Seeds #10: Poidespaces

The 10th edition of Seeds will deal with physical movement and sound movement connected to each other. The human body as the foundation of a performance by dancer Thomas Körtvelyessy and pianist Benjamin Strauch. Reacting on weight and creating it, either dancing or playing the piano. The lively show will be the outcome of a research. Come and enjoy!

Thomas Körtvélyessy - movement/room

Benjamin Strauch - sound/space

In memoriam / In the mind: Hazrat Inayat Khan, Noa Eshkol, Morton Feldman, Salvatore Sciarrino, John Escreet and Milan Kundera

Seeds #9: David & The Circumstances

We are proud to present Singer - Songwriter - Act David & The Circumstances! After having lead his Indierock band "The Circumstances" for 7 years he has just released his first solo album called "This Part Of Me" with a more minimalistic approach, as I would characterize it. Read more about his music below in Dutch.

Be welcome and start out your new year with David & The Circumstances at the Seeds series!

www.davidandthecircumstances.com

Singer-songwriter David Groeneweg schrijft liedjes over existentiële vragen, licht, duisternis en het schemergebied daartussenin. Zijn teksten gaan over de niet aan te wijzen scheidslijn tussen het ik en de omstandigheden, de rivier en de zee, perfectie en imperfectie. Verstilde gitaar- en pianoklanken ondersteunen zijn poëtische boodschap. Invloeden zijn Radiohead, Bright Eyes en Bob Dylan.

David is sinds 2008 actief als leider van indierockband The Circumstances. In 2013 gooit hij het roer om en besluit een soloalbum op te nemen onder de naam David & The Circumstances. Ditmaal geen scheurende gitaarwalmen, maar akoestische gitaartokkels, minimalistische pianopartijen, rafelige achtergrondzang en subtiele e-bow geluiden.

Seeds #8: Giving Up For A New Landing

The coming edition of Seeds promises to be very spontaneous. It is dedicated to nowadays refugees. I will be there on the piano and I will be joined by surprise guests. I am sure we will enjoy a colorful musical time together. The garage in Crooswijk welcomes you with its raw feel! Be there to join the evening with an original "Crooswijkse Bocht" beer. Greetings - Benjamin Strauch

Seeds #7: Choca Alcazaba & Friends

The upcoming edition of Seeds will present the Self taught multi-instrumentalist Choca Alcazaba, founder of Dutch psychedelic jazz-rock formation The New Earth Group, composer of yet another great album ‘Hurts Really Happy’ soon to be released.  

We are looking forward to the night when he will awaken our cosy garage in Croowsijk to new life with Jasper den Dulk on drums, Vincent van Duin on guitar and Erwin Stoepman on guitar! I am sure it will widen our scopes on both sides of the imaginary stage curtains!

 
With a hint of chilli’s, flares of light, a sweep of smoke and dressed in a jazz-coat, they will do their best to bring rotterdam underground instrumental music to a higher level.

Come join for ecstatic-die-hard-experimental-jazz-punk-space-noise-rock and enjoy another nice night at Seeds while sippin’ your favorite drink...

Seeds #6: Invitation Tools

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.
