Splogman's offshore radio show Week 18 van dit project was in de vorm van een radio-uitzending gewijd aan het thema "de zee". Voor deze gelegenheid is hij nog één week lang te downloaden. In dit programma vroeg ik jullie om een eigen creatie op te sturen met als thema: water wind and sails, water wind en zeilen. Er kwamen zowaar reacties! Toen al deze composities binnen waren moest ik hier een pakkend voorwoord bij schrijven. Toen ik echter onderstaand verhaal las op de achterkant van De Rode Leeuw, actiekrant van het Zwols Conservatorium ArteZ, besefte ik dat de perfecte omschrijving van de filosofie achter dit project al bestond en dat ik alleen nog toestemming moest zien te krijgen van de 8-jarige Vera Broek van wiens hand het was. Na enig speurwerk kreeg ik via haar vader groen licht. Week 18 of 52 was a radio program with "the sea" as theme. For this occasion it's downloadable for one week again. At the end of this broadcast I asked you to send in your own sound creations on the theme: "Water, wind and sails" And some of you actually did! When all these pieces were in, I had to write a foreword, but when I read the story underneath in "De Rode Leeuw" (The Red Lion, action magazine of the music academy in Zwolle) I realised the perfect story about the philosophy behind this project already existed. After some research I got in touch with the father of the eight year old author Vera Broek, who told me the girls agreed on using it here. |
| De zes vissen In een land hier ver vandaan leefden eens zes vissen. Ze heten: Jip, Janneke, Tim, Pim, Jaguus & Jelle. Ze hadden twee baasjes Vera en Merel. Vera was acht jaar oud en Merel was vijftien. Ze zorgden goed voor de vissen. Op een dag gingen Vera en Merel samen met de vissen naar een onbewoond eiland, het eiland heette Zaandam van Sri-lanka. Toen ze daar aankwamen stond er een hele dikke olifant voor hun neus. Zijn slagtanden waren wel een méter lang!! De dikke olifant zei met een zware bromstem: hallo lk had jullie al verwacht. Op het eiland zagen ze ook een kameel rondlopen, de kameel is dom en zegt: ik zeg lekker niet waar de schat ligt! Nu heb je je verraden zegt Vera. Ja zei Jip, je hebt je verraden. Jaaa! roepen de andere vissen in koor. Dan gaat Vera naar de zee toe en ziet Daar een práchtige zeemeermin, haar naam is Fiësta. Toen Vera Fiësta zag toen dook de zeemeermin onder. Vera begon met haar gouden stem te zingen en de zeemeermin kwam langzaam naar haar toe ... Wat zing jij schitterend, zei Fiësta. Kun jij mij vertellen waar de schat ligt? vraagt Vera aan de mooie zeemeermin. Want de domme kameel zegt toch niks. Ja zegt Fiësta hoe dan? Hier verderop staat een kar met sterke drank. De kameel houdt erg van zout water. Dus doe zout water in een kom met de sterke drank er in dan is de kameel zo dronken als wat. Vera roept Merel erbij en samen doen ze het zoute water in de kom met de sterke drank erbij. Al snel komt de kameel er nieuwsgierig naar toe en drinkt het op. Als de kameel het op heeft zegt het: Aaahh lk ga jullie lekker tóch niet vertellen dat de schat daar bij de tweede rots links ligt !! Hahaaaaa !!! maar Vera en Merel weten nu dat de schat bij de tweede rots links ligt. Ze gaan er snel naartoe en beginnen te graven met een schep die ze hebben meegenomen, Vis Jelle helpt ijverig mee. Janneke zegt bezorgt: zal ik even meehelpen? Ja graag zegt Jelle. Als ze eindelijk de schat hebben gevonden zit er een slot omheen! Vera gaat naar zeemeermin Fiësta om raad te vragen. Zeemeermin Fiësta zegt een korte maar krachtige spreuk, waarna het slot soepel open glijdt. Dankjewel roept Vera enthousiast. En Merel en de zes vissen zijn allemaal érg blij en verrukt. Als ze in de schatkist kijken zien ze tot hun uiterste verbazing dat er een skelet van een kind in ligt?! En verder alleen maar geld...! En weet je wat er óók in ligt? De gouden kroon die van de koning was gestolen!! Poeh poeh! Dat is dus nog eens een vondst! Merel belt meteen naar Nederland om te vertellen wat ze hebben gevonden, maar ze geloven het niet! De mensen in Nederland sturen een straaljager naar het onbewoonde eiland Zaandam van Srilanka. Daar aangekomen ziet men dat Merel toch de waarheid sprak! Vanaf nu zijn Merel, Vera en de zes vissen de helden van het heelal!!! En ze leefden nog lang en gelukkig. Dit verhaal is geschreven door: Vera en Merel, 17 juli 2004 |
The six fishes In a country far away from here once lived six fishes. They are called: Jip, Janneke, Tim, Pim, Jaguus & Jelle. They had two little bosses: Vera and Merel. Vera was eight years old and Merel was fifteen. They looked after the fish well. One day Vera, Merel and the fishes went to an uninhabited island, the island was called Zaandam of Sri-lanka. When they arrived there was a very fat elephant in front of them. His tusks were at least one meter long!! And the fat elephant said with a heavy low voice: hello I've been expecting you. On the island they saw a camel walking around too, the camel is stupid and says: I won't tell you where the treasure lies! Now have you betrayed yourself, says Vera. Yes, Jip said, you have betrayed yourself. Yesssss! the other fishes replied in one voice. Then Vera strolled to the sea and saw a beautifull mermaid, her name is Fiësta. When Vera saw Fiësta the mermaid took a dive to hide herself. Vera started singing with her golden voice and the mermaid came closer slowly... Your singing is wonderfull, said Fiësta. Can you tell me where the treasure lies? Vera asks the beautiful mermaid, because the stupid camel won't say nothing at all. Yes, Fiësta says. How then? A bit further on is a cart with spirits. The camel loves salt water. So put salt water in a bowl with the spirits and then the camel will become drunk. Vera calls Merel and they put salt water in the bowl with spirits. The camel comes rapidly and curiously and drinks the whole lot. When the camel is finished it says: Aaahh I'm surely not going to tell you that the treasure lies at the second rock on the left overthere!! Hahaaaaa!!! But now Vera and Merel know that the treasure lies at the second rock on the left. They go there quickly and start to dig with a scoop which they have taken along, fish Jelle helps with diligence. Janneke says: shall I help as well? Jelle says: yes, gladly. When at last they've found the treasure there's a lock around it! Vera asks mermaid Fiësta for advice. Mermaid Fiësta speaks a short but powerful spell, whereupon the lock slides open smoothly. Thank you, Vera shouts enthusiastically. And Merel and the six fish all are very delighted and glad. When they look inside the treasure they see to their extreme stupefaction that there's a skeleton of a child in it?! And furthermore only money...! And you know what else? The golden crown which had been stolen from the king!! Well well! Talking about findings! Merel immediately phones to the Netherlands to tell what they have found, but they do not believe it! People in the Netherlands send a jet fighter to the uninhabited island Zaandam of Srilanka. When arrived they see nevertheless that Merel has spoken the truth! From now on Merel, Vera and the six fishes are the heroes of the universe!!! and they lived long and happily ever after. This tale has been written by: Vera and Merel, July 17 2004 |

