June 25: EXTRA EDITION ass-crack stage-hack

Opportunity knocked, so esc.rec. organizes/improvises this extra(!) ass-crack stage-hack in June. Yan Jun just so happens to be in The Netherlands (forPoetry International). Besides poetry he also makes music and – together with Roel Meelkop and BMB con. – he comes to Havenkwartier Deventer to perform for us on Saturday, June 25.

This experimental evening will be introduced by John Heymans, a specialist in early electronic music. His introduction could provide a useful reference or context when listening to these artists and experimental electronic music in general.

High speed poster design by me.

June 3: Ass-crack stage-hack #13 + The Diamond Exchange

After another thrilling episode of ass-crack stage-hack and a kick-ass first edition of The Diamond Exchange last month (just ask anyone who was there), the next special date is in sight. On June 3 Stranded Horse plays for us at ass-crack stage-hack #13 in Havenkwartier Deventer.

But that is not all. You can also enjoy a promising second edition of The Diamond Exchange with Jan Willem Broek and Fokko Jan Dijksterhuis. This is going to be an interesting meet-up. Really. Take my word for it.

And for all of you who were starting to miss the excellent food by Goestingjockey Jean Klare, you’re in luck. He ‘s back. But there are very few seats left as I write this, so be quick if you want to spoil your tastebuds silly. Make your reservation by mailing harco@escrec.com.

Oh, and I designed the poster again.

April 22, 23: ass-crack stage-hack #12 and The Diamond Exchange

The weekend of April 22/23 is going to be another interesting one for sure. I organize two events this weekend! On Friday April 22 John Dear Mowing Club and Sir Ian play at ass-crack stage-hack #12 in Havenkwartier Deventer. Two intimate singer/songwriter concerts I don’t recommend missing.

Here’s a slight preview of Sir Ian to win you over:

And then, the night after the 22nd of April it’s the 23rd of April. Time for the very first edition of The Diamond Exchange, featuring Bart Folmer (Radion) and Harco Rutgers (Cette Truc), who also happen to be  the founding fathers of esc.rec. way back in 2004. The Diamond Exchange will take place in Het Burgerweeshuis in Deventer. You have to pay 6 euro to get in, but then you also get to enjoy the 5 year anniversary of Deventer Dub Sessions with San Soda and Tom Trago.

Both nights are typical no-brainers in my mind. You can’t not be there!

March 18: ass-crack stage-hack #11

After almost a full year of radio silence esc.rec. continues the line of adventurous and often intimate concerts by popular demand. That makes this the 11th edition of the ass-crack stage-hack in Havenkwartier Deventer.

The brothers Kleefstra performed here before in an earlier edition of ass-crack stage-hack, then together with Machinefabriek and Soccer Committee. That was such an impressive performance that esc.rec. cordially invited them back again. This time, the Frisian poetry of Jan Kleefstra and soundscapes of guitarist Romke Kleefstra are combined with the enchanting sound of renowned bass clarinetist Gareth Davis (UK).

The second concert of the evening is provided by Bela Emerson (UK). She plays (electric) cello with a fascinating virtuosity. Her solo performances are very intense and exciting. Using electronics and effects, this lady from Brighton builds layers of rhythm and sound, making use of every part of her instrument.

Date: 18 March 2011
Open: 21:00 uur
Entrance: 5 euro
Location: Havenkwartier
