I was asked by the city of Deventer to think about my vision of Deventer in 2030 (as were nine other artists from Deventer). I decided to incorporate esc.rec. in this vision. For now you can read more on this page (also in dutch of course). More info wil be added really soon. It’s going to be an exciting new project and release!
On Friday, the 28th of November, the fifth edition of ass-crack stage-hack brings you dance performance/theater play Binnensuis, preceded by an exclusive three-course diner in Havenkwartier Deventer.
Binnensuis is a short theater play/dance performance, made by dancer Janneke Lenzen, composer/musician Bram van den Oever and writer Jehudi van Dijk.
Binnensuis wants to show the disturbing world inside the head of an alienated, lonely woman, who rarely leaves her house and is plagued by a multitude of different phobia and severe neurotic behaviour.
But Binnensuis is also an experiment. The monologues Jehudi van Dijk wrote for this performance, were recorded by Bram van den Oever with the voice of Janneke Lenzen. He then modified and remixed these recordings into a stunning piece of music. Dancer Janneke Lenzen worked with this material to come up with a fitting choreography. For a long time the three individual creators of Binnensuis worked seperately on this project. Only in the final stage of the process all the parts were fused together to form Binnensuis.
Esc.rec. felt that Bram van den Oever’s soundtrack (if you can still call it that) for this performance is so powerful that it was decided to make a release out of it. Check the limited (sold out) version overhere and the unlimited version overhere.
If you do not only want to treat your eyes and ears to a feast, but also want to have your culinairy senses stroked, please join us for a meal! Amateur-caterer and ‘goesting-jockey’ Jean Klare prepares extatic pleasure for the taste buds again this evening; a three course diner, including an excellent wine selection, for only 25 euro.
You do however need to make a reservation for this culinairy treat. Just send an email to harco@escrec.com.
I have uploaded some pictures of ass-crack stage-hack #4 in Havenkwartier Deventer overhere. It was another great edition, with sublime music and food (as you can see)!
I’m working on ass-crack stage-hack #5 right now. It takes place on the 28th of November in Havenkwartier Deventer and features Binnensuis and another exquisite meal by Jean Klare. I wil post more information soon, but if you want to be sure of a place at the dinner table, you can start making your reservation now, through harco@escrec.com.
Toxic Chicken has another new release out. It’s extremely lo-fi floppy computer music and you can downoad it for free through Oh!BleepRecords. Nice little netlabel which plans to also release floppy disc in the future.
Machinefabriek delivers releases like they were breadrolls. And practically all of them are top quality. Piiptsjilling is probably the most beautiful and open collaboration in his catalogue (for now). Minimal guitar sounds get hardly any manipulation; the tones float seemingly unnoticed in and out of the open soundscape. The pitch black poetry of Jan Kleefstra and his understated recitation offer some sort of counterpoint. A yin and yang between tension and space, between what is said and what’s left out. Breathtaking minimalism.
Wouter van Veldhoven creates dusty ambient, experiments influenced by pop music and conceptual soundscapes with the aid of a.o. six taperecorders, melodica, xylophone, guitar and an analogue computer. Old means, new music. Meticulously detailed sounds and simple, but beautiful melodies.
Soccer Committee is the alias of singer-songwriter Mariska Baars. In the last few years, she impressed many with some self-released ep’s (a.o together with Machinefabriek), a cd and astounding live performances. Subtle, modest guitar loops provide the foundation for the intimate vocals of Mariska Baars. Vocals that practically get whispered in your ear. Beauty to cry for.

The last outdoor PIKNIK of this season is coming up in Havenkwartier Deventer. On Sunday the 21st of September (17:00-23:00) Cette Truc, Radion and Ferdi Blankena do their minimal techno thingy. All the previous editions were great, so I’m expecting no less for this last one. This PIKNIK is co-hosted by DDS again. More info overhere. Hope to see you there!
I’m doing my Cette Truc thing again, on the 13th of September in ‘t Ukien in Kampen. I’m serving up danceable audio chunks, together with Bram van den Oever this time. And waddaya know, I always wanted to see Adept perform live sometime, and they just so happen to play there on the same night! Be there at 21:30.
Oh, you can still download this Cette Truc dj-mix, if you want to get the general idea. No guarantees though, I might come up with someting completely different…
Yoshimi! released ‘II aka The Cheshire Rat‘ through esc.rec. last year and is finishing the work on his first album right now. He plays pleasantly rambling lofi popsongs, played with a broad variety of instruments, like the cello, conga, guitar, synth, bass, bongo, tarbuka, rababa, harmonium, trumpet, accordeon, drums, ukulele and -let’s not forget- his voice. Yoshimi! doesn’t hide the fact that his sound is greatly influenced by The Magnetic Fields. He performs live with the help of his brother, a drummer and sometimes his grandfather.
Ever since Toxic Chicken released his debut album through esc.rec. last year, his output seems unstoppable… Besides releasing another (free mp3) release through esc.rec. he also released several (free) albums through other labels. His bewildering songs, hectic beats and lofi punk noise eruptions often give a personal glance into the chaotic lifestyle of Toxic Chicken. Due to his unorthodox use of attributes and energetic performance spasms, his live performances are remarkable to say the least!
