Korm Plastics is proud to present the ninth release in the Brombron series. Originally a co-production between Staalplaat and Extrapool, it is now hosted by co-curator Frans de Waard. In the year 2000 Frans de Waard and Extrapool started the Brombron project. Two or more musicians become artists in residence in Extrapool, an arts initiative in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, with a fully equipped sound recording studio. These artists can work in a certain amount of time on a collaborative project; a project they always wished to do, but didn't have the time or the equipment to realize.

    Pulses and Places (KORM PLASTICS KP 3034) by contrast is an extremely quiet and subdued record of percussion, guitar and organ music, performed by the Italian composer and drummer Andrea Belfi with Machinefabriek (i.e. Rutger Zuyderveklt). This music mostly operates in a deliberately confined range of timbres, tones and rhythms, and comes across as a species of Pink Floyd-influenced avant-percussion progressive rock music, like 'Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun' as if recorded by academic professors trying to prove something about the evil effects of modern rock music in 1970, doing it in a lecture hall where the walls are packed with mattresses. Number 15 in the highly coveted and beautifully packaged Brombron series, now curated by Frans de Waard.
