For the first time since February we're back at our familiar spot in Rotterdam Noord; the fine Kapelzaal of Klooster Oude Noorden. Tonight's triple bill of electro-acoustic delicacies features Alex and George's brilliant Able Noise, the slow build-up musique concrète gubbins of Mark Smith (aka the Sunshine Lounge), and Linus B' electronica feast.
This is a 'reservation only' show.Please send a PM to our facebook account (Vrooom or Sandwich Island) or contact: info[at]sandwich-island[dot]com.


┆ABLE NOISE┆int'l
Able Noise is an experimental baritone guitar and drum duo, based between The Hague and Athens. Through the use of voices, tapes and alternative methods of playing their instruments, the duo create a somewhat minimal but really captivating performance. Taken as a whole, the feel of their sound reminds us of Chicago post-rock stalwarts Gastr del Sol, and that is no mean feat.

┆THE SUNSHINE LOUNGE┆sct/nl
The Glasgow born, Dutch resident Mark Smith is a music maker, radio DJ, concert promoter, and Jerry Sadowitz fan. His solo-project Sunshine Lounge plows a furrow between relaxation and lime cordial, elephants and violence, green and polkadots, Penelope Keith and chaos. In his live sets, Mark uses home made instruments, electromagnetic chunder and acoustic gubbins.

┆LINUS B┆roffa
Linus B is a producer, DJ and visual artist who finds his inspiration in the arbitrariness of daily life. Mending and bending recorded samples of the things around him, his music is an auditive feast, a celebration and happy estrangement of the everyday. There is room for tenderness, kitsch, and a bit of confusion.

4th instalment of the 'Koffie & Ambacht x Vrooom goes to church' series with four different live sets.
Dive into an Orphan Fairytale of auditory dreaminess, get entangled in Mayo's cassette tape salad and listen to the sounds of the historic Hess church organ, this time played by sound artist Bart van Dongen. Last but not least, Cengiz Arslanpay will reinterpret ancient Ottoman music in his soloset.

This is a 'reservation only' show... Please send an e-mail to the address above for confirmation, or reserve through Facebook. There will be no alcoholic drinks for sale, since this would require a permit for the type of event which are still prohibited from taking place.

┆MAYO (Matthias Hurtl & Yoana Buzova)┆roffa / at/bg
Mayo is Matthias Hurtl (AT/NL) and Yoana Buzova (BG/NL). Together they perform with a multitude of cassette players and electronics; cutting, pasting, touching, licking, pulling, stretching and scratching the tape loops which they feed to these devices. The duo layer the resulting raw sound material with noise into an uncanny, imaginary magnetic tape landscape. Matthias is a sound artist who specializes in so-called signal hunting - a kind of recording practice that utilizes handmade tools and antennas, with which he hunts for satellite transmission signals. He uses his findings in compositions and live performances. Yoana is an artist and educator who seeks to resist imposed structures, beliefs and technologies. In her artist practice she employs the idea of 'uselessness', low-tech, DIY methods, and repurposed material to engage an audience in temporary fictions.

┆ORPHAN FAIRYTALE┆be
Orphan Fairytale (Eva van Deuren) is a artist/musician from Antwerp who has been making waves with a variety of surprising music projects since the turn of the millennium. She has been playing drums with Maskesmachine, experimented with tape loops in an outfit named Eekhoorn X, and was involved in Antwerp's bastion for freeform radio, Radio Centraal. The development of her own creative multiverse, along with the realisation that she had her own story to tell, led to the emergence of Orphan Fairytale, Eva's current musical project. Using keyboards, harp, flutes, voice, samples of drums, toy instruments and found objects, she creates a playful realm of dissociated musical dreaminess. New release out on Ultra Eczema soon!

┆BART VAN DONGEN┆nl

Among other things, he has been the artistic director of Intro / In Situ in Maastricht (an organization for new music and sound art), and he managed the small-scale stage ARTuarium in Den Bosch. At this event, Bart will play the historic Hess church organ from 1784.

┆CENGIZ ARSLANPAY┆nl
Cengiz Arslanpay is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work is characterized by smooth transitions between contemporary and folkloric musical spheres. He mainly plays the Nay (or 'Ney'; an end-blown flute that figures prominently in Middle Eastern music) and electronic synthesizers, though he is also familiar with the practise of other kinds of instruments from the Middle East. At Vrooom x Koffie & Ambacht, Cengiz will reinterpret ancient Ottoman music.
