Rood Adeo in concert live, Thiemeloods Theater
[review by Luus Veeken]
'Poetic, raw and melancholic'
'The evening at Thiemeloods Theater in Bottendaal with singer songwriter Rood Adeo on Dec. 23, 2023, is memorable. (...) In the duets, a beautiful blend of Rood Adeo's bronze, sometimes gritty sound, and Esther Croezen's clear, sonorous voice. A vocal entanglement. The pleasure in playing together spills out. (...) In short: a fascinating evening with an intriguing mix of singing styles and musical genres...'

'We hebben op 3 september op de Culturele Uitmarkt in de Theaterkerk tijdens het spontane miniconcert al kunnen genieten van de geweldige twee-eenheid van meester-songwriter Rood Adeo en vocaliste Esther Croezen: zó relaxt, diep, humoristisch, en zó muzikaal!
We treffen het dan ook op de 6e januari; Rood Adeo wordt in het kersverse nieuwe jaar niet alleen geflankeerd door Esther ‘Berkeley Square Nightingale’ Croezen, maar ook door de strijkende kruisbestuiver van jazz, folk, klassiek en impro: Tessa Zoutendijk.
Mis dit TOP Rood Adeo-concert in de Theaterkerk dus niet, en kijk of je het droog houdt: deze avond met Adeo op reprise belooft opnieuw ‘himmelhoch jauchzend, zu Tode betrübt’ te worden!'
(text: T.O.P., Bemmel)
Over Worn Love, het laatste album Rood Adeo.
“In 2012 omschreef de Allegro USA de stem van Rood Adeo als ‘The voice of life itself: beautiful and painful at the same time’. Vijf tijdzones en negen jaar later, besef ik dat die omschrijving niet alleen Roods stem, maar de intentie van zijn hele werk typeert: afdalen in de donkere, absurde lagen van de psyche om een objectieve schoonheid naar boven te kunnen halen. Ook zijn nieuwste album, ‘Worn Love’, plukt gretig aan gevoelssnaren, rukt schellen van de ogen en spot met de onvermijdelijke realiteit: hoe beautiful het leven, maar hoe painful het met de mens gesteld is.”

THU 10 NOV 2022 Music & Poetry: WORN LOVE / AUTOWEG NAAR TOEN
met: ROOD ADEO, PETER S. GIESELAAR, TESSA ZOUTENDIJK, DION NIJLAND
BREBL
Waalbandijk 14E Nijmegen
Aanvang: 20:30u | Bestel je Tickets Hier
ROOD ADEO 'Worn Love'
Al een kwart eeuw levert Rood Adeo obscuur-romantische albums en live-performances van topniveau af. In Brebl presenteert hij ‘Worn Love’, het partneralbum van ‘Voluntary Intakes’, waarmee het een tweeluik vormt van maar liefst 31 tracks aan nieuwe nummers, eerdere opnames en live uitvoeringen.
Voor dit power house aan muziek en poëzie van maestro-songwriter Adeo kunnen we maar beter even gaan zitten; beide luisterplaten vangen de aandacht volledig, knijpen onbarmhartig in de ziel en laten ons balanceren tussen hoop en wanhoop. Dat belooft alle goeds voor de concerten van de komende Worn Love albumtour; die een must zijn voor alle dieper gravende music & words liefhebbers. Rood wordt in Breble geëscorteerd door de inspirerende, splendide Tessa Zoutendijk (viool) & Dion Nijland (contrabas).
PETER S. GIESELAAR 'Autoweg Naar Toen'
Schrijver/dichter Peter Sebastiaan Gieselaar (1952) komt uit een Haags katholiek gezin met elf kinderen. Rebels en onbegrepen verlaat hij op jonge leeftijd huis en school. Als probleemkind groeit hij vanaf zijn pubertijd onbeschermd ‘uit het zicht’ op, beschadigd en beschadigend. Taal en rijbewijzen vormen uiteindelijk de enige bondgenoten tijdens de zoektocht naar vrijheid, weg van de hypocriete moraal. Zijn reislust voert hem diep en ver: door Midden- en Oost Europa en door beklemmend Rusland, achter het IJzeren Gordijn. Maar ook daar laat een verleden zich door een stroom nietsontziende avonturen niet toedekkken. Een succesvolle carrière in de transportsector levert Gieselaar uiteindelijk genoeg vrijheid van geest op om een blijvende relatie met bondgenoot Taal aan te kunnen gaan en poëzie bloot te leggen in ‘alles dat er toe doet’.
In 2022 verschijnt het verbindende Autoweg Naar Toen bij Uitgeverij StarClimbers: Haags eigenwijs, ongekunsteld recht voor z’n raap.
"De spontane overwegingen treffen vergankelijkheid, liefde en melancholie. Rake, filmische taferelen, die het verband blootleggen tussen verbeelding en poëzie als betekenisdrager." [Turing]
"Fraaie representationele semantiek: Gieselaars gedicht Leeg laat, als geen ander gedicht, de lezer voelen wat eindeloze leegte inhoudt." [Awater]
"Peter S. Gieselaars poëzie put zachtjes uit verafgelegen verdriet en lang verdrongen liefde, maar drukt je hard in de verwaarloosde rust van hier en nu." [Rood Adeo]

