PORTFOLIO

Lately I have been working on my portfolio since it really needs an update! Although I actually was planning on creating shirts from the fabric I showed you in my last post, I decided to first finish the portfolio. Somehow this happens every time; I start a new project but then all of a sudden I am reminded by one of the other projects waiting to be finished and decide to switch. Eventually this results in many unfinished projects, sometimes it is overwhelmingly annoying but then again I am happy to never be bored!

While working on the portfolio I listened to these CDs (Unknown Mortal Orchestra - II and Patrick Watson - Wooden Arms) that I bought the other day. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but I still like to buy CDs, it gives a nice feeling to hold the CD in my hands and to browse through the little booklet that comes with it. Moreover I like to have a physical library of the music that I love.

SONGBIRDFESTIVAL

Last weekend I went to the Songbirdfestival together with my brother in Rotterdam. The festival had a great line-up full of very good singer-songwriters. My brother and I had the perfect evening!

Newcomer Douwe Bob (Dutch singersongwriter) sang beautiful ‘country-ish’ songs.

I had not heard of Justin Nozuka before, but I love his voice. His songs have a pleasant dreamy ambiance.

My brother and I especially came for Lianne La Havas. We are intrigued by the stories she tells in her songs. Her concert was great, she sang beautiful and she’s such a nice and charismatic girl!

Unfortunately we could only see the last fifteen minutes of Michael Kiwanuka’s concert and we were at the far back of the music hall. Anyhow, the songs he played were even better than the record! I would have loved to see his concert up close..

Hope you’ve had a nice weekend as well!
