Sanem Kalfa, (voc, cello), Lucija Gregov (cellos), Alice de Maio and Kelly Bigirindavyi (dance) presented the very personal exploration of their 3-days residency at Wibbine Kien’s Driebergen Farm on the rural outskirts of Rotterdam – A closeness experience of open throws and hitting arrows.

 
 


 
 

Here only a few pictures of many sequences of gripping movements of bodies, voices, strings, eyes and souls in high directness.

 
 


 
 
 

Apropos closeness … an album with duets of Charlie Haden comes to mind, released 1976. It’s duos with Ornette Coleman, Keith Jarrett, Alice Coltrane and Paul Motian, an early (unforgettable) school of listening. Simply a cross-sectional association.

    A release from Michael Cuscuna“s HORIZON label. Some excellent albums there in the first years, nice gatefold covers, excellent production ECM-style, and CLOSENESS a milestone for sure. Every duo a „killer“, and one with gunfire, literally.

    I have never heard of that album. The first duet with Keith Jarrett sounds great, not to say awesome! Thanks a lot!
