A monthly treat to indie-pop, noise, techno and lo-fi.
Innovative elektro-acoustic music productions of today. Recordings made on Thursday 14 April 2016 at the Pletterij in Haarlem. There, a special evening took place, in which several music makers and sound masters came together and created a cultural sound debate whilst improvising. You will be listening to the magical harmonies of Armeno Alberts, Ji Youn Kang, Fred Gales, Annette Kouwenhoven and Mei-yi Lee.
Thursday April 14th 2016 Pletterij Debat en Cultuur in Haarlem organised its famous impro-sessions. The nights surrounding the theme improvisation are composed by a guest-musician that invites other known or unknown to them musicians and artists.
Also he or she creates the concept of the evening. I, as your radioproducer, had the honour to compose the evening and asked the following artists to collaborate to something that became a quite magical event.
What seemed to connect me to the artists, and them to each other, seemed to be their life-long experience with diverse sound-cultures and musicial and poetic travel and immigration. Which logically, became the theme of that evening.
