Commissioned music for the exhibition "De Ommuurde Stad" at  Centraal Museum in Utrecht for Le Guess Who?'s OFF event, supposed to take place on 14th and 15th of November 2020. Cancelled due to thee olde plague, made available for perambulation at said exhibition at own leisure, or rumination elsewhere. 

"De Ommuurde Stad" tells the story of Utrecht's city walls; their construction, hay-days and eventual decline. The piece is dedicated to Trijn van Leemput, who took up a pickaxe at the break of day on May 2nd 1577 and set out to start demolition of Kasteel Vredenburg to prevent recapture by Spanish oppressors.

Recorded  and mixed by Serpentine at Serpentine Studios (and Studio Patrick). Made possible by Centraal Museum and Le Guess Who?
