After a 5-day tour in December 2020 with Bhajan Bhoy, Kohhei Matsuda, Nora Mulder, Arvind Ganga and Mees Siderius I was determined to record some freaky weird stuff. And so I did. I recorded this 25 minute long experimental piece in my own Hunker Bunker Studio in Haren. With instruments like - for example - the pedal steel, banjo and I aslso used a phaser pedal that I got as a present from my friend Peter v/d Weij. Time passed and the recorded track moved to the background. Well, actually sometimes I listened to it while I was laying on a bed of nails (Shakti mat).
Although at some point in September 2021 my extremely talented rOtring pencil cousin Erik Stokker (ArtbyEst) asked me for suitable music to support his amazing art-movie. Instead of composing for him I was mostly busy composing a homage for the late Michael Chapman, so I sent Erik the "December 2020" recording. He listened to it and without any hesitations he was certain to use it for his art movie.
I am honestly very proud of my cousin Erik Stokker for what someone can do with zillions of dots.
Watch the art-movie here and enjoy:

(Bandcamp doesn't support movies over 15 minutes)
Please buy the track if you want to have the music in your digital collection. It might be a nice combi with the Shakti Mat as well! ;)
Thank you!
