Early years Michel Banabila collected on ‘Early works (Things popping up from the past)’
Dutch composer, sound and producer artist Michel Banabila (born 1961) has been releasing music since 1983. He uses found objects, electronica, field recordings, and shortwave/tv/film recordings to produce his work which has been used in musical scores for numerous films, documentaries, theatre plays and choreographies.
His work has been published by Steamin’ Soundworks, Bureau B, Staalplaat, Pork Recordings, Tone Casualties, Challenge Records/JJ Tracks and his own Tapu Records.
The album “Early works (Things popping up from the past)” collects 11 songs from his early years, released on tape, vinyl EPs or limited CD edition. You can expect minimal loop-based electronica, neoclassical pieces and ambient drone music. The album is available both on vinyl (available here) and CD (available here).
Here’s an idea how the work of Banabila sounds.
Since you’re here …
… we have a small favour to ask. More people are reading Side-Line Magazine than ever but advertising revenues across the media are falling fast. Unlike many news organisations, we haven’t put up a paywall – we want to keep our journalism as open as we can - and we refuse to add annoying advertising. So you can see why we need to ask for your help.
Side-Line’s independent journalism takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. But we do it because we want to push the artists we like and who are equally fighting to survive.
If everyone who reads our reporting, who likes it, helps fund it, our future would be much more secure. For as little as 5 US$, you can support Side-Line Magazine – and it only takes a minute. Thank you.
