about

[[]]togethermachine will release his second full lenght on april, 8 on all streaming services. This release is fully in sync with the [[]]togethermachine philosophy: a collab with inspiring artist @prtr_jan. The two artists met on Twitter, where the small collages of sound and video caught the eye and ear of [[]]togethermachine. These clips were the starting point of almost two years of composing, remixing, sculpting over 40 ideas of @prtr_jan (Twitter handle) to the 12 original tracks that this volume 1 is giving home to. A Volume 2 is in the making. It will be released when it is finished.
The record is also a collage of different sounds and genres, without it ever really béing those genres, rather than borrowing from them. It makes the album a whole, jumping from flavor to flavor telling the stories of life in city area's somewhat in decay. Gloomy but comforting as a nowadays Edward Hoppers' "Nighthawks"
@prtr_jan (Antwerp, BE) took up his old hobby making music a few years
back, making a sport out of "doing everything on an iPad", combining the loop of the day with pictures or small clips from what he stumbled upon during his traveling day to and from work. Due to
his desire for privacy that is all we can tell about the artist here. Maybe we've said too much already. Follow him on Twitter. A solo album will be released in 2023
[[]]togethermachine is the studio outfit for drummer Marcel van As (Coparck/Spinvis) Heavily influenced by David Holmes, DJ Shadow, Beach House, Prince and Miles Davis (a.o) he released his debutalbum ‘[[]]” in november 2020, to critical acclaim
In March 2021 he released yet another project,inspired by beats Dutch drummer Mischa Porte posted to the internet during lockdown number 1. For 70 days Mischa Porte played his lockdown blues away, for everyone to use freely. Marcel clinged on for more than 20 days and posted a track inspired by the beat of the day, everyday at 21:00h sharp.
From his homestudio, Marcel is now working on different projects at the same time, resulting in at least one more album to come out this year. All sorts of interesting collaborations are in the making.
Marcel started out as a drummer for Rotterdam based Handsome 3some, releasing an album and an EP with EMI/Parlophone in 1999/2000. After that he played drums for Coparck between 2003 and 2010. Always interested in combining electronics with acoustic drums, he started out programming beats and learn more about drummachines and samplers. This combination attracted the attention of Dutch well-known singer Spinvis, who asked him to join his band. Marcel is playing for Spinvis since 2010, touring Holland and Belgium ever since and in the future
