The Isolation Sessions (TIS) start in March 2020 and are an idea
by Effenaar sound engineer Bob de Wit, originally done in his
own The Supernova Studio. Webzine Eindhoven Rockcity joins as
the local online media partner. The daily live stream of
concerts are so successful, that after just one week, the team
decides to move to the Effenaar where better equipment, more
staff and more space is available. Dynamo also joins as a
partner, co-booking an even wider selection of bands and
artists.
The sessions are intended to allow musicians and audiences to
enjoy live music in this worldwide crisis on a daily basis.
Effenaar promoter Robert Schaeffer: "The Effenaar is the
amplifier of the pop culture of Eindhoven and this collaboration
fits in perfectly. We strive to bring the passion of the
musicians to the audience homes. During the sessions the
guidelines of the RIVM are of course meticulously observed.”
Every day at 21:00 a new live stream can be found through this
platform with music by upcoming talents and established artists
and bands. All booked by Effenaar, Dynamo and Bob de Wit. From
hip-hop to metal and from hardcore to singer-songwriters.
Already more than 80 sessions have been done by a wide variety
of bands and artists. The total number of TIS-streams is well
over 200,000 and growing rapidly every day.
The Isolation Sessions is a collaboration between The Super-Nova
Studio crew, Eindhoven Rockcity, Dynamo, Effenaar, Copyright Delta
and of course: all the amazing musicians.
Effenaar
De Effenaar is a multifunctional pop stage with two halls, a
restaurant-café and its own backyard. However, we also program
in places in Eindhoven that enhance the atmosphere of a
concert; a skate park, a church, the Klokgebouw or a green
part of the city such as Groendomein het Wasven. Besides the
concert and dance programming, we organize festivals with
international allure such as Eindhoven Metal Meeting, Come As
You Are, DDW Music and Fuzz Club.
But we do more than just music. Besides cultural education,
business meetings and our cosy restaurant-café, we also work
hard as 'Effenaar Smart Venue'. We offer space for innovative,
high-tech experiments in the field of virtual and augmented
reality, full body scans, 3d printing and big data.
The Supernova Studio
Live sound engineer and studio technician Bob de Wit has more
than earned his spurs in both areas. Besides the many
international tours (a.o. Mudhoney/The Sonics) and individual
shows in Effenaar as sound engineer, he records bands and
artists like Dave Vermeulen, Radar Men From The Moon, The
Gluts, S.T. Cordell and many others in his Eindhoven Studio
(located in T56).
Dynamo
Dynamo is a creative platform for young talent. A youth
centre, stage, workshop space and school in one. In a dynamic
learning environment, young talent develops at Dynamo in
dance, music, art, culture, sports and new media. The
subcultures Urban, Rock and Dance are also strongly
represented by several volunteer groups.
360 Verbeelding
360° Verbeelding is the film and video company of René
Ribbens, with years of experience in making video productions
of the most diverse kind. Whether it concerns corporate films,
concert registrations in 2D or 360 Video, he makes a complete
product of it. Besides technical productions Ribbens also
gives advice and training.
Copyright Delta
Copyright Delta builds privacy-by-design digital rights management
software enabling content owners to stay in control of their data
and copyrights while providing real-time insights. With this we can
solve a huge gap in the audio-visual value chain (music, podcasts,
video, games, VR). Our solution is the result of a close collaboration
with music creators and industry partners while solving their collective needs.
During the corona lockdown we wanted to support the creative sector
where we can and especially the Effenaar. We achieved this by jointly
designing, building and hosting the Sessions portal with the Effenaar.
