Utopia_Experimental performance @ De Paltz (excerpt)

'Landschappen' ('Landscapes') is a spacious tape piece, meant to be a sonic representation of Dutch Landscapes. There is a lot of inspiration & admiration to find in these endlessly flat, empty spaces. There's been a need to express these landscapes in music because of this.

It's these typical impressions of emptiness and endlessness in Dutch landscapes, which form the basic concept of the piece.
