Unnoted Sessions

After more than a year of jam sessions we finally hit the 100 jams marker! In a chaotic session with all kinds of technical problems we stumbled over the magic marker in a rather uninspiring jam. The three preceding jams had very good potential, with strong vocals from Caroline Luik, but due to all kinds of statics the end result leaves a bit to be desired. In the end we were able to fix our problems, but somehome the juice run out…

The Urban Action festival was an interesting experience, jamming on top of huge containers with probably no one to be found below, when watching the artists at hand. The video shows a part from the 3 star-rated jam#092. Be sure to check out 5 star jam#093 from the same day. Thanks Caroline, Micha and HJ for joining us and Kim for filming & taking pictures.

Unnoted Session will be performing at the Urban Action Festival. 08 sep 2007, 15:00 & 20:00, NDSM area, Amsterdam, live performances with guest artists Caroline Luik [vocals], Micha Jurys [drums] and multi-instrumentalist HJ [guitar].

We decided to record the latest studio session using a mobile phone. As it was hard to judge the correct camera angle, the result turned out to be far better than expected, showing the session as an almost surreal painting. The video shows the creation of jam#084 and #085 which afterwards are valued at 3 stars.

Unnoted Session will be performing at the Open Day 2007 of the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. The Open Day will be held on friday 26th of January 2007.

Unnoted Session will be performing at the examination exhibition of Dogtime IV at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy.

A monster project was it going to be, recording a live session with 4 different cameras, including a 16mm one, and integrating them afterwards via blue screen effects. The whole session almost stranded before we even started as the low E string of Luciano’s bass guitar broke, so he had to improvise with just 3 strings.

Fortunately the 4 stars-rated jam#071 did go rather well, even though the stress factor was sky high. Thanks Caroline for yet again strong vocals and thanks to the camera crews. This little movie is the result of pasting together all the movies that Sander Veenhof shot with his mobile phone. Unnoted Sessions is still dreaming of the real thing…

As part of the opening of the Stedelijk Museum CS RadioRietveld project Unnoted Sessions performed live and quiet on stage. People couldn’t hear the performance unless they used the headphones lying on stage that were connected to the sound installation. Check out jam#064 to hear what is being played in the video.
