about

In this edition we welcome back Anne Chris Bakker, a musician and composer from the Netherlands. Some may recall 2021’s collaboration with Andrew Heath, with their album ‘How To Breathe Like A Stone’ and we are pleased to be able to present this solo record, ‘A Sketch in Leaving’.

Anne Chris Bakker’s music makes use of electro acoustic sound sources, to create minimal and experimental ambient music. Releases have been made available through labels such as White Paddy Mountain, Dronarivm and Unknown Tone, as well as a further collaboration with Andrew Heath on Rusted Tone Recordings. There were also recordings as Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra on labels which include Low Point.

Bakker typically starts with small compositions created with guitar and for A Sketch in Leaving, a new approach was forged by using a piano and samples so that a new experimental path could be explored. Inspiration has been drawn from long walks in the Norwegian mountains and this album is in part based upon these experiences. The immense landscape, battered and bruised by the elements represents change and loss, as well as the emergence of freshly formed details. The titles of the album are mainly of places, people and concepts all set to the vast Scandinavian landscape, which is placed as a focal point within the packaging artwork.

Cut Off
by Aries Mond

supported by 7 fans who also own “A Sketch in Leaving”

This is a delightful album. I'm not always a fan of vox samples, but those here in a few tracks are unobtrusive and fit in well to the gentle, yearning vibe. A good foil to the slightly more experimental and forthright 'Come on let's wait' on Eilean Recs. Love them both. 😎 Rinchen Choesang

It's Seabuckthorn, what the hell are you waiting for. Droning, enchanting, decaying sound objects colliding against one another in time and space, devouring the light and the dark in equal measure. Guitar music you say, fuck you. Lost Tribe Sound
