CINEMA PERDU
“Vlakverdeling”

During my regular trips to the Dutch province of Friesland I became more and more aware of the strict demarcations in the Dutch landscape. Each time I travelled up and down the polder, the atmosphere of the landscape changed. These changes of atmosphere where not only influenced by natural phenomena like the weather and light but even much so through human presence reflected in the clear lines which define the landscape. While listening to the field recordings I made on various occasions and at various locations, the sounds started to translate into their own abstract form of the landscape. While transforming these abstract forms and colours into new sounds, a new imaginary landscape appeared in my mind, translated into a new composition: Vlakverdeling – Martijn Pieck /Cinema Perdu, June 2020.
