Oscar Jan Hoogland plays Angels’ Share
This Saturday afternoon, August 16, we have Oscar Jan Hoogland performing mobile piano at Westerpark as part of the ongoing Herbert Nouwens sculpture exhibition. Oscar is known for his ability to turn one of the most stationary instruments in western music into something surprisingly portable, as can be witnessed in his Bakfietsband (which will be playing the closing event for the exhibition). How he will deal with this challenge, we don’t know… But it’s sure to be highly inventive musically and logistically and how often do those two coincide?…
This Saturday 23 August, Wilbert de Joode will be performing solo in Westerpark as part of the series of musical performances interacting with the excellent sculpture exhibition of Herbert Nouwens’ – Angels’ Share. If you’ve been following these performances you’ve seen everything from Available Jelly performing their repertoire with guest bass saxophonist Jan Klare, pianist Oscar Jan Hoogland dropping a piano on the concrete (I believe it’s still there) and hacking away at its innards with forks and numb-chucks, to Michael Vatcher enticing his audience to play along with numerous bits of percussion thrown here and there or even a completely soaked John Dikeman squealing on his mouthpiece while biking through the park for an audience of no-one (I guess you didn’t see that one).…
