PIIPTSJILLING : FIIF

2017

CD; 1 p. ; 1 CD ill

CD met muziek op basis van de teksten van de Nederlandse dichter Jan Kleefstra. - Piiptsjilling consists of Jan & Romke Kleefstra (Alvaret Ensemble, Kleefstra|Bakker|Kleefstra, etc.), Mariska Baars (soccer Commitee) and Rutger Zuydervelt (Machinefabriek). They combine poetry with vocals, guitars and electronics. Whether in the studio or live, they always improvise. Without much discussion, they just start, and the music magically pours out, sometimes ethereally beautiful and at other times abstract and noisy. Jan Kleefstra’s poems are in Frisian, a language most listeners won’t literally understand, but can just as well be experienced on a musical level, adding a sense of mysterious melancholy to the music. ‘Fiif’ doesn’t so much mark a new chapter for the band, but rather an organic progression of their sound.
