An interdisciplinary evening that revolves around words and transience - with poets (mainly in Dutch), music & experiment.

Het laatste woord, het laatste noord, het laatste oord, het laatste oor. Verdwijnende woorden, noorden, oorden en oren. Wie zegt wat, nu er nog iets te zeggen is?
Een interdisciplinaire avond die draait om woorden en vergankelijkheid.

Verwacht onder andere dichters, muziek, experiment, maar vooral: woorden waarop je kunt dansen, woorden waarin je kunt verdwijnen.

Romke Kleefstra

Jan Kleefstra

A special Ruisburo evening at Dokzaal with music, sounds and field recordings from forests and landscapes – creating awareness of the universal connection between people and nature.

MARIEKE VAN DE VEN
Marieke van de Ven makes sound walks, podcasts, audio stories, electroacoustic compositions and field recordings. She is inspired by sounds from her environment. Sounds from nature or the city; a rattling gear, a falling glass. By listening carefully to these sounds she investigates the musicality and stories within these sounds are hidden. At the intersection of concrete sounds, text, interviews and field recordings, Marieke explores the relationship between sound and story. In addition to autonomous compositions and audio stories, Marieke works as a composer and sound designer together with choreographers, dancers, writers and theater makers.

ROMKE KLEEFSTRA & JAN KLEEFSTRA
IT DEEL is the multi-year project of the Kleefstra Bros together with Popfabryk; production house for Frisian pop culture.

For IT DEEL III the Kleefstra Bros have entered into a collaboration with the Belgian multi-instrumentalist Karen Willems. Together they worked in the Thomaskerk in Katlijk on new material that was released on vinyl by Moving Furniture Records.

The Kleefstra Bros are poet Jan Kleefstra and guitarist Romke Kleefstra. Based on a deeply felt mission, the makers want to create awareness of the universal connection between people and nature and use the means available to them to this end: poetry and music.

The Belgian multi-instrumentalist Karen Willems is active in various fields. She started as a drummer in rock and pop groups such as Zita Swoon. With a number of musicians she built a tradition in improvised music and sound art. Just like the Kleefstra Bros, Karen Willems is intrigued by the forest’s landscapes and nature – that can be heard in her work.

ABOUT MOVING FURNITURE RECORDS

Mark van de Veerdonk

Mark van de Veerdonk gaat stoppen! Na 17 cabaretprogramma’s vindt hij het mooi geweest. Tijd om iets anders te gaan doen. “Herenkapper in Boekel, astronaut, filemelder op Schiermonnikoog. Ik zie wel.”

Vraag: Wat doe je als je na bijna 40 jaar je zendmicrofoon aan de wilgen hangt? Inderdaad, dan maak je tot slot je beste programma ooit, en noemt het “Podiumbeest Ontsnapt”. En daarmee gooit het Brabantse theaterdier de deur van het theater met een onvergetelijke knal achter zich dicht.

Zijn handelsmerk blijft hetzelfde: een overdosis aan oneliners, anekdotes en prettig gestoorde meningen op een zalige hoop gegooid. En dat alles met zowaar een rooie draad! Ook in dit programma jakkert hij in tweemaal 55 minuten weer heerlijk door. Van de Veerdonk: “Ja, natuurlijk met een pauze, want die behoort wat mij betreft tot de mensenrechten!”

“Podiumbeest Ontsnapt” heeft ook weer een bizar decor naar  Veerdonkiaanse traditie waar een doorsnee milieustraat zijn vingers bij aflikt.

Na afloop rest maar één vraag: waarom zou hij in hemelsnaam stoppen?

THE 2ND STOP IS JUPITER

Doors open 21:00, music 21:30
Dancing to the wildest live music in town

The second Friday of every month: 2nd Stop is Jupiter! Dancing to the wildest live music in town. This edition features The Ambush Party & the Mime Fabriek. Further line-up TBA.  

  
THE AMBUSH PARTY  
The Ambush Party is aptly named indeed. As in an ambush, the band lies in wait for the listener, and takes him by surprise. The group takes its inspiration from such diverse genres as noise, tango, opera, drum ‘n’ bass and jazz.  
  
The foursome has a great sense of musical humour to boot, in the grand tradition of the playful, sometimes sardonic irony of Misha Mengelberg. The second half of the band’s name is just as appropriate as the first: this music is a party!  
  
Natalio Sued – tenor sax | Oscar Jan Hoogland – piano | Harald Austbø – cello | Marcos Baggiani – drums  
  
MIME FABRIEK  
  
The Mime Fabriek is a meeting point. A platform in Amsterdam for the local and international mime community.

Space Impro @ Sexyland World

NOTE:
LOCATION SEXYLAND WORLD
Noordwal 1, Amsterdam

Such a wild variety of musicians, styles, genres and nationalities this edition of Space Impro at the new location of de Ruimte: Sexyland World. Tonight on stage a lot of curiosity to new sounds and rhythms in a vocabulary of free improvisation and most of all open mindedness.

Signe Emmeluth / Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard / Joel Ring
This organism moves forward. A non-dogmatic collective. The music alternates between spectral sound fields, occasional textural noise parts and displaced parallel rhythmic layers. The distinctive character of the trio and flexibility the combination of instruments offer, are clearly shown in the interplay with intonation and in creating a space where the overtones from wood and metal merge.

The pan-Scandinavian trio consists of Signe Emmeluth (DK), Joel Ring (SE) and Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard (NO) who are all part of Oslo’s improvisation scene. The trio comes from a background in free jazz, noise rock and electroacoustic music and are known from the bands Emmeluth’s Amoeba, Joel and the Neverending Sextet and Monkey Plot.

Signe Emmeluth saxophone | Magnus Skavhaug Nergaard – bass | Joel Ring – drums

Miriam den Boer / Amanda Irarrázabal
The Chilean double bassist Amanda Irarrázabal and the Dutch-Mexican violinist Miriam den Boer Salmón met in the rich music scene of Mexico City. They brought their shared love of adventure and curiosity for everything sound can be, together in a creative collaboration and a recording session in Amsterdam. In 2022, their debut album Fauces was released on the label 577 Records, which the duo celebrates with a tour through Europe.

Perpetual Bike Crash
Is the project of guitarist Francisco Garrido along with Micheal Murray on alto saxophone and Joshua Lutz on piano and keyboards. Taking influences from ambient, minimal music and film music, the band creates atmospheric soundscapes that lead the listener into a captivating and immersive ambient journey. Michael Murray alto saxophone, Joshua Lutz piano/keyboards, Francisco Garrido guitar
