Herlev: Scout
I’m in the middle of nowhere, or at least so it feels; Herlev. Every Danish person I told about my visit didn’t have a clue where it is. I feel like a army scout, investigating new grounds.
Aarhus: Binge
Tonights show in Aarhus was (as always in Aarhus) loads of fun. The organisers provided us with many radio’s to fill the space with sound, which is exactly what we did.

I was never a coffeedrinker, but the last weeks I slowly started drinking coffee. It all started off with a small cup of espresso in Berlin and now, two weeks later, I am on 5 cups of coffee a day. I think I have to slow down again.

Nijmegen: Newspaper
A journalist wrote a column about me in todays regional newspaper “De Gelderlander.” In the column he writes about me not being on facebook, twitter and me not watching farmers datingshows on tv. I was wondering: how does he know all of that?
Nijmegen: Rough
The recording is going very well. At the moment we have the rough outlines of the 8 tracks that will be on the album. Some are loud and obnoxious, others are ballads with little sounds, fieldrecordings, vocals and ofcourse cello. Tomorrow we’ll work on the detailed mixes, adding new sounds and make sure we’ll get … Read more
