about

On a blustery day in the spring of 2020, Eddy Verloes met a group of excited Hasidic Jewish boys on a Belgian beach, an encounter resulting in a series of photographs which would travel the world and make his name as a photographer. He asked the famous poet, Benno Barnard, who knows and loves Jewish culture, to write poems to accompany the images which were also translated in English. Inspired by the photos and poems, The river curls around the town took up the challenge to set these lyrics to music.

The music is part of the book with the photos and the poems but is also available as a digital download. You can order the book (including the album) in our webshop.

The river curls around the town image

The river curls around the town Tienen, Belgium

An elegant and mysterious mix of electronics and smooth pop, modest and groovy at the same time ... is the best description for the musical project of Bart Bekker and Jan Vanwinckel. These guys are best known as key figures of the rock band Gudinöv, but in between they are working on tracks for their studio project The river curls around the town. ... more
