Adult Fantasies

Our future lies in the past. The intensity of artistic movements at the beginning of the 20th century has never been surpassed. Long before the literary cut-up technique of William Burroughs or the musical mix of any Dj, Dadaists experimented with typographic and visual collage. What is it other than a ‘mix’ before that three-letter word had been invented? \n \nGerrit and I met in a 4-track cassette recording studio in a basement where our producer had accidentally mixed some of our tracks together…. His unstoppable flow of musical creativity was only matched by his generosity and patience to work with me. \nIt was the beginning of a beautiful friendship. \n \n'With this paraphrase of the historical closing line from “Casablanca”, we have ended where we started this ‘Quote / Unquote’: at the movies. That is no coincidence. We have always felt that we were making soundtracks for unexisting films. \n \n“Nothing remains but Towers of Silence” (Parsi). Towers of silence are funnel-shaped towers \nupon which the Parsi (or Farsi), followers of the ancient religion of Zarathustra, put their \ndead. As fire is sacred to them, they do not incinerate their dead. The corpses are put on these \ntowers, where vultures pick the flesh.' \n \nThe record is a canvas. This music is not about trends, it is about emotions, colours, stories and images. And sharing these with you has been made possible by this release on Stroom: we are very grateful to Stroom for that. And to you for listening. \n \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=154&v=ihoA0El_MJ4&feature=emb_title \n \n
