Frans De Waard, the legendary Dutch composer and label manager (Korm Plastics, Plinkity Plonk etc), under the moniker of Modelbau, has produced two long tracks of somehow nostalgic, elementary low fi ambience, full of micro noise details and with a rich conceptual background. This is "ancient" analogue drone, thick and warm like cotton wool.

Modelbau is the long-established solo project of Frans de Waard since 2012, focused on lo-fi noise, tape-based electronics, and intimate, improvised soundscapes. Working with small electronics, shortwave radios, cassette walkmans, effects, and modest digital tools, he uses Modelbau to explore fragile textures and slowly evolving atmospheres that extend his decades-long engagement with underground electronic and electroacoustic music. One of de Waard's most prolific outlets, Modelbau sits alongside his many other projects (including Kapotte Muziek, Beequeen, Goem, Freiband, and Shifts) yet retains a distinct, hands-on aesthetic that privileges spontaneity, physical media, and the productive limitations of "cheap stuff".
