母も父も is an exploration into the mysticism of traditional Japanese music. Accompanied by two electric guitars, chopsticks, found objects and electronics.

NA JA
The new improv punk duo from Rotterdam, NL, chopped up with a collage of Japanese randomness, some Sun Ra, Tarkovsky and whistles by Jodorowsky. Their coming-in-to-being started during a residency (thanks to Lukas Simonis) in the Worm studio where the romantic couple were just stumbling through an improvised half hour of guitar and drum noise. Was it the lack of air in the studio or the indifference to the upcoming religious December-supposed-to-be-festivities that fuelled this overtly distorted mishmash? Who knows. It's here now.

Circular Bed
Jorrit's creative way of using electronics makes their music full of textures and layers, and not-so-orthodox trumpet playing brings in the organics. Adventurous improvisations turn into melodical stories and vice versa.
The overall mood is constantly slipping out of any restrictions and attempts to describe. It's a mixture of futuristic soundscapes, heartful cries and musical hide-and-seeks.

Soon to expire
The good side of weird. The black and white era opera extravaganza. The sound you'd hear if your grandmother was spiked with acid before her cabaret show.
Soon to expire is a Rotterdam based duo performing slowed down record, distorted radio waves, reverberated improvised opera singing resulting in an old grainy black and white picture faded away to barely recognise the sound of what was.

Thijs Meindertsma - Paintthings
Through exploration of dreams and other subconscious realms, Thijs uses paint to express these experiences on a canvas. The interaction between the perception of the mind and the limitations of the physical world are exploited in his works.Nieuwe alinea
