The second publication in this series on Doek RAW is composed by pianist Kaja Draksler. She wrote a piece called Passage. When we asked her to write a short text to accompany her composition, she created a poem by combining definitions from the Cambridge dictionary.
Passage A way of escape. The passage of time- the process of time going past. A hollow part of the body through which something goes. A short piece of writing or music that is part of a larger piece. A journey (especially over the sea). An act of moving through somewhere. A connecting way. The right to travel or leave a place. --The definitions are from the Cambridge Online Dictionary |
Initiative of releasing a series of albums on Doek RAW over the coming months. The idea is simple: each member of Doek composes a piece to be performed solo by every other member of the collective (that feels like recording it...).
First up is a composition by Eric Boeren based on language, specifically a dialect he heard while biking through Enkhuizen in the Netherlands. This album features performances from Ada Rave, Marta Warelis, Michael Moore, John Dikeman, Jasper Stadhouders, Oscar Jan Hoogland, Kaja Draksler and Eric himself. |