He plans on becoming an actor. What you hear is one episode of "The family", a series of plays featuring caricatures of people JJ really knows. In this part Grandpa tries to introduce everybody and explain to the listener that they're on a boat in heavy weather, but he can hardly make himself heard because of the wind and rain. Then "Little" decides to turn on some music which makes grandpa so angry that eventually everybody is thrown over board. When the boat hits an oil-tanker Little's alarm clock goes off and he steps out of bed to take a shower, because Grandpa and he are going for a ride in grandpa's new car today ... JJ appeared on Splogman's world before with the first composition he ever recorded: Dreamer. An overview of JJ's work sofar will soon be released by WM recordings. |

08. Lanark - Aguas en espiral Lanark's motto is: All of we are fragments, and of a so diverse texture, that each piece plays, on every moment, its own game. (Michel de Montaigne) Lanark's music behavior is similar. Each piece of sound makes a play on itself. Each has its own personality, which combines in an heterogeneous composition, that working as an unity, may be vastly different of the materials that conform it.

Polar Icecaps is published by White Skull Music, bmi, and was written by Hermanson/Skidmore. SKIDHERMANSONMORE is just another way the, not-a-band, partnership of Dennis Hermanson and Richard Skidmore could be represented in print. Polar Icecaps was recorded @ Do Studio on the island of Martha's Vineyard in nearly complete darkness, like a Norwegian winter's day, and is an imagined excursion with authentic northern chill. |

11. The Sewing Circle - Three little Fishies vocals by Marylin Rondy (R.I.P.) "The Sewing Circle is 2 guys: Chase & Preston (they're cousins). All songs are recorded in Preston's bedroom. Studio time is a big waste of money. As for Three Little Fishies, is actually one of our favourite tracks, and holds a tremendous amount of sentimental value to both of us. Marylin Rondy was our late grandmother. She passed away summer 2003. We were very fond of her - she had an unbeatable spirit and a lively sense of humor (Her bouncy vocal inflections throughout the track are evidence of this). We cannot, however, attach a specific date to this track -our guess would be somewhere between 1999 and 2001. Regardless, however, we would be sincerely honored if you were to use the song in the project." Download a complete album by The Sewing Circle's here at bedroombrain records |

12. DJ Harsman - Oerdvlieg In may 2003 DJ Harsman was invited by Timo Mank as artist in residence at galery Dit Eiland, in Hollum, on the Dutch island Ameland. Between may 15 and may 22, 2003, he roamed the island, by bus, on foot and on bicycle, collecting, with a dictaphone and MD, the sounds of Ameland. (...) DJ Harsman composed "Oerdvlieg" using 5 island recordings made on Monday may 19th, 2003, on the eastern part of Ameland. He rehearsed it a couple of times, to get the timing and layering right. He then recorded it onto hard disk, in one single take, without overdubs. For the complete story with links click here |

 | 16. Ton Rückert - Walvis in de sterrenzee (Whale in a sea of stars)
Ton is our man in Venlo, The Netherlands. Amongst other things he did some gigs as a blues singer in the seventies. The flute is the only instrument he has seriously studied for 5 or 6 years, but illness got in the way and nothing happened musically until the early nineties when the synth arrived on the scene, and the drum machine and the sampler and the computer and so that's where he's still now, occasionally recording something or doing some sort of collage. Ton curated week 34 of 52 weeks More music by Ton Rückert on Interplanetary Materials, The Oddio Celebration and Comfort Cake |
