Studio Loos

Orphax

Orphax is a musical project with the focus on minimal ambient and drone music.

In the music there is a development towards microtonal sounds, where time and spatiality are important factors.

In this form of working the eventual result can be a static form of sound where development in the music becomes subordinate to the listener losing any sense of time.

 

Amsterdam based musician and trained drummer Sietse van Erve  was introduced to electronic music in the early nineties. He started researching new sounds and new ways of working – always with an organic touch, often incorporating sounds that would be regarded by others as errors or mistakes. Considering life isn’t without errors either.

 

In the past he has shared the stage with various musicians including Martijn Comes, Jos Smolders, Frans de Waard (Modelbau), Zeno van den Broek, TVO, BJ Nilsen, Philip Jeck and Yann Novak.

 

Besides making music, Sietse van Erve runs Moving Furniture Records and has curated concerts at home, at Amsterdam institute STEIM, De Ruimte, OCCII and more.
