Performances

Une Pensée Ininterrompue. La nouvelle pièce. I'll be posting some more rehearsal excerpts soon. Check back every once in a while to see the piece grow. It's part of a new mixed program with some short and some longer pieces.

Enjoy some video outtakes of the rapid prototypes from the first rehearsals and come and see the show. It's going to be very good.

Back in October and November we did two site specific events at the beautiful Villa Ockenburgh in The Hague. Non-Parametric Intervention 1 & 2 and Non-Parametric Intervention 3. We also did a try-out of Field Study No.1, a new dance installation piece.

Listening

Joanna Newsom: Have One on Me. I must confess that I'd never heard of her. I listened to the album because of some raving reviews I read. They are totally deserved. It's a triple album. Two hours of music. Think accoustic Kate Bush, Bat for Lashes. Poetic. Dreamy.

Four Tet: There is love in you. I loved the collaboration he did with Burial last November, which I instantly took with me to the studio when I heard it. I'll upload some video excerpts.

Pantha du Prince: Black Noise. Sensual, elegant minimal dance.

Ripperton: Niwa. Dreamy, moody, introverted mostly minimal dance although some tracks are more house oriented.

Gonjasufi: A Sufi & a Killer. Interesting hip hop. Think DJ Shadow, MC 900 ft Jesus.

And I discovered some more work by Tristan Murail.

My source for new music. Streaming only, but an excellent way to quickly sample new releases.
