Tsuro

Written in fall 2021 after completing my first cross-country road trip and seeing a different side of the US for the first time as an adult (drove to LA & back to spend a summer in LA prior to deciding to make the move). I both revisited and discovered lots of Western & "desert"-inspired music on the drive, from Sonny' Rollins’ "Way Out West" to assouf/"Desert Blues". This composition emerged from these experiences visiting one-street towns for the first time, long listening sessions, and views of the open road, especially driving through the stunning desert landscapes in the western US.

Hello, we are Big Mess.
Over the past several months, we have been constantly working on our EP, which is the audio you are hopefully listening to right now. It has been an interesting journey and has served as a significant life experience to produce this album together. When we first started recording the songs for this EP, we were not aware of what was going to happen down the line. In the first few months, we were just hanging out and making music with different people at different times. But thanks to the way Maastricht is wonderfully built, we ended up being able to spend even more time together whenever we didn't have other things to do.
Some of the most complicated challenges that arose took place in the realm of subjectivity. Perhaps this album would have been released even sooner if it weren't for the "noise" we created for ourselves during this entire process. I don't mean to talk negatively about this noise, because it is certainly something we might carry alongside us for our entire lives. In that sense, I think it's important to mention it in a whole paragraph—or even dedicate a whole one to it—because it served as one of the most important teachers during this time span.
This EP would also not have been possible without the help of some wonderful people. Which are: Arturo Ramirez Hintze, Abhig Ya, Aga, Henri Schappert and Dimitris Terpizis.
Now that the EP has come to an end—at least the recording part—we are excited to see what other forms music will take in our lives, and hopefully within this group as well. Perhaps it is not well-received if one speaks about closure at this point, but from the start, when we were experimenting with different sounds, there was already no need for it.
And that is how we continue. We continue by making music however we can; we continue by maybe not continuing to make music; we continue, and we just trust music.

Pues, Hola hola. Como van? (Ft. Dimitris Terpizis)
