EI-CEL

EI-CEL, a festival weekend in and around the IJsselhotel in Deventer, organized by WILLIE and Rockarty. There’s an ongoing exhibition with work by Babet Olde Weghuis, Maaike Folmer, Frank Prinsen and Bart Folmer inside the IJsselhotel. On Saturday evening there is good food and some nice chamber music by the Musica Silvestra Orchestra, followed by a massive party on a cruising cruiseboat on the river IJssel. On the upperdeck: the very first esc.rec. labelnight (with performances by Double, Marius, slo-fi, and dj Harco). And on the lower deck: Patricia’s Greatest Synthesizer Hits, Radioactive Man, Coparck, Geigercounting, Radion and visuals by Pixelpasta. The festival closed on Sunday evening with the swamp rock of Planet Orange.

J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinees

J’ee-haw! exhibition at WILLIE in the IJsselhotel, Deventer: Vrienden van J’ee-haw! Galerie Prints, J’ee-haw! Compact Disc (with Cowboy Bodybuilder Billboard and J’ee-haw! Audioburst), J’ee-haw! Remixed (with listening cabines), ZZZZ-monument.

The exhibition is open every Sunday, 13.00-17.00 hrs. We host five Sunday Matinees during the exhibition, with live performances by the following J’ee-haw! Remixers: Sasker Scheerder, Dion, Harco, Edwin van der Heide and Dr. Auratheft.

Sasker Scheerder @ J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinee October 17:

Passwort FM – a Secret Service: A valuable service to computerusers, allowing them to submit their most important passwords to an online database where, whithout human intervention, the passwords are translated text-into-speech and broadcasted in an hourly cycle onto a idiosyncratic radiostation. The user can localize the station and listen back his now forgotten password that was programmed to be read out at the user’s time of choice, in minutes/ seconds after the hour. For security reasons the location of the radiostation will vary regularly. Photo: Secret Console at IJsselhotel.

Dion @ J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinee October 24:

Hiphop extravaganza with Beatmaker/DJ Dion on the wheels of steel (with open mic!). Dion also creates beats for Dutch rappers Jawat! and Duvel.

Harco @ J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinee October 31:

A long, freaky, but occasionally authentic country-set, injected with experimental electronics, supported by ever faithful companion MC Hobbe.

Edwin van der Heide @ J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinee November 7:

Live performance by Edwin van der Heide, preceded by the dj-debut of Jeannette. Edwin van der Heide is working as autonomous artist in the field of sound, space and interaction. His original background is in electronic music. His current work is hard to define in the traditional terms of music, sound art or media art because he is permanently working on the edge and the characteristics of the used medium. In this sense the medium does not just mediate but is being explored, redefined, and finally composed with a musical approach involving a new communicating language. The fact that qualities of musical language are being used in development of the work does not mean that the presentation form of the work is related to the concert form known in music. The result can either be an installation, a performance or an environment.

Dr. Auratheft @ J’ee-haw! Sunday Matinee November 14:

URBI & ORBI, a sonic review. Here’s a bonus review of Dr. Auratheft’s sonic review by Rufus.K.

Fabrique Sonique

Deejayed on a Fabrique Sonique night in Burgerweeshuis, Deventer. Luke Vibert was also supposed to be there, but he quite arrogantly decided not to show up… However this did give me the opportunity to do my first back to back dj-set with Radion, who also organized the Fabrique Sonique nights. We filled Luke’s place nicely and rocked the place!

The Fabrique Sonique night is no more… which is sad because it was the most challenging electronic dance night in Deventer at that time.
