New Album — Autaar en 404 gaan naar het bos — Out now!

Autaar & VierNulVier - Autaar en 404 gaan naar het bos

Autaar en 404 gaan naar het bos (2025)

Following their 2022 collaboration In de kiem gesmoord, Autaar and VierNulVier reunite for their second joint album, Autaar en 404 gaan naar het bos.

Unlike our previous collaboration, which was asynchronous, this album was recorded while in the same room, in real time. For this experience, we ventured deep into the secluded forests of Germany. We found these tranquil yet untamed surroundings perfectly suited for capturing some of the rawest, gnarliest sounds known to man.

During these three days of intense creative output, we embraced spontaneity and experimentation, generating an impressive collection of over 40 tracks. After meticulous selection and refinement, 8 compositions emerged. Each brimming with improvisation, found tape sounds, field recordings, and serendipitous noise. There are even two acoustic pieces, exposing an unexpected tenderness within our drone music.

The track titles act as the narrative thread throughout the record, offering glimpses into our reflections and experiences during their time in the forest. From the haunting reality of a mass grave to the frustrations of a failed English class, and from moments of metaphysical awakening to not giving a fuck about spirituality: Each piece captures distinct moments of revelation and introspection.

Take a listen: Autaar en 404 gaan naar het bos at Award Winning Records.

Autaar & 404 - In De Kiem Gesmoord

In De Kiem Gesmoord (2022)

My album In De Kiem Gesmoord was released on August 26, 2022.

It is a collaboration between me (Autaar) and Joost van Ophem, who works under the name 404.

The album came into existence during the first pandemic of my lifetime, and is a reflection of working as an artist during it and its accompanying limitations. It is a view into the tiny upstairs window of our souls — behind which we’re slowly losing it.

Get In De Kiem Gesmoord on Bandcamp, or click the player below to take a listen.

As an accompaniment to the listener, we have created an Online Addendum to this album, in which we provide insights into the creative process. As each of us adds thoughts, internal dialog, and prose, we enrich the listening experience for the reader.

Please visit the The Online Addendum for a look into the process.

About Autaar

Autaar artist photo

Autaar in 2021.

Autaar is the experimental ambient drone project of Mark Lindhout. Born in the Netherlands, he now lives and works in Germany.

Autaar’s music consists of ambient drone, incorporating elements from generative art, religious ritual, and found sources such as tapes and field recordings.

Autaar was created in the wake of BUIS, Sarc, and 900rpm, as a project aiming for collaboration with the many drone artists out there. (Honestly, you’d be surprised how many of us there are.)

A core tenet of Autaar is the belief that all music is an expression of the universal reverberations within everything. These resonant vibrations are fundamental, all-permeating and forever.

Everything is drone — I'm just putting the needle to the record.
