Blue Like It Is (113.57bPm)

Here Goes Nothing. A phrase often associated with either expecting failure or doing something risky, although none of that will be the case for this radio show, well, maybe a bit risky. But don't you worry about that. There are no restrictions and no genres here, only a wide array of music brought to you by Ranie Ribeiro.

Here Goes Nothing 13 - Operator Radio -  19 September 2023

Living by the Gregorian calendar can be a bit bothersome when you’re feeling autonomously stifled. Sometimes, if you can’t beat them, joining them ain’t so bad. Today’s radio show guest, Pat “Rocketgams” Forestell, transcends the limits of both practical and adventurous realms. Fellow Pacific Crest Trail SOBO, Forestell also has a passion for cartography, effective public transportation and living the good life. We listen to a 2000s period piece by Dragonette, reminisce on Mac DeMarco’s feel-good Sunday formula and fade out with a 70s jazz tune by Yusef Lateef. Love ya—remember to focus on your surroundings.

Ranie Ribeiro's artistic journey has taken on new dimensions and disciplines. Formerly known by his DJ moniker D-Ribeiro, Ranie Ribeiro is solidifying himself as a harpist. 

One of the notable aspects of his transformation is not only embracing the role of a composer, but also as a stage performer. 
For award winning choreographer Sedrig Verwoert’s latest piece “The Ritual” (2023), Ribeiro was initially commissioned as a co-composer alongside Phantom Wizard. Eventually both self taught musicians performed live on stage while Sedrig Verwoert and Alanna Archibald executed the piece in elegant movements.  

In live performances at acclaimed venues such as Paradiso, Melkweg and de Doelen (2023) Ribeiro used the harp to experiment with classical, electronica and hiphop elements while creating and adding on to existing compositions he describes as meditative and vulnerable. Ribeiro also appeared with singer-songwriter Linde Schone on NPO 3FM and with the newly formed Kinship Ensemble at Ruigoord (2023).

Ribeiro unveils his talents as a score composer for the first time on Het Jaar Rond on Nous’Klaer (2021), commissioned by the Netherlands Institute for Sound and Vision. Embracing the harp’s delicate resonance he went on scoring various projects such as Het Limburgse Landschap (2021), Short Scores (2022) commissioned by Eye Film, and most recently, Waka Nanga Mi (2023). The latter short film was screened at the International Film Festival Rotterdam and received massive public acclaim.

Sustainable creative inspired by the lyrical genius of Courtney Barnett, the saccharine harmonies of Dodie Clark and the dramatic irony of Andrew Bird.
