A beautiful combination: duduk and medieval organ. Recorded by Jaap Zijp in the 12th church of Marsum (near Appingedam, NL), improvised by Vahe Hovanesian and Jankees Braaksma.

De Dollart" is an orchestral voyage that takes listeners on a journey through the tranquil meadows and stormy horizons of the Dollart region in the north of The Netherlands. Inspired by the natural beauty and historical significance of the area, the composition captures the essence of a 14th-century landscape, teetering on the brink of apocalyptic change.

Musically, the piece is a masterclass in orchestral storytelling. It employs a range of techniques—from glissandi and chromatic runs in the strings to evoke anxiety, to the full harmonic breadth of the brass section to convey overwhelming emotion. The composition is anchored by a strong, recurring theme, reminiscent of Beethoven's iconic motifs, and draws textural inspiration from the works of John Williams.

Special thanks to Marcel Mandos and Spinbarg, Liefke Knol. Performed by The North Netherlands Symphony Orchestra, recorded by Harry Zwerver, conducted by Hans Leenders, and composed, orchestrated, mixed, and mastered by Arnold Veeman.

warming up on fear

"Loat Heur Keraaiern" is een reflectief lied van Arnold Veeman dat subtiel de gaswinningsproblematiek in Groningen aanpakt. Gebruikmakend van poëtische metaforen die de cyclus van exploitatie en herstel symboliseren, roept het nummer op tot respect voor de natuurlijke processen van de aarde. Het refrein, dat letterlijk vertaald 'laat haar helen' betekent, is een oproep tot verantwoordelijkheid en hoop voor de genezing van moeder aarde. Dit lied is een diepgaande en emotionele reflectie op de balans tussen menselijke behoeften en ecologisch respect.

Lyrics:

There is a place in your mind, where dreams pack together forever and ever, but they hold up when you try to remember them, fading away ‘till they’re way out of sight.

So/And now let’s turn back the time, to release and discover our hopes in a lover, and climb to the edge of your life, where the piece of your puzzle will fit in the grand scheme of things. And once you are done, you will fly back to life with your wings.

There lies an old town at night, with its dark narrow streets and their lanterns that shine. It is quiet; all the hope is inside. You can see it, but now when you think of it, it fades away

Dreaming of a standstill takes you down.
