LP debut of the Dutch vocalist Janneke van der Putten. Her voice emerges from deeper grounds, shaping the acoustic aura of architectural and natural spaces, exploring the limits of vocal techniques through site-specific performances. Becoming siren, becoming storm, a rose of resonance for a new world.

“Janneke van der Putten is a Dutch artist known in these areas for her affiliation with the movement articulated by the Aloardi label, with whom she created projects such as the Aloardí Peruvian New Music & Arts Festival based in Rotterdam. Throughout her visits to different regions of the planet, she has developed a career in visual arts, and in something that we could classify as vocal sound art.

“JNNK” is her debut album released by Idraola, her platform, and Aloardí. In the 4 pieces with a marked esoteric and even animist timbre, the tulip displays, like a jaguar turned into a feathered wolf, gestures and calls that go directly to the sapiens’ cave-dwelling reptilian brain; transgressing the accumulation of 24/7 post-digital trinkets with which we are programmed daily.

It is not unreasonable to classify this work as SOUND PORNOGRAPHY. The crudeness and brutal subtle energy – what an oxymoron! – that it gives off openly and without any intellectual processing involved, allows for such a metaphor. “Voice and Space (featuring backing vocals by Anaïs Barbier)” and “Attacked and over-tuned” are perhaps the most hilarious moments, not only captivating, of this slice. An LP destined to become a classic of international experimental music from today.

What would it be like to desecrate a cave of virgins and ancient jellyfish? Janneke van der Putten has the answer.
