges, game pieces, the collective has tried and maintained a constant renewal, justifying its longevity.
