Presentation video for Future Music Deventer 2030. This video and many more presentations feature in the Deventer 2030 event on the 29th of November at De Brink in Deventer. And Midas Klare (8) performs live with Nintendo DS from 15:25-15:30!

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.

Piiptsjilling is the wonderful result of the joining between Machinefabriek’s gritty electronics, the Frisian poetry of Jan Kleefstra and the subtle guitarplaying of Soccer Commitee and Romke Kleefstra.

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.

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…

Fresh video’s and photo’s of ass-crack stage-hack #3 are online now!

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!
