about

Belgium

Why WXR_JR?
My grandfather's nickname was Wikser.
WXR_JR just a (Flemish) phonetic translation of Wikser (WXR) Junior (JR).
The capital letters and underscore were an accident, the CapsLock key stuck, but I left it as it was.
I was using the pseudonym long before I was (trying to) make sounds.

Earlier releases include tracks released by Adventurous Music, ToneBurst, TQ Zine, Camembert Electrique, Drama Recorder, Internet Daemon, Neotantra and Vital Things.

Is Belgium really, as the Belgians themselves sometimes claim, the ugliest country in the world?
All you can say of the landscape is that, at least occasionally, it looks rather bizarre.
Everywhere you go, city or village, small or big, you will find some architectural building or monument that seems to make fun of any kind of aesthetics.
Nowhere else in the world will you find anything like it.
It is so strange and unique that it seems quintessentially Belgian.
The Archibelge series approaches these typical phenomena of Belgian architecture from the point of view of people who are confronted daily with this diversity of these buildings, monuments or strange artifacts.
Archibelge is an incredibly fascinating journey along the Belgian roads.
The track "Riding The Countryside" was roughly inspired by my own experience while driving through the northernmost villages of the province of Antwerp.

Archibelge, a 3-part series by Sofie Benoot, Gilles Cotton and Olivier Magis, was released in 2015.
