We are Mark and Joost from the Netherlands, and we would like to introduce our new record label, Award Winning Records, with a very special festive release: ‘Toeters, een akoestisch drieluik’, which translates to ‘Horns, an acoustic triptych’.

This unique track was recorded live in September 2024 in Autaar’s living room. The three parts form one cohesive, immersive experience — a Trve Drone soundscape that celebrates our love for sonic exploration.

About the Release

‘Toeters, een akoestisch drieluik’ is the third collaboration between the boundary-pushing Autaar and VierNulVier. It’s a single, three-part track that blends acoustic and electronic elements, diving deep into the realms of sound. The album is a playful yet eerie exploration —a gathering of honks, toots, trills, and peeps— conjured from custom-built instruments, unconventional electronics, and wild contraptions.

TL,DR; Imagine free jazz thrown into a blender and poured into Disney’s haunted mansion. That’s ‘Toeters’.

We invite you to take a moment out of your busy day, put your feet up, and immerse yourself in this fearless, festive listening experience.

Available now as a digital download.

We would love it if you could listen to ‘Toeters’ and consider giving it a review on your site, blog, or zine. For press inquiries, review copies, or any further information, don’t hesitate to get in touch with us.

About the Label

Award Winning Records will serve as a platform for the music of Mark Lindhout (Autaar) and Joost van Ophem (VierNulVier or 404) — whether they create together, work individually as solo artists, or collaborate with others. Inspired by their diverse musical projects and creative output, they founded the label to share their work and give it the recognition it deserves.

In the coming months, we’ll be unveiling more exciting material—brand-new works alongside hidden gems from the past that we believe deserve their moment in the spotlight.
