Isolatiemateriaal by Luka Schuurman

To all who are home, bored, lonely, sick, temporarily unemployed, in lack of toilet paper or otherwise troubled by the COVID-19 crisis, this compilation contains live recordings and outtakes as well as new recordings, to help you through this strange period of mass isolation. A good hour spent in the serious and, perhaps, less serious realms of my personal archive, including a few new revisions of older, unreleased songs.

I am releasing this album on the day that Bandcamp decided to put up a fundraiser for artists and will not take any revenue share for the whole day, urging people to buy music en masse. Encouraged by this beautiful initiative I decided to create this special package of tunes. Please consider supporting me or other musicians out there by buying music and merchandise to keep the art of music alive. Thanks a lot!

". . . een prachtig overzicht van de man zijn kwaliteiten. En was Buoyant Figures reeds een veelzijdig album, voor dit ‘Isloatiemateriaal’ geldt dit nog sterker.”
