Gonzo Circus magazine #172 plaatste een groot interview, geschreven door Stijn Buyst. De directe aanleiding was de Esc.rec. uitgave Matter Affect door De Perifeer, maar deze vier pagina’s gaan ook over (andere uitgaven op) platenlabel Esc.rec. en over De Perifeer. Bovendien staat er een halve pagina met het aankomende programma van De Perifeer in hetzelfde nummer. Het kan niet op.
Matter Affect is a voluminous compilation with work by all artists, performers and collaboration partners who have been confronted with COVID restrictions in the program of De Perifeer in recent years; shows that have been cancelled, moved (several times), took place in an adapted form or could not even be booked.
I was interviewed for Louder Than War. Thank you Richard James Foster! And thank you Jeannette for taking pictures of me assembling the next release by Frond.
“Esc.rec. is one of the most intriguing labels in The Netherlands. The Deventer-based operation is one of a small but dedicated group of one-man labels (yes, it’s mostly men) such as Moving Furniture Records, Futura Resistenza!, and Tiny Room Records; who – if my inbox is anything to go by – seem to be able to release a record every week. They are vital to the wider ecoculture of the alternative music scene in the country and are pathfinders for a wider European network of avant-garde and underground artists. Hidden away outside of the Randstad and utterly dedicated to their particular cause, these are sort of actors who never really get the plaudits their unceasing work deserves.”
I was invited to participate in the quarterly magazine of publisher Petrichor. Since this magazine is in Dutch, I’m guessing it’s mainly of interest for Dutch readers. If you can’t understand a word of what’s coming next, but would still like to know what’s up, please let me know and I’ll translate for you.
