about

An adaptation of the original piece 'Tramlijn Begeerte' (1999) by Renadi Santoso which featured poetry by Jos Versteegen, in which the protagonist repeatedly views a skater who skates along the streetcar he's travelling in. Ever meeting, ever not-meeting.

By ommitting the poem, 'Streetcar' (tram) became 'Steamtrain'. Still the wild driver makes you occassionally loose your balance, but well, just enjoy the everchanging vistas!

Recorded throughout 2012-2016 at the Gamelanhuis and at Bangkirai Studios Amsterdam The Netherlands.
