“Arjen Schat | Spectrum” is out now and available on vinyl + digital + stream! 
After months of preparation, we are really proud to present the launch of our record label Trésor D’argent by Arjen Schat en Rik de Voogd.
Our aim is to release the creative output of Arjen on vinyl, adding collectors value with each release by keeping the copies low and adding specialties in the form of printed art. Arjen's sonic identity can be described as sequential ambient music, characterized by its emphasis on complex polyrhythmic sequencing and extensive use of analog synthesizers.
We are kicking off with the album “Spectrum” which is the first full length LP by Arjen Schat on vinyl. "Spectrum" is a contemporary continuation of the Berlin-school of electronic music. Though the essence of the style revolves around analogue synthesizers propagating melodic sequences, the sequences on this album are constantly evolving using an array of complex sequencing methods.
Feel free to take a listen.
“Spectrum” is pressed on black 140g vinyl, full-colour sleeve, black poly-lined inner sleeve, full-colour insert, and limited to 300 copies worldwide. Every direct order through Trésor D’argent comes with a free download card which makes it easy to download your digital copy of the album.
Order the vinyl here on our website : or on the website of Arjen.

Arjen Schat is a synthesist and designer from the Netherlands, with works published around the world that illustrate his talent for a wide range of electronic music. Here, on Spectrum, his focus shifts back to one of his earliest influences: the Berlin school of sequencer-based synthesizer compositions. These pieces revolve around a carefully laid out groundwork, crafted by hand, one note at a time. Placed in such a way that melodies and harmonies emerge from the overlaid sequences, Spectrum produces an ever-shifting array of dreamlike sound that feels as if it never recurs, constantly in forward motion. Arjen is a true craftsman in his field, seemingly conjuring great galaxies of synaesthetic purpose from machines that more closely resemble the controls inside an aircraft cockpit. Indeed, if these operations are to be the vessel of our travels, then let us rest assured that Arjen Schat knows the way.
