Support: Adriaan De Roover

Brussels-based musician Adriaan de Roover has been forging a singular path in electronic music. De Roover’s works integrate acoustic and electronic sources into amorphous, indefinably textured shapes, creating microscopic landscapes that at times resemble alien transmissions, and often bloom into harmonic panoramas at a moment’s notice. 

Other Rooms is Adriaan’s second solo album and will be released through Pieter Dudal’s acclaimed Dauw imprint, which is also the home to Midori Hirano, Dylan Henner, H.Takahashi, Lieven Martens and Taylor Deupree. Stepping back from rhythm-oriented motifs, this latest work is a concise but varied collection of weightless melodies and expertly sculpted, computerized soundscapes.
