Seeds is een reeks concerten in het dorpse Crooswijk. Muzikanten en kunstenaars uit Rotterdam worden in contact gebracht met het directe en openhartige Crooswijkse publiek. Er wordt met de ambitie gewerkt om elkaar te verruimen. Het gewone wordt speciaal en het speciale wordt gewoon. De initiatiefnemers nodigen artiesten uit om gedurfde en verse projecten te tonen van Songwriter tot abstracte Jazz en van woordkunst tot video projectie. Dus hier gaat het gebeuren!
Two ways of performing: One goes via sound, another via spoken word. Benjamin Strauch triggers the audience's own participation in a call - response game. Whereas Toine Horvers offers a view and leaves it up to the audience to go with it or not.

Benjamin Strauch - Mesh Serum
Mesh Serum is a concert program with compositions and improvisations based on the Blues and influenced by contemporary classical music and rock music. It is inspired by the interweaving mesh established during encounters of people.
Toine Horvers - Rotation 2015
This work was inspired by the eternal rotating movement (Galaxy). It is an important metaphor in the ideas and ceremonies of the Mevlevi Sufi-order, with which Toine Horvers recently had very inspirational meetings in Istanbul.

Telling and being moved
Fifth edition of Seeds
The fifth
edition of Seeds presents an evening on words seen by three different artists.
The researching performance Inis Oírr about an island in the Atlantic Ocean by
Toine Horvers meets a brave journey by the duo Stephanie & Benjamin and the
trippy solo performance by singer-songwriter Robin den Drijver. Be there, it’s
a favourable opportunity!
Seeds presents an intriguing show as a double bill. A very personal encounter with Tamara Woestenburg performing her songs solo will be joined by an energetic invitation to life by a duo performance of Ventriloquism with bass guitar and tap dance.
Tamara Woestenburg
Tamara Woestenburg sings and writes songs. She is expressive, original and raw, which is reflected in her songs. Both solo and supported by a band, the singer/songwriter presents different spheres and genres: from small and intimate, till ambitiously big; from Folk through Jazz to raw Rock. Tamara's moving and exciting voice, her intense performance and personal songs, are supported by imaginative instruments and arrangements.
Het staat voor buikspreken - uit het latijn: venter (buik) en loqui (spreken) - en is bekend door het gebruik van handpoppen. De zogenaamde ventriloquist manipuleert de stem zo dat het lijkt alsof het ergens anders vandaan komt, zoals een pop. Bruno gebruikt echter instrumenten en andere artiesten om ditzelfde effect te krijgen.
Hij heeft verschillende composities gemaakt die on- derdeel vormen van een carrousel die gespeeld kan worden in verschillende samenstellingen. Inmiddels zijn er 17 stukken, maar het aantal blijft groeien. De compos- ities vinden hun oorsprong op de basgitaar maar kunnen allemaal worden uitgevoerd op andere instrumenten en door andere artiesten zonder dat ze de compositorische integriteit verliezen.

Dear all,
The third edition of Seeds is coming up. A concert series with the aim to experience and re-create music through players and audience. An Improvisation night with three different duos.
saxofone Hugo Costa
laptop Ivo Paunov
piano Benjamin Strauch
drums Philipp Ernsting.
The only composition of the night will be "Extinction Story" by Ivo Paunov and Hugo Costa.
COSTA ERNSTING (nl)
Hugo Costa & Philipp Ernsting form a new free jazz/improvisation duo from Rotterdam. Their music is created in and from the moment, resulting in a fine blend that can be both noisy and violent, sometimes melodic and subtle. Both musicians are skilled and very empathetic players, and enjoy exploring the interplay and space between pure rhythm, lyricism and harmony. The music is intended to always move forward and surprise.
Benjamin Strauch
Benjamin Strauch, born 1985 in Weimar, Germany, is a pianist with a fixed point in Jazz. As a soloist, in trio and interacting with other art directions. Improvisation, spontaneous response to the place, the audience and to the line up come together with a wide range of sound possibilities. His playing comes equally from experience and re-creation. As a graduate of the Rotterdam Conservatory traditional Jazz is familiar to him. Exploring complex sounds his style has clear references to the Blues as well as an undertone of Soul. Raw sounds and structures are catalysts of a reciprocal reaction between ego and echo through players and audience. Freedom communicates with the moment when people call in between, move through the space or are surprised by themselves.
Laat muziek dicht bij je komen, muziek die je uitdaagt en thuis laat voelen.
Met het Yellow Dog Trio, de samenwerking van de Duitse pianist Benjamin Strauch, de Portugese contrabassist Gonçalo Almeida en de Nederlandse slagwerker Friso van Wijck.
