"Rotterdam series Sounding Here and Eat Your Feelings will meet at Batavierhuis for an exciting exchange between artists and audience, connecting the worlds of food and music in a playful way. Each act will work closely with Alina (Eat Your Feelings) and Christine (Sounding Here) to be inspired by sound, location, and senses – we focus on creating for our audience a musical experience with a social twist. Each act will be presented differently in relation to the corresponding spaces in order to create a live music experience with a “tasteful” perspective!
Line-up:
Jurriaan de Kok
Jurriaan de Kok is a versatile bassist, double bassist, and composer with a broad musical
horizon and a distinctive artistic voice. As a performing musician, he moves effortlessly
between jazz, improvisation, pop, and cross-over projects. This constant shift between
genres, ensembles, and musical worlds forms an important source of inspiration in both his
playing and compositions.
As a composer, Jurriaan often creates atmospheric and narrative-driven music, in which
personal experiences, memories, and moments from everyday life serve as the guiding
thread. His compositions are marked by a cinematic sense of layering: intimate and
restrained when needed, yet also powerful, rhythmic, and compelling. During Sounding
Here, he presents a solo program featuring mainly original work, with the double bass taking
center stage as a storytelling and surprisingly versatile instrument.
Tarang Poddar (tabla) & Jelle Roosenberg (guitar)
Blurring the edges of jazz, improvisation and composition, guitarist Jelle Roosenburg and tabla player Tarang Poddar weave an ambient, shadow-tinted soundscape. They present original music that takes the listener on unexpected places, surprising you with their temporary refuge in spaces like fierce Indian Rhythms, Jazz improvisation, and songs also
reminiscent of Morrocon Folklore. Their dialogue – poised between chaos, order and mystery unfolds as a charged encounter, leaving the audience captivated and enthrilled of
this new sound."
