Tender is the Night

Guitar improvisation with field recording.
From the CD 'A Quiet Place'. 
Bandcamp: https://martinhoogeboom.bandcamp.com/album/a-quiet-place
Mastered by Marlon Wolterink.

These improvisations are influenced by the landscape near the river Eem. This empty landscape has everything to do with swamps reclaimed in the Middle Ages, the expansion of the Zuiderzee and the many floods that occurred here until 1932. At high tide, the water flowed over the dikes and sometimes they broke. The inflowing water then sanded a vortex hole, which is called a "waai". These ‘waaien' are now small lakes behind the dikes. It is an old and empty landscape where the light bounces off their surface and clouds moving over slowly.

The core of my soundscapes is often formed by improvisations with an acoustic guitar and loop station. Six of these improvisations can be heard in their pure form for their first time on this ET release. Sound treatment and mix by Theo Calis. Artwork: Martin Hoogeboom.

W R A N G (Aïssani/Banabila/Hoogeboom - please read description)

Kze-U or Kse-U means ‘mourn’ in the language of the Baka.

The Baka People, known in the Congo as Bayaka (Bebayaka, Bebayaga, Bibaya), are hunter-gatherers inhabiting the southeastern rain forests of Cameroon, northern Republic of Congo, northern Gabon, and southwestern Central African Republic.
In recent years, deforestation of the tropical forest has greatly increased. For example, some deforestation projects have been initiated in order to procure palm oil which is heavily found within the confines of the forest. Deforestation impacts the Baka as the forest is their home. These deforestation projects can be extremely detrimental to the Baka as they will be destroying the environment on which they so heavily rely.

This soundscape is our contribution to awareness and a tribute to a vanishing culture.
A drop in the ocean, but nevertheless a drop.

This is a revised version of one that appeared earlier on the 2015 Christmas compilation of Petroglyph Music.

‘The Garden, act 1, scene I’ taken from the new Martin Hoogeboom EP ‘The Garden’ on Etched Traumas.
Please listen and/or download here: 
https://etchedtraumas.bandcamp.com/album/the-garden

The music on ‘The Garden’ was created with the Super 8 films (https://youtu.be/IdHePjYqu-A)
by independent movie director Derek Jarman (1942-1994) in mind. These films show Jarman at his most visually courageous and creative, using prisms, filters and superimposition to produce rich colour and artistically bold compositions. The transient images, isolated like paintings, are the essence of Derek Jarman and his visual vocabulary.
The Garden: tribute to a great artist.

Martin Hoogeboom: guitar/loop station
Marlon Wolterink: mastering

Theo and I have worked on countless music projects over the past 40 years. I have learned a lot from his stubborn and headstrong views and methods of recording and mixing music. His influence on my soundscapes is immense. In 2014 we both enjoyed working on “Where Do We Go From Here?” (2014 - Etched Traumas - ET77) which became also part of the soundtrack of Australian short movie “Grid Face”. Pieces for acoustic guitar and loop station.

In 2017 I worked on a sequel, the guitar suite "Licht". 
“Epitaph (for TC)” is originally a demo version of one of the pieces but unused in the “Licht” version as it appeared on CD (2018 “LIght / Well” - Thirsty Leaves Music - TLM019). Due to Theo’s health problems it was not possible to collaborate on this project but he appreciated the sober minimal guitar pieces for what they were.

I will remember Theo with great respect for the rest of my life.
