Die große Spannbreite der Geräuschmusik spiegelt sich im Programm der 65. Ausgabe der Konzertreihe Geräuschwelten. Mit Machinefabriek, dem Projekt des Niederländers Rutger Zuydervelt kommt einer der frischesten und spannendsten Ambient-Acts nach Münster. Zuydervelt versteht es wie kaum ein zwieter fließende Spannungsbögen zu kreieren, die zeitlos schön und bewegend und dabei modern und leicht klingen. Der französische Klarinettist Xavier Charles ist ein Urgestein der europäischen Improvszene, der mit vielen Größen des Genres, wie Tim Hodgkinson, Otomo Yoshihide oder John Butcher musiziert hat. Weniger exponiert ist sein Schaffen als elektronischer Tüftler und Instrumentenforscher. Er integriert seine Klarinette in ein Arsenal aus Lautsprecher-Instrumenten und manipulierten Alltagsgegenständen und schafft bizarre Soundwelten. Richard Francis aus Neuseeland ist mit seinen Kompositionen zwischen Improvisation und fließenden Drones, zwischen analogen Synthiklängen und minimalen Computersounds ein Vertreter der aktuellen elektronischen Experimentalmusik vom anderen Ende der Welt.  Geräuschwelten wird gefördert durch das Kulturamt der Stadt Münster, den Beauftragten der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien sowie durch den deutsch-französischen Fond für zeitgenössische Musik / Impuls neue Musik.

Machinefabriek (NL)
Rutger Zuydervelt was born on 28 July 1978 in Apeldoorn (The Netherlands), but now resides in Rotterdam. He started working as Machinefabriek in 2004.
Except for a few piano and guitar lessons when he was young, Rutger didn’t study music. Instead, he graduated as a graphic designer. The sleeves of his releases are practically always designer by Rutger himself, being a crucial part of the music.
Machinefabriek’s music combines elements of ambient, modern classical, minimalism, drone and field recordings. His pieces unfold as ‘films without image’, with a sharp ear for detail. After releasing a series of self released CD-Rs, the official debut, ‘Marijn’, was issued by Lampse in 2006. Since then a solid stream of singles and albums was released on labels like Type, Home Normal, 12K, Dekorder, Digitalis, Experimedia and Staalplaat.
Performing live has been an important expression for Machinefabriek. He took his gear to Russia, Israel, Japan, Canada, Switserland, Spain, Chech Republic, Germany, Turkey and England.
Rutger collaborated (on record and/or live) with numerous artists, such as Ralph Steinbrüchel, Jaap Blonk, Aaron Martin, Peter Broderick, Frans de Waard, Wouter van Veldhoven, Simon Nabatov, Xela, Simon Scott, Steve Roden, Gareth Davis and Tim Caitlin amongst others.
Rutger also works with various visual artists. He scored music for dance pieces, films, video installations and sculptures. He made installations for Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and NAi (Netherlands Architecture Institute). These cross-disciplinary projects are something Machinefabriek will focuss on more and more.

Different collectifs (Kristoff K.roll, No Spaguettitti Edition, chris burn ensemble).
Currently his musical research ranges from performance on the clarinet to the installation of vibrating speakers, at the edge of improvised music, noisy rock and electro-acoustic sound. He’s deeply involved in the music world as an organizer of the fesival „Densités“.
