In 2018 Bruno Vansina went on a musical adventure. Every month, his band visited a quirky place: an ice rink, motorway, velodrome or fair. The challenge: to incorporate the location into their music making. The camera registered the music, the sounds, the events. Each month produced a short film, the sum of which was a musical visual story in 12 chapters. These twelve recordings together also form an auditory story. The result is pure, sometimes rough and out of tune, unrehearsed but often amusing and fun to listen to. Beauty is in the beholder.
