Meanwhile Danny Saul will give a workshop/lecture at the Academy for Pop Culture in the town of Leeuwarden, where the whole bunch will perform on Friday the 15th. Together with students Danny will work on new stuff, which will be performed live on January the 17th in De Lawei in the town of Drachten, where a Klanklânskippen afternoon takes place. That's the last date of the short tour.

Hope to see you at one of these venues! And listen to this new work by K|B|K!

LAST YEAR AND NEXT

While 2014 was a year of quite a few releases, in 2015 we only published Slieperswaar with Piiptsjilling. Though, Jan published three collections of poems within a year; two Dutch collections (Melk Druppen, Raafverwantschap) and one Frisian (Sniefellen). Meanwhile we joined the Tsjinlûd collective, recorded an album with it and were part of the great artist in residence project Klanklânskippen Japan, featuring Rei Hayama, Takashi Makino, Osamu Sakamoto and Kei Shichiri (see picture). The recordings will be published next year as a book plus cd, with poetry, paintings and photography by all Tsjinlûd members. Also the movies made during the Klanklânskippen project will be released in the near future.

What more 2016 will bring? Well, we'll also release new material by Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra, we'll be performing now and then with Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra and Tsjinlûd and hope to record more new stuff, for instance with Piiptsjilling. We also hope to be involved in another 'Klanklânskippen artist in residence project' again. So, mainly new releases, gigs, projects and probably more to come... Keep an eye on the blog or Romke's facebook.
