Het was weer variatie troef op de negende editie van VPRO's Dwarsfestival . De ukelele van Peter Delaney , de cello en het uitrolbare (!) toetsenbord van Aaron Martin , de banjo die Dwars voor Micah Blue Smaldone had opgeduikeld en eigenzinnige progfolk (welja) van de bands United Bible Studies en Big Eyes Family Players . Zoals altijd was het publiek muisstil om maar niets te missen van de optredens. Ik was vooral verrast door Martin's klankexperimenten die hij moeiteloos en zonder ingewikkelde apparatuur wist uit te bouwen tot golvende soundscapes. Op [...]
Photo: Hamed Masoumi Some folk music to unwind a bit and softly roll into a more reflective state of mind. But certainly no dreamy stuff either, there's plenty of foot tapping and head nodding going on. Based on the photo, it was supposed to be much more ambient-folk oriented but once the list started to take its definite form, more and more traditional song-based pieces forced their way in. These songs did a good job in accompanying me into the countryside in the weekends over the last couple of weeks. Great for staring off [...]

A busy day, a very busy day. I met my mother in Marina Del Rey for an early breakfast (10:30am). It was a short drive to Mercedes Grill, where she enjoyed eggs benedict and I inhaled two eggs, bacon and pancakes. After a long walk down a short pier, we headed over to Santa Monica. Sadly, what should have been a nice day-walk turned into a struggle to keep from wrapping my hands around her delicate little throat and squeezing as hard as I could, mainly because she insisted on buying me a new pair of sneakers. And why, because [...]
Still from Vozvrashcheniye by Andrei Zvyagintsev, 2003 The sea seems to attract people in a most irresistible and overwhelming manner. There is nothing like gazing into the horizon and getting lost in the immensity of the sea. I grew up very close to the sea – The North Sea was a mere couple of minutes away from our home – and spent many days along the shoreline. I favoured the sea in the autumn, unlike most people who preferably went to the beach during the summer. This preference for the autumn sea fits well with my [...]
