Funkerman - Sentiment album

Sentiment: https://funkerman.streamlink.to/Sentiment

It started in March when it became clear that a large part of our existence was being put on hold.

All artists had to clear their agenda. All performances were stopped. I was immediately skeptical about the rapid return of our beloved nightlife, but even more about the inspiration that in my eyes goes hand in hand with nightlife.

I started with adjusting my studio (which had been postponed way too long). In the meantime, there is a lot going on on a social level and of course I look critically at all the decisions that are taken. After all, it has the most influence on my beloved nightlife.

Some Dutch artists decided to go on a hashtag mission. I think it was a well-intended initiative to wake up the world, but far too short-sighted. You can’t capture the complexity of the current problems in 1 hashtag. The artists were publicly accused.
I respect everyone's opinion AND I understand that they can be very different depending on your personal situation. I was just a little angry about the aggressive reactions.

After that day I had a conversation about this with my friend Raf. He asked me a question.
"You're a musician, aren't you?" "Then express yourself in your music and not with words!”
At first I thought it was a bit of bullshit ;-). You have to be able to say what you think.
The next day, however, I started thinking about it and suddenly felt inspired.
I immediately started sketching how I saw it.

It’s made in the emotion of this time. How I experience this all.
I sincerely believe I’ve created a document which is an honest reflection of our time as an Electronic Musician. I hope it brings people together, like music always does.
Art may in any case be intended as a means to point out something to people without everything being immediately clear. I hope I have succeeded in this in the eyes of others, but for myself I am already very satisfied. I may hear the imperfection sometimes, but we live in an imperfect world. I wanted to keep it as unpolished as possible.
Maybe I should have always done that ;-)

I recorded the entire album several times as a “live performance” for myself.
I hope that this live registration will reach everyone as if you were really there.

Love you all,
Ardie
