Stephan Mathieu – Before Nostromo
The sound design for Ridley Scott’s sci-fi / horror classic Alien (1979) has been an inspiration to many.
On Before Nostromo, Stephan Mathieu focuses on the crew, not on the spaceship.
Using piano, gongs, shortwave receiver, tapeloops and ‘entropic processes’, he re-creates the (soundtrack of the) dreams of the crew members just before they awake from hibernation.

Eilean & Dauw Dialog Tapes
In recent years it is not uncommon that artists work together without meeting each other in real life. On-Line collaboration is a common working method: sending work-in-progress to each other until it’s ready.
But as far as I know, two labels collaborating together in this way – matching their artists to work in duos on a collaboration track – has not been done before.
Dialog Tapes, released by Eilean Records and Dauw proves that the sum can indeed be much greater than the sum of its parts.
