Pieta – Mischa Andriessen
Number two in the series of recorded poetry is Pieta by Mischa Andriessen. In three days he read the 99 poems from his book Pieta, released in 2024 by Querido, with his own particular vocal melody; fiery and fragile, contemplative and passionate. “Poëzie is taalmuziek” (poetry is language-music) are the words from Piet Gerbrandy. They became the motto for this series. Keep your eyes and ears open and join the release party at OCCII in Amsterdam on February 3! Find the album here on Bandcamp or on various streaming platforms.
