why we love this

A record that moves without hurrying. Tape loops pass and overlap, making time feel less linear, more tactile. It keeps circling, slowly folding back on itself.

about the record

Belgian musicians dudal and Adriaan de Roover present pivot rotations on VIERNULVIER Records. The album captures two years (2021โ€“2022) of tape-loop explorations, weaving together fragments from live performances in Ghent, Brussels, and Eupenโ€™s Meakusma Festival into one slowly turning constellation.

At its heart, pivot rotations is about movement and return: constellations revolving like a mobile, blocks of sound circling on their axis, clocks whose hands fold back into themselves. Layers of tape loops glide past each other, creating a measured calm that invites meditative stillness while holding subtle tension, a quiet pull that draws the listener forward.

This physical, performative practice shapes the albumโ€™s pacing: changes arrive with patience, textures overlap, and patterns hover between calm and unrest. Found sounds, the warm, coppery voice of a euphonium, and hushed electronics flicker through a field of magnetic tape hiss, forming constellations that gradually rotate and dissolve.

With pivot rotations, dudal and Adriaan de Roover present more than a document of performance. It is a patient study of time, texture, and chance.
