And the great news just reached us, awkward i is nominated for a Gouden Kalf in the category Best Music…
The Nederlands Film Festival has chosen the soundtrack of The Deflowering of Eva van End to be worthy a Gouden Kalf…
The jury wrote: " Djurre de Haan voor DE ONTMAAGDING VAN EVA VAN END
Het speelse, ironische karakter van de muziek van Djurre de Haan vult de film perfect aan. De
bij tijden melancholische en dan weer hilarische muziekstukken sluiten naadloos aan bij het
drama. De overwegend opgewekte score zorgt ervoor dat de kijker geboeid blijft tot het einde.
De jury hoopt in de toekomst nog veel van deze debuterende componist te horen. "
On Friday 4 October at 20:55 we will know if Djurre has won… The award-ceremony will be broadcasted on Ned 2, www.filmfestival.nl and Cultura24, so tune in and share the excitement….

awkward i op het Nederlands Film Festival

Het Nederlands Film Festival in Utrecht is weer begonnen. En het festival heeft dit jaar een awkward i -tintje. Want voor drie films die op het festival zijn te zien heeft Djurre muziek gemaakt.
Vingers
Een nieuwe (korte) film van Michiel ten Horn, met in de hoofdrol Ton Kas. Als keurige wiskundeleraar Bernd ziet hij zich tot zijn schrik geconfronteerd met de losgeslagen seksuele moraal van zijn leerlingen en gaat er een voorheen onbekende wereld voor hem open. Te zien in de serie KORT! – hier meer info.

Nog een film met awkward i -inbreng. Want de titeltrack van de afstudeerfilm van Mees Peijnenburg, die dit jaar afstudeerde aan de Filmacademie, is van Djurre zijn hand. De film draait dit jaar op het NFF. En niet alleen dat, ook was ie op 29 september te zien op Nederland 2. Kijk hem hier terug. De film gaat over de vriendschap tussen Gijs en Sven, die door een straatruzie en de gevolgen daarvan nogal onder druk komt te staan.
Het afgelopen jaar heeft de zegetocht van DOVEVE doorgezet. De speelfilm, waarvoor Djurre de score en soundtrack maakte, is inmiddels aan 23 landen verkocht. Aan het eind van het jaar zelfs is ie zelfs te zien in de Amerikaanse en Chinese bioscopen! Ook is de film genomineerd voor een Gouden Kalf en nog een aantal keer te zien op het festival.
Op donderdag 3 oktober is er in Hoog Catharijne een pop-up bioscoop, waar je gratis De Ontmaagding van Eva van End kan kijken. En als dat al geen goede reden is, is de muzikale omlijsting van die avond dat zeker. Djurre draait voor en na de film plaatjes. Kom dus vanaf 20.30 uur langs! Meer info hier.

awkward i Harmonizes Dutch, Indonesian Musical Traditions
Awkward i Harmonizes Dutch, Indonesian Musical Traditions

Hailed by music critics as “one of Western Europe’s brightest new lights,” Dutch singer and songwriter Djurre de Haan and his band awkward i, will be part of a unique cross-cultural collaboration that will take place in Indonesia this month.
Organized by the Dutch cultural center Erasmus Huis, awkward i will embark on a tour to Semarang, Jakarta and Bogor, accompanied for each show by Indonesian gamelan orchestra Nikimuzieku.
The orchestra consists of students of the Soegijapranata Catholic University, Semarang, who are on a mission to keep Indonesian traditions — like wayang and gamelan — alive by making the arts more attractive to the younger generation. The students organize collaborations with contemporary musicians and traditional music groups from other countries, including Taiko drum players from Japan.
Staying true to this concept, Nikimuzieku’s joint tour with awkward i seems like a natural choice. De Haan, who comes from Groningen in the northern part of the Netherlands, began his music career as a bass player in the band Alamo Race Track and Hospital Bombers, before releasing his first solo album “I Really Should Whisper” under the moniker awkward i in 2009.
His debut was an instant success in the Netherlands, as he presented a fresh sound that combines meaningful lyrics with melodic depth, resulting in melancholy songs that leave a lasting impression. His sophomore effort “Everything On Wheels” followed two years later, but de Haan wasn’t flying solo anymore — his one-man project had grown into a full band and was lauded by critics and fans.
“This singer-songwriter doesn’t whisper anymore, which is good, as each single note of ‘Everything On Wheels’ must be heard,” one Dutch music critic wrote.
In addition to the release of two successful albums, awkward i is also known for mesmerizing live performances. It is here that de Haan has the possibility to show his true talent: he proves to be versatile, as he owns the stage at all times — be it solo, accompanied only by his guitar or backed by his entire band.
For this tour, a couple of songs from awkward i’s second album have been altered and made suitable for accompaniment by a gamelan orchestra, so the concerts will bring together Dutch and Indonesian cultures through music.
The tour will begin on Friday in Semarang, Nikimuzieku’s home town, and continue to Jakarta and Bogor on Jan. 21 and 23, respectively.
