Binnensuis by Gluid, esc.rec.’s 15th release!!
Check all the info overhere. If you order real quick, you just might be one of the lucky few who gets a copy with the very, very limited handcrafted artwork by Vormversterker. But don’t get your hopes up, because most of them have already been sold at the Binnensuis performances in De Kofferbak or reserved for esc.rec. subscribers (always the first on the scene). So all you esc.rec. subscribers are in luck today, your copy is already in the mail!
By the way, I thoroughly enjoyed working together with Vormversterker on this one. So I will use this opportunity to recommend his work to anyone with the slightest sense of adventure and a feel for raw aesthetics. Check the Binnensuis page on his website and some photo’s of the production process on his Flickr page. Oh, and besides great album covers he also cooks up tasty meals.
Also I have been informed today, that because most of the shows in De Kofferbak were way past sold out, there will be at least one bonus performance scheduled on Sunday July 1st, 16:00 hrs. I’m not sure if this show is going on the road (which I think it should!), but I wouldn’t risk it and just go there. Visit the website of De Kofferbak for reservation details.

Press release
Binnensuis is a short theater play/dance performance, made by dancer Janneke Lenzen, musician Bram van den Oever (Gluid) and writer Jehudi van Dijk.
Binnensuis is 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.
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.
Esc.rec. felt that Gluid’s soundtrack (if you can still call it that) for this performance is so strong and autonomous that it was decided to make a release out of it. The unique, handcrafted artwork is cooked up by Vormversterker. This version with original (and very labour intensive) artwork is limited to only 50 numbered copies. The unlimited version is also designed by Vormversterker. Check it overhere.

The next esc.rec. release is due to be released on the 21st of June. It is the second Gluid release on esc.rec. This time it’s a piece of music made especially for the theater play ‘Binnensuis’, written and directed by Jehudi van Dijk. This release will be limited to one hundred copies and at this time Vormversterker is cooking up a handmade (and thus unique) cover for each of those hundred copies…
Try-out of Binnensuis is on the 21st of June (hence the release date). The première is on 22nd of June and there are some more shows on the 23rd and 24th. Binnensuis will be played in theater De Kofferbak in Kampen (NL).

I was invited by VPRO 3voor12 to dig deep in their extensive online audio/video archive and come up with 5 favorites for their ‘Goud graven’ (gold digging) series. Needless to say that it wasn’t very easy… However, I managed to dig up some really entertaining pieces… or at least, that’s what I think. I motivated my selection in an interview by Paul Diersen today and now here it is…
