about

This album is born out of the KLEIN residency 'Typhoon Days' at Permeke, the central library of Antwerp. In some ways, it is an ode to the library and the community around it.

Joachim Badenhorst made field-recordings inside the Permeke library and around the neighborhood. These recordings of the bustling multi-cultural area of the De Conickplein--the fragmented soundscape of public spaces--form the basis of this album.

Joachim took these field-recordings to his home studio, cut them up and added layers of melodies, spoken words, singing, electronics and a few acoustic instruments. Drifting in and out of the recorded city sounds, through layers of composed sounds, this project makes for a kind of living sound collage, blurring the boundaries of lived, perceived, and imagined realities.


The feeling of wonderment—to walk the neighborhood with all my senses turned to the little sounds of the everyday—is reminiscent of the heightened awareness that arrives when nature’s reshuffling of orders force on us a paused presence. A sudden liveliness. Like those typhoon days, without a typhoon.
