Season 2 - Episode 8 - Away

October 17, 2023 22:00 - 15 minutes - 229 MB

They say ‘home is where the wifi is’. However, missing your family and not feeling grounded are things that artists know all about. What does family life look like when you’re travelling the world? How do you stay in touch and if you ever feel lonely, what kind of music do you listen to to remind you of home? Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting. In this series, you get to know the people behind the music, the stories behind the tracks, the musicians who play at our festival. From ...

Season 2 - Episode 7 - Luggage

October 03, 2023 22:00 - 8 minutes - 135 MB

A big part of a musician’s life is spent travelling, living out of a suitcase for weeks, or sometimes months at a time. Some of them experience packing as a total hassle, while others have elevated it to an artform. Music Meeting would like to know: aside from the essentials like computers, chargers and of course their instruments, what is the one special item that they just can’t leave without? Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting. In this series, you get to know the people behind...

Season 2 - Episode 6 - Home

September 19, 2023 22:00 - 10 minutes - 164 MB

How do you maintain a sense of home when you’re on the road? Musicians go where the music takes them. It can be hard to feel at home when you change cities every day, moving from hotel room to hotel room. But little traditions might help some artists with settling into a new place. Music Meeting asks them: ‘what does home mean to you and are there any traditions that make you feel closer to it?’. Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting. In this series, you get to know the people behin...

Season 2 - Episode 5 - Passenger

September 05, 2023 22:00 - 13 minutes - 204 MB

Spending many hours in transit, running low on proper sleep and choosing means of travel and accommodation based on budget, not many artists have ever been in a position to travel first class for five hours sitting next to the passenger of their dreams. But sometimes, it’s nice to just let our fantasy run wild. We wondered, what if they could? Who would it be, what would they talk about? Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting. In this series, you get to know the people behind the mus...

Season 2 - Episode 4 - Delights

August 22, 2023 22:00 - 11 minutes - 167 MB

One of the many perks of going on tour is the opportunity for artists to discover new cultures. Local music and art, but also different languages, customs and traditions. Touring can also make the most mundane act of eating into a memorable experience. A big part of travelling the world happens while going from plate to plate. Music Meeting asks the artists: ‘Tell us about the most amazing food experience you’ve had in a country you were visiting. Where and what was it?’ Music MeetUp is a p...

Season 2 - Episode 3 - Spark

June 28, 2023 12:09 - 20 minutes - 309 MB

Our purpose in life. Some were born knowing it, some actively search for it their whole lives, others stumble upon it by accident. And while many would be hard-pressed to describe it, remembering the spark that started it all is usually easier. A family tradition, meeting an idol or following a spiritual belief, these musicians tell you how it all started and what has, or hasn’t changed since their passion for music was sparked and how it’s developed since.   Music MeetUp is a production by...

Season 2 - Episode 2 - Encounter

June 13, 2023 22:00 - 15 minutes - 240 MB

Apart from maneuvering border crossings, administrative paperwork, coping with jet lag and many other logistical issues, life on tour first and foremost provides fertile grounds for interacting with other people. People who the artists have never met before, or will never meet again. This leads to beautiful, funny or intriguing encounters, from strangers who offer help when an instrument trolley breaks to a random encounter with Paul McCartney. Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting....

Season 2 - Episode 1 - Change

May 22, 2023 13:37 - 18 minutes - 285 MB

Faced with radical changes in the world in the last few years, many artists had to or wanted to reflect on their music, question their role in the world, or re-invent themselves. Inspired by the writings of James Baldwin that “nothing is fixed” (pause) “the earth is always shifting, the light is always changing”, Music Meeting asks the artists ‘what does change mean to you?’ Music MeetUp is a production by Music Meeting. In this series, you get to know the people behind the music, the stori...

Aflevering 1 - Ramón Valle & Reinier Baas

May 21, 2020 12:46 - 54 minutes - 125 MB

De van oorsprong Cubaanse pianist Ramón Valle is Cubaan emigreerde naar Nederland vanwege de vrijzinnige jazzscene. In zijn impressionistische spel vloeien Latin, klassiek en jazz rimpelloos in elkaar over. Vloeiend is ook het gitaarspel van Reinier Baas – niet gladjes, wel ogenschijnlijk moeiteloos. Als muzikant speelt hij graag met verwachtingspatronen, daagt zijn medespeler uit en zet de luisteraar met veel genoegen op het verkeerde been. Natuurlijk hebben Valle en Baas de nodige raakvlakk...

In a year marked by the Covid-19 pandemic, host Leendert van der Valk catches up with Cuban pianist Ramón Valle and guitarist Reinier Baas, as they recorded an exclusive online concert at the invitation of Music Meeting Festival. Cuban pianist Ramón Valle emigrated to the Netherlands in part because of the country’s liberal jazz scene. In his impressionistic playing, latin, classical and jazz music merge seamlessly. Reinier Baas' guitar playing is also fluid - not too smooth, but apparently...
