Noord. connecting the dots.

The project started as an exploration of Rotterdam Noord translated into Sound and taste. Connecting the dots of geographical to personal pursuit by mixing field recordings into a carefully constructed soundscape, serving as a complementing backdrop for tasting foraged & locally sourced bites inspired by the local flavour, and morphed into a culinary reflection on the fragility of human relationships. Putting together a menu based on available & foraged produce, mixed with emotions, drawing inspiration from the neighbourhood itself.

Tracing a culinary map of places that carry significant personal meaning, this is a small imaginary walk through Rotterdam Noord. Field recordings made during the preparation of this project served as background accompanying our every taste

the route followed in sound is: Verfris Studio -  Boxing Huk-TTi - Ollie Cafe bar - Rotte River - Kralingse Boss - Rotterdamse Oogstmarkt - Jouw Marktkraam - Rotterdam-Noord - Verfris Studio

All the ingredients were from Rotterdam Noord, weather-picked from the garden, foraged from the Rotte, and purchased at Oogstmarkt, Sahan Bergweg or Toko Hoi Yun.
