Just like with the previous ass-crack stage-hack opportunity came knocking and esc.rec. opted for hosting yet another EXTRA ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer.
TweetACSH #15 with Paul de Jong, Bart Folmer
Just like with the previous ass-crack stage-hack opportunity came knocking and esc.rec. opted for hosting yet another EXTRA ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer.
Paul de Jong, classically trained cello player and half of the renowned American duo The Books is in The Netherlands and gladly returns to the city of Deventer. He was here a few years ago to compose a piece about Okkenbroek and perform this composition at the Herfsttonen festival there. He was invited by esc.rec. for this project and it resulted in an audience moved to tears and a contribution to the Herfsttonen release (listen to it here). This time he comes over to improvise on cello, especially for us. Pure enjoyment awaits you here, you just have to show up!
If Bart Folmer is DJ-ing he usually does so under his Radion moniker and wastes no time letting the audience know it is time to shake their booty. This time however, Bart shows us his sensitive, melancholy side. Expect anything ranging from modern classical and minimal music to singer/songwriter and subtle, melodious electronica. Lean back and let yourself drift off into bliss.
Date: July 17, 2011

Seeljocht
Into The Great Wide Open Festival scores bigtime this year with Seeljocht, an ‘artists in residence’ project which can be traced back to the origins of this festival; the island Vlieland as a source of inspiration for music. Before the first edition I have frequently discussed these ideas with Peter Boorsma, founding father of Into The Great Wide Open. It’s good to see that these ideas now finally get their chance to fully evolve in a side project of the third edition. Way to go Peter! Read an interview here.
And with a line-up like this, how can you go wrong? Piiptsjilling (Mariska Baars, Romke Kleefstra, Rutger Zuydervelt, Jan Kleefstra), Peter Broderick, Nils Frahm, Heather Broderick, Greg Haines, 33 1/3 Group (Douwe Dijkstra, Coen Huisman, Jules van Hulst) and Sytze Pruiksma working together in one collaborative effort to capture the island in sound and vision. Several of these artists have performed in past editions of esc.rec.’s ass-crack stage-hack, and the ones who didn’t I would love to book in future editions.
Anyway, really looking forward to hearing (and seeing) the results of this collab. I probably won’t be there for the live performance at Into The Great Wide Open (tickets are sold out), but I’m confident the registration will sufficiently blow me away. Check this site to closely follow the endeavours of this supergroup.
TweetShort ACSH update
It seems that Dennis de Bel has made a last minute surprise decision to tag along in ass-crack stage-hack #14. So he might be present there tomorrow. Check here for one of his latest works.
TweetZonnebrand
My dear colleagues at Lomechanik just released Zonnebrand, a boooomin’ summer compilation to drive around with in your car with the windows rolled down. Amongst others it features Julien Mier and Sam A La Bamalot. Both artists are rising stars; some recent highlights here and here. Be quick ordering the physical release of Zonnebrand if you want it, it’s very limited!
