// diversity

By Petra Peterffy

Unchosen album title. But the idea behind it will stay. So it’s going to be about inclusion, inclusive production. Questioning the separation from stage and floor, virtually and literally. Later on this here and elsewhere.

Due to permanent urgency: Let’s talk about poilitics and vegetables again.

Thanksgiving, saffron crocus. You blossom in autumn, are green during winter and you dry out in spring. You grow on my balcony. Thanks for your pistils. Would you like to become my godplant?

Tiger in the morning
Eat raw meat
Because he can’t cook

Because, because
Because, because
Because, because

Contemplation kill causes

I am the elephant in the room
Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom
I am the elephant in the room

I am the elephant in the room
Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom
I am the elephant in the room

Let’s think of another way
To leave or to stay
To love and to pray
[repeat 4 to 6 times]

. . . [intermezzo] . . .

I think it is ok
To stay or to leave
To give and to receive
[repeat]

I am the elephant in the room
Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom
I am the elephant in the room

I am the elephant in the room
Boom boom, boom boom, boom boom boom
I am the elephant in the room

In the following track I worked with a bunch of techniques I will apply in the inclusive ausiovisual installation REMBRANDT, IS IT ME. The track is part of the research. Later more on this project.

Fatima and me are going to present a new Lump200 duo program on September 22 in Amsterdam. Please click on the image to get more details. Our showtime will be 10 p.m. Drop by or send your spies.

On my way from Brussels to Amsterdam I have the chance to visit Hallerbos Woods. Surrounded by a highway there are these fields of Hyacinthoides, a kind of Asparagus. They are in full blossom these days. Look.

In Amsterdam I meet bass mate Alex Schaub who has become a specialist in digital fabrication. We haven’t met for about a decade. One of the labs Alex has built up is to be found in The Waag – the place where the scene for Rembrandt’s „The Anatomy Lesson of Dr. Tulp“ took place. I get a personal tour through this historical building equipped with digital production gear. Thanks Alex. I feel that this is a place where time bends.

The third place of my research tour is the north sea. I study the flat, work on some song texts, the peaceful atmosphere allows me to consolidate certain ideas and thoughts.
