An EP that was written with a lot of orchestral instruments, and with a sound design \/ mixdown aesthetic that almost has more in common with the dynamic sound of the orchestra than some of our music in other genres that are more focused on drums and impact.<\/p>\n<p>Reinout Douma and I have been discussing how to mix orchestra and electronics for years now, kind of unsatisfied with most attempts we\u2019ve heard and seen. In most cases, the orchestra and electronics were disconnected, or one of the elements would completely lose out versus the other. It was a matter of time before we tried to record something together with the Noordpool Orchestra, of which he\u2019s the founder, artistic director and conductor.<\/p>\n<p>We chose \u201cTurning Point\u201d because the original gave us some wide open doors to bring the orchestra in, as well as some nice space to explore textures the orchestra could add to the original. I think the outcome speaks for itself!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/beheer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-2597\" src=\"https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/beheer\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl.jpeg 1200w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-635x476.jpeg 635w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-768x576.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-760x570.jpeg 760w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-500x375.jpeg 500w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-550x413.jpeg 550w, https:\/\/www.reinoutdouma.nl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/ithaca-vinyl-400x300.jpeg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>source:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.self-titledmag.com\/thys-noordpool-orchestra-turning-point-video\/\">self-titledmag.com<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here\u2019s the thing about orchestral takes on electronic tracks: they\u2019re often terrible.
