Recently signed to FatCats 130701 imprint, Dutch composer Rutger Hoedemaekers makes his debut solo release with a stunning album that marks the culmination of a decade spent in the hypercreative studio environment he co-founded in Berlin, including four years working closely alongside Jhann Jhannsson.
Sonically rich, emotionally deep, and immaculately handled, The Age Of Oddities showcases a brilliant new talent, its cinematic eloquence bearing witness to Rutgers experiences composing for film alongside Oscar-winner Hildur Gunadttir and Jhannsson, for whom the album is partly a eulogy
The Age Of Oddities is a bold and forwardthinking record, with a rich, hybrid sound seeing vocals processed and blurred alongside brass parts and a wall of strings shadowed by Rutgers understated, textural electronics.
The album features the Budapest Art Orchestras 23-piece string ensemble alongside vocals (Kira Kira, Else Torp and Laura Jansen), horn (Morris Kliphuis), trombone (Hilary Jeffery) and violin (Una Sveinbjarnardttir, Viktor Orri rnason), with Hoedemaekers contributing trumpet, piano, keyboard and electronics.
