about

The Fugue De kop van Schouwen (the head of Schouwen) is a soundscape made of a range of sounds that where recorded in the region Westenschouwen, Zeeland. The soundscape was created on request by Literary Café De Geestgronden (this beautifully alliterating Dutch word refers to the sandy soil between the dunes and the polder). It premiered on April 14th 2022 during the opening night of the literary café that was held in the former flower bulb-shed in Burgh-Haamstede.

The following sound recordings were used:
• A selection of catchwords that have been recorded by random people in the street in Dutch, German and English
• Drifting sands recorded during storm Corrie, Brouwersdam
• North sea recorded during storm Corrie, the tip of Westenschouwen
• Pine trees in the wind, forestry Westenschouwen
• Nightingale, forestry Westenschouwen
• Cars on the N57, Westenschouwen
• The marina, Burghsluis
• Tourists in the street, Renesse and Burgh-Haamstede
• Cash registry sounds from the local supermarket, Burgh
• Working horses from Zeeland, recorded during Strao, a spring festival where horses get to wash their feet in the sea after a winter inside, Noordwelle
