Stony

Stony

Willebrant

‘Stony’ is a work that is seeking the grassroots through memories of emotion and land. The compositions tour through layers of nature scapes recorded throughout the years on the area of the Stony River, fortunately unchanged, allowing me to revisit the land of where my memories lie, my childhood with my mother, the smells of earth after fire and rain, the scenery through different seasons and the sounds of the bush on the east coast of Tasmania. When revisiting these places the feel arises, transporting you to that precise moment in time. released February 28, 2025 Karl Willebrant - piccolo bass and slide, fretless electric bass, synths and field recordings. Field recordings from 'Stony River' Lutruwita/East Coast of Tasmania. Produced by Karl Willebrant Art concept by Amaya Iturri

Leaving Space

Leaving Space

Willebrant

What will happen when two bass players and ambient producers from opposite sides of the globe work together on music? Probably something like this new ambient instrumental piece: "Leaving Space". Composed and recorded by Crows Labyrinth and Willebrant: the artistic monikers of Theo Tol (the Netherlands) and Karl Willebrant (Australia). The music starts off as a simple drone, but fairly quickly develops into an ambient piece, then gradually changes into ambient post-rock towards its climax. The track features bass guitar, piccolo bass and additional sampled sound design. released September 15, 2023 Written by Karl Willebrant and Theo Tol. Piccolo bass, bass synth groove and additional sound design by Karl Willebrant. Ambient bass guitar, bass groove and bass harmonics by Theo Tol. Mixed by Karl Willebrant and Theo Tol. Mastered by Theo Tol. Cover design by Theo Tol. A collaboration between The Netherlands and Australia
