Strange Whispers, Of WaterAnd Exit.
EP
"This record started as a collection of living room jams, field recordings from desert ruins and European lowlands, snippets from the live Cloud Sequence video, words and melodies written over different weeks, months, and years, all to melt together in a whisper. Strange Whispers Of Water And Exit has a desire to shape-shift whilst remaining one. A fluid form of solid sound built with synthesisers and song as electronic, experimental pop."

Heimwee/Verwee Single
“We were in an isolated period in June 2020. In Central Australia we watched the world from a distance. We live on an island, on an island, here,” they say about the making of Heimwee/Verwee.“Heimwee is often associated with homesickness”, they explain about the track’s Dutch-language title. “Verwee is a longing for travel and distant unknown places”.
“It’s a title of longing and total opposites - a longing for home and for adventure,” something sure to resonate with a world now facing isolation and restricted movement, for the foreseeable future.
Cycling through a series of languid movements, the result is a superbly moving, cavernous musical lament – a sonic ‘depth charge’ that spaciously ignites our innermost vulnerabilities around place, belonging and loss. It drones, it throbs. Dissolves. It is the sound of human frailty.
Heimwee/Verwee is a lush, moody internal conversation between two thoughtful performers who understand the interdependency between nature and humanity. Likewise, it explores the tenuous, illusory hold we have over certainty and the external world. In the blink of an eye eveything can vanish.

Plek
Immersive headphone concert during artist in Residency at de Lievelinge.
Found sounds from around the Lievelinge, guitar, synthesizer and poetry. Performed as a 25 minute live headphone concert.
‘Stromen uitgesneden door de mond van regen
Voel ik me bekeken door de ogen van de berkenbomen
Door de harde wind applaudisseren de bladeren op hun tak
Voor een voor mij onbekende zaak
Groots en belangrijk zal het wezen
Ontvang ik het even
En word ik herinnerd aan de andere waarheid
Door het gepiep van het molletje dat dient als avondmaal voor de ooievaar
Reorganiseer ik mijn gedachten, zorgt een plek voor een andere blik
Als het herinrichten van mijn kamer, verschuif ik stoel en tafel
In gedachten.’

A response to surrounding.
A response to surrounding, with Butoh dancers Margarita and Yi.
A collaboration between Butoh dancers Margarita (Taiwan), Yi (China) and Droomdata during artist in Residency at de Lievelinge in June 2019.
Butoh is a form of dance/theater/expression that was created in Japan after world war two. It is an art that is associated with pain, taboes and expression, however multi-interpreted across the world and through the ages. Dancer Margarita and Yi both studied the art of Butoh performance and have been traveling and performing their craft. Butoh is a performance that is felt by the viewer, where expression through the body takes hold.
We questioned how place and surrounding holds memory for us, and therefore, parts of who we are. We questioned how we relate, take responsibility for, and memorize places that once were part of our daily routine, and may now have transformed into distant places. How do we connect to place, and how does place connect to us?
The musical and DroomData elements of the live performance were build up by recorded and edited found sounds from in and around the Lievelinge. Thereafter layered with live vocals and synthesizer, attempting to create a melancholic whole to assist the dramatic, sensitive and powerful movements of the Butoh dancers.

Metamorphosis 🦋
A collaborative piece between butoh performing duo Margarita (Taiwan), Yi (China) and musical duo Swallet; Sy (Tasmania) Saar (Netherlands).
For this collaboration all the artists camped out in the desert, and collaborated on a performance that communicated back and forth on each others art. From movement to sound, sound to movement.

Stoeptegels on New Weird Australia
New Weird Australia, Space Between Space is a work of four parts: quiet, loud, broken and fixed. Music of inquiry, of anger, of loss, of promise – and the space between all such things.''
The track is called stoeptegels, with words that sum up absurdity, reality and immateriality. All collected and found sounds, composed into a dream scape.
This album is something special, so many amazing tracks, and incredibly well curated... What a privilage to be part of, thank you so much New weird Australia.
Space between space is available on bandcamp. All proceeds from this release will be donated to the Barpirdhila appeal, which supports Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander artists & community affected by COVID-19.
