Indiana Drones by Indiana Drones

Indiana Drones is the first collaboration between Material Object and Phonaut. This project was recorded in November 2012 and was originally intended to be released on Pete Namlook's Fax + 49-69/450464 record label. Immediately after completing the recording I tried to get in touch with Pete which led to the tragic discovery of him having passed away.

Pete Namlook / Peter Kuhlmann had an immeasurable impact on the electronic music world, as an artist and curator, as well as on my own life both as a mentor, collaborator and most importantly as a friend. Now his memory lives on through us.

Each of the five parts of this project feature individual artwork comprised of photos from Pete Namlook's home town of Traben Trarbach in Germany.

We're here because of Pete Namlook. We were the North American distributor of FAX and decided to pay tribute to him with an 8-CD boxed set entitled Die Welt ist Klang. Since we couldn't release that box on FAX, we started Carpe Sonum.
