Zij Zoeken Zich Zelf Niet

Zij Zoeken Zich Zelf Niet was released in 2021 by the experimental label Cosmic Volume as part of their ongoing mission to document avant-garde and sound-art compositions. The project represents a collaborative effort between multidisciplinary artists Danielle Lemaire and Jan Van Den Dobbelsteen, whose practices often intersect at the boundaries of field recordings, ambient soundscapes, and conceptual audio art. The record serves as a localized inquiry into resonance and atmosphere, reflecting the artists' shared interest in the interplay between human presence and environment.

The design and production of the release emphasize a tactile, minimal aesthetic consistent with Cosmic Volume’s catalog. By pairing Lemaire’s nuanced melodic sensibilities with Van Den Dobbelsteen’s structural approach to sound manipulation, the artists aimed to create an immersive listening experience that defies traditional genre constraints. Upon its release, the work was noted within niche experimental circles for its evocative, introspective quality, reinforcing the artists' reputations as figures focused on the introspective possibilities of recorded sound.
