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.
