In anticipation of my new album 'Call of the Wild In anticipation of my new album 'Call of the Wild and Void', coming 3 July 2026 on @sfi_records, I'll be releasing some rarities on streaming services. 'The Big Fire in LA' was released in October 2019 on Bandcamp on the Halloween compilation 'Fright Night Club Vol. 12'. The track starts out with a simple waltz, a nod to the Death Waltz label that had just released my album 'Open Sea'. We don’t celebrate Halloween in The Netherlands, I only know it from the movies. So I made the track sound like a movie: starting with tension, building up drama and ending with relief, but not total relief. The fire is the unpredictable main character, showing up out of nothing and leaving chaos and disorder. Mastered by @burningtapesmastering. Artwork by @colinanance. Links in story & bio!

UK! My new album 'Call of the Wild and Void' is no UK! My new album 'Call of the Wild and Void' is now available for pre-order at the fine folks at @normanrecs! 💙 With a lovely write-up: Short: 'Hunter Complex blends piano-led ambience and kosmische electronics into a reflective voyage shaped by sea air, solitude and widescreen synth textures.' Full: 'Hunter Complex returns with Call of the Wild and Void, a set of atmospheric electronics shaped by piano, synths and a cast of guest players including Aquiles Navarro and new age flautist Kat Epple. The project of Dutch musician Lars Meijer, the album builds on the organic feel of earlier releases Airports and Ports, Dead Calm and Zero Degrees and Open Sea, folding live instrumentation into his expansive electronic sound. Meijer places piano at the centre of these recordings, reconnecting with the lo-fi work he made in the 1990s while maintaining the futuristic pulse of his synthesiser-driven compositions. Natural imagery runs throughout the album, with the sea and shifting landscapes used as reflections on stillness, distance and inner calm. Artwork comes from Andrew Crawshaw for Broken Press.'
