This is a story I wrote about the fear of endless possibilty, the hiding in your room and feeling stuck. 
You can find your way out even if you don't think you can.

The Falling Self

I'm having a hard time growing out of home. I grew up in a loving, but also tense environment, and the love now makes it hard to distance myself from there and plant my own life. I need to start trusting myself to be okay on my own in order to grow into a strong tree.

Radical Outgrowth

I didn’t know where to start so I started with the sounds that surround me in my house.
Things like smoking, eating and drinking while working.
The daily sounds that you normally never pay attention to are good ways to use as effects.
Taking care of yourself while working and still having fun.

The Rhythm of Self Care

My project is to get in touch with myself, to create my own future. I am pursuing the freedom of me, within myself. It is a journey that passes through emotional undercurrents, through rhythms, filled with my thoughts and feelings. It passes towards the sunny summer, to the open. There awaits life without time, and without expectations, a true freedom to make.

Undercurrent Of The Radical Sun

Feeling and accepting emotions that come and go.

In My Self

It's a sound piece about a nightmare. When you're dozing off to sleep, and you hear strange noises. I's starting to feel unfamiliar and lonely. And then in the silence you hear a voice... She was waiting for you. I was interested by making a piece about something that is, weirdly enough, relaxing for me. And that topic is Horror.

Radical Sleep

The stormy night slowly turns into a wondrous day. You will find yourself among the birds that act as an awakening beacon along with the wonderful voice of a local choir.

The Radical Difference Between Day And Night

Weird sounds combined together to create a chill vibe. Just like the insecurities on what we think are our defects, that can be converted in something beautiful for ourselves when we finally accept them.

Radical Glitch

Beginning with frustration. Change it into a freestyle. Listen back and make a song out of it. And make yourself proud.

Radical Self Rap

The Sound of Radical Self Care happened during the projectweek in feb 2022 at Academie Minerva. Students of mostly Fine Arts researched during this week their past, present and future, their dreams and their challenges, and experimented with sound and music. The results are a combination of the self research and sound experimentation. We worked with the tools of Motivatieclub XL, online software like Bandlab and hardware units like analog and digital synthesizers.

This project was guided by Roos 'ROOSPEEE' Pollmann of Questions Collective
