Review by Frans de Waard from Vital Weekly

"Slowly gaining steam when it comes to releasing music on cassettes here's a new one on the US powerhouse Powdered Hearts Records. There is no download for this and it's limited to twenty-five copies. So far I heard some of his work, and yet I have no clear picture of his working methods. Partly because it all sounds so obscure, I guess. Or maybe it has to do with the sometimes vague descriptions; |"'36' is a two-piece improvisation for crashed 4 tracks tape recorder and sound". That's all, folks, and now listen to it. The first side sounds like the tape is not properly erased and there is still some audio detritus left, some remaining magnetic particles. It ticks like a stylus hanging over a wobbly record, but then much slower. Sometimes a snippet of sounds escape, maybe these are voices, some kind of electronics, perhaps; or just some static electricity. We don't know but it sounds fascinating, if not a bit long. The same can be said for the other side, but now there is more much information kept on tape. There are obscured voices, electronics, some objects being manually crashed together (plastic bottle) and it all comes in section getting louder and louder and then stopping before starting again, and slowly more and more electronics are added. It is a most curious piece of sounds stuck together in a most randomized way. John Cage would be proud of this. Erasing can be beautiful! Scrape the dirt and see what is below." (FdW)
