MOLK Factory

MOLK Factory MOLK factory is a community empowerment initiative, multi-disciplinary performance space, record label, recording studio and artist collective.

We aim to promote outstanding local and international talent, collaborations and new ideas. Molk Factory is a gathering of performing artists and musicians from different disciplines, who all bring their own views and methods, but constantly seek closer contact with each other's art in order to exchange artistic languages. The Molk collective comes from diverse backgrounds: pop, free music, contemporary composition, sound art, theater, mime and visual arts. Molk Factory finds poetry in the convergence of this multitude of perspectives, aesthetics and methods. This is expressed in resounding polemics, juxtapositions and harshly edited styles but also in unexpected harmonies of fairytale simplicity. Molk Factory connects the worldly with the Amsterdam, woven together with forgotten world views, voices from the margins, and scenarios for the future. It is a movement and focuses on the horizon where a wide audience listens to and shares with us.

This album is a deeply personal debut release from the South African trumpet player, composer, and bandleader James McClure. An emerging voice in Amsterdam’s experimental scene, recognised for his sound, patience, and sensibility.

PRE-ORDER TODAY ON BANDCAMP

The moment of birthing your own musical space is a special one; you expose something about yourself for all to see. It can be an act of generosity and laying bare a bit of your soul. We are elated to support our dear friend and fellow musician James McClure (featured trumpetist in Mestizx), who does so on “A dizziness from the unsaid”. We see the importance of his ideas, and we are moved by his deep care for contemplation in sound. James not only enriches the Amsterdam music community, but he is able to hint at celebratory, South African resistance songs, then make you gasp while covering you with a blanket of deep-sea-water like sinuosity. It is as dizzying as it is revelatory. Indeed, this is it. We get this one chance to live in this body, in this presence, in this moment. It is through his music that we get the chance to detach from the banalities of distraction, take a deep breath, and you are in!

South African trumpet player and composer James McClure presents his deeply personal Debut Album. He is a powerful emerging voice, known for his mesmerising sound, patience and sensibility. This is a bold and introspective work that invites deep listening. The music is rooted in emotion, free improvisation and progressive thought with traces of heritage. The album is held together by a recurring lullaby written in response to violence and global unrest. It is a call for change, reflection and healing that feels ever more relevant and increasingly urgent. It is a moving introduction to his world
