I was invited by Emma Evelein to participate in her Rooftop session curated by ISH. For one evening during the spring of 2021 we created a short film on the roof of a parking garage attached to the RAI convention center in Amsterdam. Emma was inspired by the work I made previously for Dalton titled "Afstand" and requested me to rework this for her concept. Since the original work was made with samples from Sophie Prins I decided to invite her to the session to improvise together with me.
Inspired by the night on the roof I took the hours of recorded material into the studio and arranged it into a fitting composition. Embracing the thematics of the piece I added my own lyrics and vocals as a glue for the composition. Now titled "Afstand 2" this piece has proven itself to be a fruitful collaboration of multiple disciplines.
