No Time To Hurry

Hand-printed artwork

The sound of Vrystaete is not limited to one specific sound but the music of Foresteppe comes quite close to a “typical” Vrystaete sound, a perfect blending of folklore and ambient sounds, in a way very much what for example Diamantener Oberhof (see Vrystaete04) and  Brannten Schnüre (see Vrystaete06) are doing.

Foresteppe creates beautiful ambient-folk based on field recordings, acoustic elements and tape loops. Part of the signature sound of Foresteppe are his North Eurasia roots which are maybe most present in his older work, “No Time To Hurry” is one of these older works but was never released on any physical format before.

For this vinyl LP version of “No Time To Hurry” two extra pieces from the same era were added, and together with the fitting artwork of images of Russian pastoral home interiors by Dutch visual artist Roosmarijn ten Hoopen makes this record so much more as just revisiting this early digital release by Foresteppe.
