Following a concert with serpent player Berlinde Deman, Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek) was inspired to reinstall his live setup and try to recreate the atmosphere of said concert. Of course it turned out completely different but those recordings now form the main component of the collage that is "Omval".

"The result has the organic quality of a performance, with a complexity that I could never achieve in a live set". A massive array of tools and ingredients were used, including: synths, delay, Buddha Machine, chimes, contact microphone, E-bow, field recordings, cassette tape, internal feedback, loop tapes, tuning forks, virtual instruments, and zither.

"An excellent piece of something as 'typical Machinefabriek' music; highly atmospheric, going from massive drone-like meanderings to minimal sounds, and, as always, he takes his time to let things develop. There are three distinct sections here, each building from a handful of sounds, going full force in terms of drone and atmospherics" (Vital Weekly).
