Somebody Called Me Sebastiaan en STROOM
@Ssimoens
Leuven, Belgium
Sometimes longing for that which is “different” might be so intense,
that you put everything aside and leave.
That’s exactly what Sebastiaan did: he left and went on a journey.
Without a plan, and a guitar on his back. Nine months, many questions and one clear answer later, he returned home. With a cartload of songs, images and inspiration:
'If your dreams don't scare you,
they are not big enough'
Thank you Ellen Johnson Sirleaf
The album became an extension of this journey. In order to reflect the purity of his intention, all recordings were done by Sebastiaan Simoens himself. In his attic he used everything available to him: his guitar and voice as building blocks, refined with the floor as a kick, a stool as a snare, percussion instruments from his childhood,…
It took a while, but after six years it’s finally here.