ROOD ADEO on collaborations with visual artist, poets and writers:
'Over the past 25 years I have had the opportunity to merge my songs with the works of visual artists and poets I admire. Artists I met before in one way or another, apart from the work we make. Not that the way we met is relevant, but the connection thus becomes more personal, self-important and coincidental from both sides.
These experiments always take on a life of their own. ´Going out together on a blind date´ causes our individual works to emigrate to another dimension. Far beyond our initial spheres of influence. It is always insane, discovering the surprising impact a new medium or material has on an existing or new song.
On every corner of every momen of each day, there are things to discover, to encounter, and so many people who can blow your mind, blow your socks off and make your head spin. Last September, I encountred Loes Groothuis' mesmerizing installations and instantly we shifted the song 'Paradise To Me' into a completely different gear. The song itself is an absurdity, a Woody Allen-esque obscenity that mostly elicits sarcasm. Groothuis' mesmerizing masks add a sadder, fairytale-like and more dangerous perspective to it.
'In the past three decades a substantial battery, or gallery if you like, has emerged, covering a wide variety of different techniques: oil paint, ceramics, (photo)animation, 3D, paperwork, film, cartoon....
At makershouse Silly Sound, I worked with so many great and inspiring creators such as Rachel Kruithof (NL), Pauline Lubbers Huntjes (NL), Andreas Hetfeld (D), Astrid van Rijn (NL), Eelko van Iersel (NL), Romy Pfeiffer (D), The70KID (NL), Alice Jetten (NL), Eric de Bruijn (P), Lieke Bisschop (NL), Roman Kolakowski (PL), Frank Norbert Rieter and Peter Sebastiaan Gieselaar (NL). Maybe this is a good place to epress my gratitude to you all those dear artists I admire in many ways... I'm damn glad we met in the same time-space bubble, you one and all!'

