Evelien van den Broek: FALSE MEMORIES I Clearly Recall Being Able To Breathe Under Water As A Child Avant-garde popsongs about memories of events that have never occurred. Go astray in the maze of memory. In False Memories composer and singer Evelien van den Broek explores the wander roads of our untrustworthy recollections. She’s gathered a colorful ensemble with keyboardist Tony Roe, Koen Kaptijn on trombone, drummer/ electronics wizard Richard van Kruysdijk and visual artist Marcel Wierckx. False Memories consists of songs on the cutting edge of experimental pop, electronics and modern classical. Somewhere between the experimental pop of Portishead, and the folk fantasies of Kurt Weill. Van den Broek was inspired by the collection of texts from The False Memory Archive of the British artist A.R. Hopwood. An archive consisting of anonymously submitted memories of events that never occurred. "I clearly recall being able to breathe under water as a child" isn’t even the strangest memory from the rich collection. "I remember running out of the hospital as a newborn baby," and "I remember very vividly, as a child, swiping my finger on a matchbox and my finger setting fire”. Songs built around a doubt, humor, recognition and moments of touching beauty, with exciting interactive video projections when performed live. Evelien van den Broek is a composer, performer and singer-songwriter from Amsterdam. Under the name KUrKKU she makes songs with solo voice, Wii game controllers, electronics and a five-speaker system. She is a member of the indietronica trio Daisy Bell.
