Johnny van Doorn Text, Joske Koning voice,
Jasper Stadhouders guitar and Marcos Baggiani drums
Improvisation trio The Selfkickers was born from an electrifying fascination with poet Johnny van Doorn. The driving force behind this project is Joske Koning, actress and vocalist, who in a previous formation gave theatrical-musical performances of Johnny’s poems.
The name The Selfkickers comes from one of Johnny’s nicknames, “The Selfkicker.” Playfully, it evokes references to adrenaline-fueled kicks on “the self,” the experience of an intense moment, and an unpredictably leaping frog. The Selfkickers is plural, and thus a contradiction in itself: kicking on the self as a collective manifestation.
Terms and Conditions
"Joske Koning delivers a selection of the wild and transcendental poetry of Johnny "the Selfkicker" van Doorn , joined by two exceptional improvisers: drummer Marcos Baggiani and guitarist Jasper Stadhouders. Together, their daring interplay dissolves boundaries between words and sound, shaping a raw and electrifying artistic encounter.
Van Doorn's poetry lends itself extremely well to improvised music because of its almost hallucinogenic surrender to language which abandons all linear logic."
