Scone is a collaborative project between Reimer Eising (Kettel) and the brothers Don and Roel Funcken (Funckarma), representing a high-water mark for the Dutch IDM and glitch scene. Formed in the early 2000s, the project synthesizes Kettel's signature melodic whimsy and neo-classical leanings with Funckarma's darker, more complex rhythmic architecture and industrial-tinged sound design.
Their work, particularly the 2006 album 'Maze', is characterized by intricate micro-percussion, granular synthesis, and a deep sense of spatial depth. Critically, Scone is viewed as a bridge between the 'braindance' era of Rephlex Records and the more atmospheric, experimental electronics of the 2010s. Their sound identity is defined by a high level of technical proficiency and a 'liquid' sonic texture that avoids the sterility often found in digital-first electronic music. While their output has been sporadic, their influence persists among crate-diggers and fans of the 'Skam' and 'Sending Orbs' aesthetic.
