It Deel Ii
For 'IT DEEL II' the Kleefstra Bros have collaborated with the Norwegian duo Espen Reinertsen and Eivind Lonning (who also collaborate as duo Streifenjunko). Ten years ago the Kleefstra Bros saw Streifenjunko perform at Worm, Rotterdam (NL), and this always stuck in memory. This is why now for 'IT DEEL II' they got together. The music by Reinertsen and Lonning, with the use of wind instruments and electronics, is experimental, but open. It finds a way between improv, jazz and soundart. And like Jacaszek ('IT DEEL I') they work with field-recordings in their electro-acoustic music. Like the Kleefstra Bros, Reinertsen and Lonning are intrigued by forests, and for 'IT DEEL II' they brought field-recordings made in the forests surrounding Oslo. During the recording sessions as a quartet, they created a dialogue between the forest sounds from Oslo and the Frysian forests, and their instrumental improvisations.. The result you find on this LP is one of contemplation about how we treat our environment, our nature, and more specific our (local) forests. Limited to 300 copies.
