Time: 20.30 hrs.
Jan Kleefstra writes `fragments` about the land between lakes and near the sea, and because words about land and water are vulnerable, especially when the relationship with them is fragile, he doesn`t want the words to hit the ground and be trampled down by people after the pen leaves the paper. So, after various chance encounters , the releases of the `Piiptsjilling` and `Wink` CDs along with Romke Kleefstra, Machinefabriek, Soccer Committee and Chris Bakker, and countless cups of overpriced coffee, Jan, Romke and Gareth Davis converged in a converted barn due north east of Sneek on a cold, frozen Thursday, February 2009 and produced an album of stacked drones, clashing backgrounds in free jazz and academia over broken texts, amplifier hiss and distorted reeds.