Rood Adeo - Piano Concerto in A (rehearsal excerpt)
Whenever possible, Rood tries to explore new as well as old territory, studying songs and works by contemporary songwriters and composers who inspire him, delving into the work of people from the past, and trying to understand and feel different ways of approaching the craft of music.
For DPA, Rood recorded some contemplations in the documentaries Walking with Beethoven and Rood adeo Plays Mozart. Rood: 'We are all working in a tradition. Nothing I write, is the first song or piece. I realize we all just work on that one and the same big piece of music, re-creating the mystery by working on that same great opus, cracking the same coconut, digging the same well, wielding our machetes, trying to clear a passable path to the same river. Sometimes I wanna see where other people already have been, where they've camped, what traces they left, and dive in their culture or particular tradition. Music offers us that magical opportunity of immersing oneself completely in a specific period in history that led us to where we are today. I enjoy experiencing the life and works of one particular composer for an extended period of time. Capturing a periode, an instrument or a composer is amazing. It's archaeology, it's speleology, it's remote viewing, it's telepathy, telekinese, time travelling. Without worrying about burning rocket fuel, wormhole sickness or spacetime aging. It simply doesn't get any better, exploring the realms of Sinatra, King Cole, Simone, Waits, Cale, Weill, or Sondheim. I spent seasons in Bach's bubble, months in Mozart's. Obviously, spending a decade with Chopin or Beethoven is a short stay, but nonetheless a mind blowing one. Every composer is worth while spending a lifetime researching. It is one of our shared tragedies, realizing the hard boudaries of one's own time and mind. Yet all too often, my limits force me to go elsewhere; due to insufficient physical finger technique or reading ability or a lack of time, my attention wanes automatically, and new areas start luring. My shortcomings and boundaries push me ahead. And that's what makes it an organic learning process in which there's nothing to prove, conquer or master. I just learn and enjoy the ride.'
To put those findings about music from earlier centuries in practice to a certain degree, Rood started writing music peaces in a 'classical form' in 2005, and continues doing so.
Rood: ' It is quite challenging, writing and arranging pieces the old-fashion way. It is a constant planning, managing musicians, time, room and space. Asking musicians to study and participate Some theater directors are very generous, letting me use their auditorium free of charge when it is empty. But these bumps deepen the learning process; there is a lot of time between recordings, giving me time to implement new input I receive from the various strings and winds. It's wonderful: each musician approaches a work differently. It is a mad man's passion and often more than I can chew, but the old school teaches me a lot, it's definitely rewarding and worth while.
For DPA, Rood recorded some contemplations in the documentaries Walking with Beethoven and Rood adeo Plays Mozart.

RETRATO by Emanuel Pessanha & Rood Adeo now streamable!
watch abum clip HERE
stream album Retrato HERE
"Heartache and joie de vivre… On this album Emanuel Pessanha's timbre, and Rood Adeo's toucher play a sophisticated game with our sense of time and our sentiments. A gathering of both Portuguese and Dutch musicians fills the room with anticipative nuances. A dreamy, non-traditional feast, yet captured in a very traditional fado ambiance: recorded in a relaxed, warm after-hours live setting, drenched in Alfalma 'tinto e branco'. 'Retrato' delivers a warm and lustful ode to the Fado and provides us with a timeless portrait of a friendship between musicians who know how to celebrate life the right way. Their shared Lisbon escapades, as well as the joy partaken in celebrating songs, oscillate on this collection of gems. When evening falls, the night is still long. For real passion, the morning light will wait a little longer." [Fado World, Sintra]

Op de tweede zondag van november wordt Cale’s werk opnieuw bezocht door een all-star formatie aan artiesten, wiens eigen werk beinvloed is door Cale: Rood Adeo, Loek Schrievers, Manuel Cooymans, Hennie van Heck, Jan Flubacher en Johan Jansen.

in concert ROOD ADEO Yuletide Ashes, Kerstconcert 2018
'Afgelopen maand verscheen het album Voluntary Intakes', de langverwachte tour de force van songwriter Rood Adeo. Maar geduld wordt beloond: het album klinkt zoals we het heel graag hebben: broeierig, indringend, romantisch en wars van hypes. De ondoorgrondelijke muzikale octopus Adeo overtreft zichzelf opnieuw met deze bodemloze juwelenkist aan pijnigende scenario’s, poëtische ontregeling en intieme liefdesverklaringen.
Deze avond in het Beauforthuis vormt de kwintessens van Adeo’s productieve en bewogen seizoen, maar gaat verder dan eigen werk: onder de noemer 'Yuletide Ashes 1756-2018' plukt Rood de vruchten van 200 jaar romantiek, liefelijkheid en hartstocht en laat ze tijdens dit Kerstconcert gisten tot een ontroerende en hoopvolle glühwein.'

Nijmeegse Marieke, het verhaal van Mariken van Nieumeghen opnieuw verteld in liederen door Karel Bosman Karel Bosman, met o.a. medewerking van Rood Adeo , werd eerder dit jaar gelanceerd als boek met cd. Het staat nu centraal in een unieke danstheatervoorstelling op een bijzondere locatie. Uniek, want de dansers nemen je mee van De Kaaij en over het wiebelbrug naar de Ooij. En alleen bezoekers ervaren de voorstelling, want het publiek wandelt met een ‘silent headphones’ mee met het theaterstuk.
Al voor het verschijnen van het boek met cd wandelden zij met dit idee rond. Na een jaar van voorbereidingen is het eindelijk zover. Het Nijmeegse Marieke danstheater gaat opgevoerd worden, op zondag 23 en zondag 30 september.
Uiteraard vervullen Marieke en Moenen de hoofdrol, vertolkt door danseres Yuliya Globa en bewegingsacteur Arjan Gebraad.

