about

Belgian musicians dudal (Dauw) and Adriaan de Roover unveil Pivot Rotations, out November 21 on VIERNULVIER Records. The album captures two years (2021–2022) of tape-loop explorations, weaving together fragments from live performances in Ghent, Brussels, and Eupen’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 album’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 & Adriaan de Roover present more than a document of performance — it is a patient study of time, texture, and chance.
