General Audio (album with Speedy J)
Recorded at Willem Twee studios in Den Bosch, General Audio explores a unique and esoteric approach to sound creation. Using test and measure equipment from the 1950’s, originally designed for the maintenance of various audio and radio transmitters, van Abbe and Paap create otherworldly walls of sound and dense rhythmic abstractions with an early form of synthesis.
Rudimentary signals are combined and processed before being committed to tape via mic’s set up to capture the Willem Twee studio’s unique acoustics. The equipment itself predates the invention of the analog, modular synthesizers developed in the 70’s that are now commonplace in many studios.
Out on 23.09.2022 on Avian.

NONDUAL Live A/V
Over 20 years, sound-builder and audiovisual artist Albert van Abbe has been assembling sonic architectures for intimacy, sensibility and movement; works of art that continuously create spaces in which you can both lose and find yourself.
Today – more than five years after the release of his debut album – van Abbe presents NONDUAL on Raster Media. Played and exhibited as an audiovisual project in the new Club Concert Hall in Kiev, Ukraine – as well as Nxt Museum Amsterdam – NONDUAL is a new, live performance as well. A realtime 4K+ flexible visual synthesiser based on Andreas Nicolas Fisher's Supervoid series played in conjunction with the NONDUAL live soundtrack.'

Phasing Waves (with Ricky van Broekhoven)

OMA (installation)
In collaboration with Willem Twee kunstruimte & FAQ Festival Albert van Abbe presents the audio-visual work “OMA”. The work “OMA”, recreates a personal childhood memory with light and sound, which in retrospect forms the starting point for his artistic practice. With binaural recorded sound and a light projection, he simulates a recognizable visual experience of passing cars on a rainy night.
