BIMHUIS Records presents BIM 014: Yoràn Vroom - REFLEX: A Forgotten Story...
REFLEX is a series of BIMHUIS Productions in which we have invited artists to reflect on the current zeitgeist in new work. We present the live recordings on BIMHUIS Records.
In June 2022, we invited Yoràn Vroom as the second artist to create work for REFLEX. The virtuoso drummer gathered family and friends to reflect on the 'covid years'. “Like a history student from the next century, who is solely dependent on the sources left behind”. Together with multiple percussionists and two dancers, Vroom explored themes of repetition, hope and limitation.
Produced by Dennis Letnom.
Recorded live at BIMHUIS on June 17th, 2022 by Teike Baden, Philip ten Brink, Dennis Letnom, Joram Pinxteren, Onno Prillwitz & Jurre Wieman.

Mastered by Darius van Helfteren at Amsterdam Mastering.
