Four Tracks Recorded In 2016 ('RRR' Ed...

Biography

Visual artist Mees Joachim has published music under a variety of monikers, such as Absolute Candor, Pink Boah, Zalmroze, Nick Nicole pt​.​II / Nicolette Nixon, (DJ) Joachim Stiller, General Filth, All Solid Matter Resists, Defiantly Hardcore, Jan-Peter de Wit and amalgamations thereof (Absolutely Stiller Resists, etc.). More often than not as the sole proprietor of such a project, though on occasion in collaboration with other musicians and groups (Jerboah, 陈依依, Mx Fomay, etc.). Each project is a creature in it's own right and musically and thematically diverse. The one common thread among these projects is the almost obsessive need to create something new, something experimental and something unheard. Finding new sounds in old sounds, with a preference for things bordering on ugly. Detuned guitars battling with the sharp tones of synths... There's never a dull moment. October 2023 saw release of Four Tracks Recorded In 2016 - 'RRR' Edition, which was their first time releasing something under their own name, together with 陈依依. This EP was meant as a way of processing their recent breakups at the time of making (2016) and was presented as an autonomous artwork during their studies at Gerrit Rietveld Academy. Lyrically the tracks deal with feelings of anxiety, loneliness, being a stranger in a new country and not feeling safe or at home.
