As the sun sets on this spring Sunday, two albums see the evening light for the first time. For this listening party, TivoliVredenburg is transformed into a cocoon: benches, beanbags, and multiple speakers surrounding the audience (bring your own cushion!). After a brief introduction on how the albums were made and the layers the music is composed of, each album is played in its entirety.

Tom Broshuis — Gojo

Inspired by a solo trip through Japan in 2020, Tom began working on his second solo album during the coronavirus period. While his debut bid farewell to his youth in Groenlo, *Gojo* centers on personal growth — and an ode to spring. Instrumental ambient and post-rock with an earthy, lo-fi sound, put together in his studio in the woods.

Pim Salto — Rainbowie

The album is meant to be a celebration of peace, security, art, crafting, and fun. With this sentence, and a head full of imaginary space travel and fantasies of world peace, Pim began making Rainbowie a few years ago. Song structures that dissolve into rhythmless rivers. Soundscapes that leap into form, and then let go again.

Tom Broshuis and Pim Salto grew up in the Achterhoek, where they found each other through a shared love for ambient and post-rock. In 2010, they won the national final of Kunstbende with their first band. They sought each other out again on their new solo records. Thus, alongside the releases of their albums this evening, they are also celebrating eighteen years of musical friendship.
