Ludowic Elka Village CD

2017 release. Armed with impressive analog hardware synths, drumming machines and noise boxes, the Dutch electro artist Ludowic is poking and prodding around in the dirt of electronic music. The gritty, noisy and dark electro music emerging from the cracks in the dirt is a sound that only few others can match. For making this album Ludowic has sought it's own Elka Village. He locked himself in a Dutch chapel for a week. In this peace and seclusion Ludowic largely wrote, produced and recorded the album himself, accompanies analog, vintage modular synths, drum machines and lots of other gear. Ludowic says to the theme of the album: "The need to occasionally move your thoughts to a miniature village, and lead a double life in there to escape reality, was the inspiration for writing this album." Three times there were guests in the chapel to write and record a track with Ludowic. The first guest was Kevin Stunnenberg from The Cinema Escape and frontman of the famous Dutch rock band Birth Of Joy. The second guest was Tom Broshuis, guitarist from the band Mister and Mississippi. The last guest was the artist/singer Wende.
