It has become a yearly tradition that during the 'Gentse Feesten' (the Ghent City Festival) Consouling Store and Wool E Shop join forces and become the Con-Wool-E-Store. Both enterprises also release and promote music, and also try to find occasions to collaborate. Consouling Sounds and Wool-E Tapes for instance released a split cassette between Monnik and Onrust last 'Gentse Feesten'. This year, something similar is in the pipe line. Something similar but not quite the same, as we’re very excited to announce the inaugural release of Wool-E Discs. That’s right, besides the cassette label, Wool-E branches out and also will release on the cd format under the Wool-E Discs imprint.
For this year’s collaboration Consouling Sounds has asked Empusae to partake in the split release. Empusae is the moniker of Nicolas ‘Sal Ocin' Van Meirhaege. He has built on an impressive back catalogue of organic, ritual, electro-acoustic, ambient, doom and post-industrial soundtracks. Wool-E Discs invited Klankdal to the split release, and they graciously accepted. This duo, consisting of Sebastian Crusener and Glenn Dick, works magic with guitar manipulations and field recordings, which results in both captivating and ominous soundscapes.
