Unnoted Sessions

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.

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.

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.
