Souvenirs van de Woeste Grond is a project initiated by Landschap Overijssel and Kunstenlab. In this project two artists set out to collect stories about the countryside landscape and save them from obscurity. In the second phase of the project eight different artists make a souvenir based on the collected stories. These souvenirs are going to be available at different locations in the province of Overijssel. You can find more information here.

Besides being a visual artist and designer I also run a small indepent record label. As some of you may know. Anyway, I am one of the eight selected artists to make a souvenir. Mine is going to be a CD with six compositions based on the stories collected by Heidi Linck about Losser and it’s surroundings. The release itself is also based on one of those stories.

I selected the six artists for this compilation: Gluid, Gareth Davis, Machinefabriek, Wouter van Veldhoven, Reinier van Houdt and Weerthof. I also designed and hand-produced the cover and booklet for this limited edition release.

On June 22 this is going to be released. On Esc.rec. of course. Both as a limited edition CD release and as a download. I really like how this project merges my art, my design and my record label into one.

On June 22 you are kindly invited to attend the Souvenirs van de Woeste Grond festival in Steenfabriek De Werklust in Losser. All eight souvenirs and some of the stories will be presented here, along with a guided tour of this spectacular location. Two of the artists featured on my CD will perform their compositions live on this special occasion: Gareth Davis and Reinier van Houdt. If you want to attend, please let the organization know in advance: read the full invitation (pdf) here, or on Facebook.
