A World In-Between<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some artists simply defy categorization, yet would make for a fascinating Venn diagram. In this case, imagine overlapping circles with labels like poetry<\/em>, classical<\/em>, pop<\/em>, and spoken word<\/em> \u2014 but also electronics<\/em>, drum machines<\/em>, and philosophy<\/em>. Is there a common thread running through all of these? Absolutely. At the center of the circle, you\u2019ll find cellist Saartje van Camp, who weaves all these disciplines into something entirely her own \u2014 something that, surprisingly, just works<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earlier this year, Van Camp \u2014 long-time musical partner of Spinvis \u2014 released a solo album that is delightfully strange in all the right ways. Sometimes she speak-sings in irresistibly lilting Flemish or French, sometimes she unleashes her full vocal range, turning her voice into an instrument within a mysterious musical framework. She most certainly brings us hope. Take her single \u201cDe hand van de dokter\u201d<\/em>, for instance, where the phrase \u201cit will be fine, it is fine, it will be fine, it is fine\u201d<\/em> returns like a hymn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Live, Van Camp is joined by the equally and unfairly talented multi-instrumentalists Dizzi Geetha (drummer, percussionist & theatre maker) and Judith Rijsenbrij (keyboardist and vocalist). Together, they create a world in between everything \u2014 the kind of place you\u2019d instantly want to call home.<\/p>\n\n\n