Wintertuin Festival Nijmegen
Vrij Zwemmen CC De Lindenberg
'Illuster trio woordkunstenaars uit Nijmeegse Indische buurt op literair festival Wintertuin'
Schrijver Frans W.M. Kusters, dichter H.H. ter Balkt en songwriter Rood Adeo staan 29 november samen op het podium van de Lindenberg. De drie Nijmegenaren delen meer dan hun voorliefde voor de woordkunst: zij woonden jarenlang op nog geen 100 meter van elkaar in de Indische buurt in Nijmegen.
Adeo meent dat dit geen toeval is: "Al onze buurtgenoten hebben woord-tics; iedereen lult en schrijft er maar wat op los, zelfs degenen die werkelijk niets te melden hebben. Ze stamelen, stotteren, blèren en hakkelen alsof hun leven ervan af hangt. Deze ernstige vorm van Nijmeegs-Indische inteelt is epidemisch, chronisch en letaal. Het zit in de grond, hè? En in de lucht. In het water, ook in de afvoer. Vóór de eerste bebouwing rond 1925, is er op die grond té lang eenzijdig woordsalade verbouwd. Ook heeft ergens in die buurt een spraakwaterval als zoetwatertoevoer gediend. Met alle gevolgen van dien. Maar aan die wetenschap hebben we nu niets. Het moet gewoon stoppen. Er zijn sowieso al te veel woordgekken en er is door die wijkbewoners nu wel genoeg uit de school geklapt. Gewoon uit de buurt blijven, dus! En ja, u mag mij woord voor woord citeren, dat zien wij alle drie nou eenmaal graag..."

EN - 'Rood's performance of 'The other woman' is wonderful. The musical accompaniment is very minimalist, but extremely effective. Rood plays the piano himself and brought a trombonist and clarinettist along. Nina Simone's buitengewone geluid is niet te evenaren, maar Rood komt vanavond het dichtst in de buurt: hij houdt de noten lang, is gezegend met dezelfde timing die Nina Simone bezat en weet zelfs flarden van haar unieke timbre te vangen. (...)' [VPRO 3voor12]
NE - 'Prachtig is de uitvoering van 'The Other Woman' door Rood. De muzikale begeleiding is zeer minimalistisch, maar bijzonder doeltreffend. Rood speelt zelf piano en heeft iemand op trombone en klarinet meegenomen. Het bijzondere geluid van Nina Simone is niet te evenaren, maar Rood komt er vanavond het dichtste bij: hij houdt de tonen lang aan, heeft dezelfde timing als Nina Simone en zelfs zijn flarden van hetzelfde timbre te horen.

Franque et Rouge going croissant ‘n’ oeuf.
In the early morning of June 26th, Frank de Kleer and Rood Adeo stuffed Frank’s lockless Opel Kadettilac E (sixth generation Kadett, 1985 European Car of the Year, three doors, four tires, swooping teardrop shape, length: 3998 mm, width 1663 mm, highth 1400 mm, design by Gordon M. Brown) and are heading South, trembling and shaking.
Coming weekend they’ll be in awe of world’s most intimidating guitarists (the very hot Hot Club de France masters), attending the Django Festival in Samois-sur-Seine. A humbling experience, for sure. Hopefully, somewhere around August they will be able to hold their heads up high again...
À bientôt, mes amours!

For Rood's song To Be A Man, none other than Oene van Geel has written a beautiful arrangement, which will be performed by his incomparable Zapp String Quartet. F*cking Brilliant!

Rood Adeo & NATD are recording Walkin' On Eggs at Wisseloord Studios, Hilversum
Thanks to Oene, Jasper Le Clerq, Willem van Baarsen, Bonno Lange, Eef van Breen, Sander van der Heide, Patrick Ulenberg, Hans Bedeker, Henk ‘DSD’ Korff, and Bart Sloothaak for their ossified contributions!
