It has been a while since the last edition, but De Keuken is back! The DIY stage which brings experimental music and more which you will not see in your average club. Of course it was at the place to be the Pletterij in Haarlem. Curator and host of the evening Martijn Comes selected three interesting acts.
Saenyo opened the night with guitarloops and a pile of effects. This exploded into a brutal soundscapes. It was a pity that it was too loud, half the public covered their ears and earplugs were distributed. Besides the volume it was an impressive performance.
Ard Bit and Radboud Mens create relaxing dronescapes with a table full of equipment. Their music sets your mind adrift and float in the direction of recognizable sound bites in the distance. Never reaching a destination, just gentle calmness.
All the way from Seoul, but for this night from Rotterdam, was artist Jiyoung Wi. She creates sound in every possible way with electronic equipment and a violin. The best to understand what was going on during her performance is to see it. Thanks to the Pletterij that is possible! Enjoy the whole evening and go to 1:27:58 for Jiyoungs show: De Keuken 09. Warning, if you enjoy the violin in a classical way this might be a bit too much, but if you look for a new sound it might open the door to new ideas.
