This podcast sets up the conditions in which something is bound to happen, emerging from the ceaseless creative projects and processes of South African multi-disciplinary artist and educator Jaco van der Merwe. No rules, many experiments, many conversations, many audio rabbit-holes.
5: Bittereinder’s final festival show - a trip to Misty Waters 2023
After 14 years of banging out conscious Afrikaans electro-rap, Bittereinder has hung up the gloves. I took my Zoom H1 recorder along to the final festival show of this band which has been such a foundational part of my life as an artist and thinker. I recorded my thoughts on the way to the show, and after the show, and you can also hear a hotel-room set-list-figuring-out-session, as well as some clips from the live show itself, recorded from within the audience.

1: Emergence Emerges
A ramble about emergence while driving in the rain, a reading of a poem in the park, some connecting thoughts from my home, and a eulogy-epilogue. Thus begins the Emergence Podcast.
