VAN HOEN, MARK - THE ETERNAL PRESENT (LP)

The Eternal Present continues the lineage of Van Hoen's most significant works, with artwork by Ian Anderson (Designers Republic) reflecting the album's "eternal present" concept with a mysterious visual approach, allowing listeners to form their own imaginary landscapes. The mastering by Stefan Betke (Pole) enhances this document of the evolution of the artist over the years as he continues to hone his signature sound. Using a host of instruments including analogue synthesisers and employing various recording approaches, Van Hoen's equipment changed dramatically over the years-from early DSP processing used on his first solo record Playing With Time to various synthesisers, modular systems, tape machines, and digital workstations-contributing to the album's rich sonic diversity.
