Over at his [soundcloud.com](https://soundcloud.com/machinefabriek/sluimer) account, **Machinefabriek** has posted a free download of a bit of guitar-based ephemera — if something nearly 13 minutes long can be considered ephemera. Titled “Sluimer,” it was released a few years back as a 3″ CD. At the time of its release, Machinefabriek mentioned the track in the [12k.com forum](http://www.12k.com/forum/index.php?topic=53.0) as follows: “This 3 track mini cd has probably the most minimal music I`ve made, using (prepared) acoustic and electric guitar, and a laptop for editing.” Minimal it is, indeed — quite likely it could be listened to and only one guitar would be recognized, and the laptop editing not even considered as a component. It’s an elegant piece, steady in its unfolding, each note passing in a manner both passive and mechanical.
Track posted for free download at [soundcloud.com/machinefabriek](https://soundcloud.com/machinefabriek/sluimer). One warning: it’s a massive WAV file, weighing in at about 128 megabytes.
