Martine de Kok (Belgium) is a multi-talent: pianist, singer-song writer, visual artist and novelist. During her residency she was finishing a book she started on in her previous residency. A children’s book that talks about the phenomenon of time. A lot of birds, with a robin in the leading role, go deep into the forest to find time, even although none of them knows how time looks like and each have a different expectation.
At her artist talk Martine read the synopsis and followed by slide show with the drawings that will illustrate the book. During the slide show she did a beautiful jazzy improvisation on the piano. On the last day of her residency Martine mailed her draft to the most renown publisher for children’s book in Belgium and the day after she got her invitation to discuss publication. Our artist-friend Antonio Tavares (Portugal) is currently caring for the house. He took the opportunity to invite art-and nature lovers for a one-day workshop in which two painting sessions are combined with a nature walk and a super healthy lunch. His first students were excited.
Stefano Falcone, jazz pianist from Naples, Italy, had a residency with us in 2021. He composed a series of beautiful works, all dedicated to OBRAS. They were first brought to stage on the piano festival of Lecce, Italy in September 2022, and later published on SoundCloud. A beautiful teaser is on YouTube (see below). It gives a sample of his music, but also indicates how his music inspired fellow residents. A CD entitled OBRAS is released (www.worklabel.it) and distributed (www.IRD.it). The CD includes a flyer with texts by several residents. The CD cover was designed by Tim Gleason.
