“The music on The Metamorphosis EP was initially commissioned by theatre company Noortje Licht as a soundtrack for ‘De Gedaanteverwisseling’ (The Metamorphosis), based on the book by Franz Kafka. This show/installation (2010) was a seamless combination of acting, extremely inventive video projections by Douwe Dijkstra and music by Bram van den Oever (Gluid). After some minor alterations, this soundtrack became a breathtaking stand-alone EP. And just like the world famous psychological thriller by Kafka, it haunts you with hallucinatory beauty.”

“Binnensuis is a short theater play/dance performance, made by dancer Janneke Lenzen, musician Bram van den Oever (Gluid) and writer Jehudi van Dijk. The monologues Jehudi van Dijk wrote for this performance, were recorded by Bram van den Oever with the voice of Janneke Lenzen. He then modified and remixed these recordings into a stunning piece of music. Dancer Janneke Lenzen worked with this material to come up with a fitting choreography. For a long time the three individual creators of Binnensuis worked seperately on this project. Only in the final stage of the process all the parts were fused together to form Binnensuis. Binnensuis wants to show the disturbing world inside the head of an alienated, lonely woman, who rarely leaves her house and is plagued by a multitude of different phobia and severe neurotic behaviour.”
