Copenhagen artist Peter Broderick is like the Swiss Army Knife of musicians; compact, elegant, multipurpose. What sets him apart is his restraint. With an arsenal of talents at his disposal, he prefers to reveal only one or two at a time. With Home, Broderick may have performed his most impressive feat yet: breathing new life into the most pedestrian arrangement in modern music. He turns the open-mic night connotations of guitar and vocal on its ear with layers of vocal washes, x-acto finger-picking figures, and his deceptively simple compositional style. You’d think working with as many as five different bands in recent history (Efterklang, Horse Feathers, She & Him, Loch Lomond and Norfolk & Western) simultaneously wouldn’t allow Peter to pursue any kind of solo career. Likewise, his easygoing, unassuming demeanor might lead you to believe he didn’t have aspirations being accessible and available to lend a musical hand. But in late 2007 a steady stream of solo instrumental releases on respected labels Type and Kning Disk has all but established Broderick as the young composer / pianist / string player to watch. Home is a collection of folk songs recorded at the end of 2007 and beginning of 2008. In late 2007, Peter Broderick toured all around Europe with the Danish ensemble Efterklang, playing violin with them, and opening the shows as a solo act. His recorded work up to this time had been primarily instrumental, but as he began to play live shows, he discovered he also had a passion for singing. And so, when he had a break from touring at the end of the year, he set out to make an album that was the opposite of his other instrumental, piano and string based recordings. With Home he has made and album with neither of these instruments. The result is an album based around layers and layers of vocals, and guitars. Recorded in various places in various parts of the world, it is an album about finding a home. Written, performed, recorded, and produced by Peter himself, and mixed with his good friend and sound wizard from Efterklang, Mads Brauer.  [hush] Peter Broderick @ MySpace PB @ Flickr PB store | emusic | itunes | amazon Download | Subscribe | Subscribe in iTunes | Subscribe to All         Less

It was with great sadness that we learned of [Mark Hoekstra]’s death this morning. Earlier this week, the 34 year old hacker suffered a heart attack while riding his bicycle and was admitted to the hospital in a coma. [Markie] has been a Hack a Day commenter for much of our existence and a project contributor for nearly as long. It started simply with things like his bright green Hack a Day iPod sock and a hand crank iPod charger. He did an excellent job documenting his projects; many people had built IR cameras, but none were nearly as thorough as him. He also enjoyed sharing his love for obsolete hardware with the community. He built a wireless eMate, turned two Mac SE/30’s into audio viualizers, and wired shutter glasses to an old SGI. It was always a treat to hear about [Mark]’s latest project and he’ll be missed greatly. [photo: Bram Belloni]        Less

This is a message that Jerome Occampo spoke in Rotterdam at the Firehouse. This was a day after a meeting where Dutch leaders came together to hear Frank Pot & Jerome Occampo present the vision for a national day of prayer in the Netherlands. This message is an encouragement about what God is doing around the world and a challenge to embrace what God wants to do in our country. God is moving among the youth worldwide and the Netherlands is no exception. Will you lay down your life to see God move? Less

Join us for an evening session from the 2007 Fire For Life Summer School with Gerard de Groot, pastor of the Living Word Church in the South part of Rotterdam.

Risk is when you don’t know what can happen, uncertain of what God will do, but knowing God wants you to do something. Pastor Jerome Ocampo shares in this teaching from the 2006 FIRE For Life Summer School how this young generation has the hope in it’s DNA that will change the destiny of the nations. Less

You can’t do what you can’t see; if you can’t see God’s destiny for the nation, then you can’t do it. If you don’t have it in you to see the houses, furniture, and works of art in the wood in the forest, then you will not have the energy to harvest the wood. Listen as Jerome Ocampo inspires vision and focus towards seeing this generation bring radical revival and revolution to Holland, Europe, and beyond. It’s possible–can you see it? Less

We finally post a new episode of Fire On Your Head with BOTH of your hosts, Dan Slavin and Steve Bremner. We give a re-cap of the F.I. missions conference we were both in attendance of, as well as give some detail as to what lays ahead for the months to come for FIRE Nederland. Listen in as we pound the table and preach to each other about how a Jesus Revolution takes time and there are no short-term solutions if we want to see a lasting impact with the Gospel on the society around us.
