Unfinished Cities
Recorded in studios and halls from Johannesburg to Japan this release features world-renowned experimental koto player Chieko Mori and accordionist Yuko Ikoma. On his solo guitar tracks, André uses silence as much as his seemingly schizophrenic struggle with the instrument to try and bring as much out of the guitar as possible. Here is music steeped deep in ritualistic, ancient worlds, from the troubled soil of Africa to the dark alleys of modern Tokyo.

Scopophilia
Seven improvised pieces for solo prepared acoustic guitar. Those faint of ear should probably look elsewhere… Varying between silence and scarce dissonant clatter, these guitars are micro tuned, clamped, squeezed, inverted, broken apart and reassembled to form the devastatingly haunting music you hear here. Rare.
Kopstukke, Vol. 1
Guitar alchemist Andre van Rensburg presents the 1st in a series of albums of new works for classical guitar. Mystical, moody and beautiful. The gentle sound of the classical guitar is taken into unexplored territory.
Punctuated by silence, we are taken into a mysterious and imaginative musical world by this exciting musical maverick.
Game of the Voice
Inspired by the sculptures of the hermetic Taiwanese artist Wu Chien Chung, this evocative 50 minute long chamber piece is both haunting and uplifting. Wood and brass meet beautifully in an ethereal space with transcendental textures and harmony. Saxophones, clarinets,bassoons and a scrap-metal percussion set. New and mysterious music from a masterful musical experimentalist.
