Buck Moon/ Hexeneiche/ Saenyo

Buck Moon

The duo was formed in summer 2021 by Julius Ménard (who runs Grisaille Tapes) and Julian Flemming (who runs the Econore label), influenced by the turn of the century free psychedelic scene and the sounds of Natural Snow Buildings and Twinsistermoon. The sounds they extract from their instrumentation of singing bowls, bowed guitars, ethereal vocals, reversed guitar loops are like field recordings of the mind – abstract, but strongly relatable, they trigger a sort of universal memory, a strong presence of the things absent. They currently live in Steinfurt and Mönchengladbach, Germany.

HEXENEICHE is a hybrid of some sorts: half Dutch, half American, mixing individual baggage into something that combines the bleakness of Northern Europe with the sensual heat of the American South. Both a labour of love and a quest for progress, featuring a delicate layering of tape loops into the infinite and spiking it up with rowdy beats. Synths spitting out distant dubs from left of nowhere and a boy and a girl trying to give it a meaning, to make some sense.

HEXENEICHE is a duo of Leilani Trowell and Steffan de Turck.

 

SAENYO

Saenyo is the personal project of Peter Huizinga, that moves mainly between ambient and noise.
Which means that many other roads are also taken.
Right now he’s working on a guitar set with some old fuzzes, probably a lot on the noise end!
