新鋭作曲家の1st LP!!オランダの作曲家であり電子音楽家として活動、セルフリリース及びデンマークのJanushovedよりカセット音源を発表、本作が正規アルバムとしては初の出版物となるCasimir Geelhoed。音の変容を心理的/感情的な処理のメタファーとして捉え、深く考察し提示した2025年11月発表の音源[Processing Music]。音素材の相互作用から有機的な形が生まれるシステムを構築、デジタル処理を単なる技術的なツールとしてではなく詩的な装置として用い、ゆっくりと侵食されるループ~穏やかに崩壊するテクスチャの6パートを組み上げた、持続音とも電子音楽とも言えない不思議な魅力を持つ音塊。







With 'Processing Music', Dutch composer and electronic musician Casimir Geelhoed offers a compelling meditation on sound transformation as a metaphor for psychological and emotional processing. Operating at the intersection of overstimulation, introspection and fragility, the album unfolds as a deeply immersive and personal exploration — one that invites the listener to inhabit a space of their own projection, memory and reflection.

Rather than imposing a fixed compositional structure, 'Processing Music' follows a bottom-up approach, allowing form to emerge organically from the interaction of sonic materials. Digital signal processing is not used here as a mere technical tool, but as a poetic device: transformation as narrative, delay as memory, distortion as tension. Through slowly eroding loops, gently collapsing textures and shifting layers of timbre and space, Geelhoed crafts a delicate sound world that is charged with friction.

What may at first seem abstract gradually reveals an emotional core. The album evokes the suspended time of a 'largo', the layering of memory like an excavation, the psychological tension of perceived spatial expansion. These are not literal themes, but associative keys to a music that operates in a distinctly human sonic language.

Emerging from a series of live performances, 'Processing Music' retains a performative sensibility: the music breathes, transforms, and invites attention to nuance. It slowly unfolds a landscape shaped by the subtle interplay between structure and dissolution.

Casimir Geelhoed has presented performances and installations at festivals such as CTM, Sonic Acts, Rewire, Fiber, SPATIAL, and Aural Spaces. He studied computer science, composition, music technology, and sonology in Amsterdam, The Hague, and Utrecht.
