We know Brussels resident David Poltrock mostly as an established musician and producer, but also from his many collaborations. He made a series of instrumental compositions under his own name ‘Poltrock’, ranging from intimate and minimal piano pieces via dark and moody ambient soundscapes to energetic electronic club-tracks.

The core is always a rather unique instrumentarium: mechanically modified pianos (the so-called ‘prepared piano’), modular analogue synthesizers, samplers and strings. All the tracks came into being during nocturnal improvisations and jams in 'The Poltrock Palladium', the Brussels studio where Poltrock’s impressive collection of old and contemporary electronica instruments has its own place.
‘Mutes’ will be out on 29 March 2018: the first part of the trilogy ‘Mutes, Moods & Machines’.
