EXHIBITION SPACE IMPRO | CAPTURING THE SCENE
may until end of september 2024
Over the years, photographer Erik Smits took portraits of the musicians prior to their concerts until the venue moved in the summer of 2023. He improvised a roll-out photo studio on the first floor, using rails and curtains. Isolated from the crowded and sometimes chaotic environment, he captured the scene, frozen in dozens of portraits.
Capturing the scene is a time document of the Space Impro scene in de Ruimte at de Distelweg. The venue has now moved to the temporary location of Sexyland World.

Coming up: De Ruimte’s SUNDAY SPACE IMPRO XXL and I’m happy to be part of it! I will be playing proggy experimental triphop, of course. “Cardiac Parole” is a long piece that I came up with for last year’s Amsterdam Dance Event x Composers Now concert. For my terms it turned out unusually mellow if not trippy. In retrospect I think it could be a subconscious tribute to the great (late) Jaki Liebezeit… Also on the bill are Ada, Felicity, Kenzo, Wilbert and Fabienne! If you want to come then be quick, there’s only a few tickets left. This coming sunday 30th of january in the afternoon.
New music alert! Watch the aftermovie of the sneak-preview concert at De Helling in Utrecht. Powered by We Are Public. PS: Beautiful work of Aart Strootman too!

Crazy release by Andrew Bergmann: 45 Minutes For 128 Musicians! Years back Andrew sent me a bunch of sheet music and a click track to record his music. Great to finally hear the result and proud to be part of this project.
November 2021
I have been playing drums for the new Dutch movie DO NOT HESITATE. It’s a very nice and subtile film (directed by Shariff Korver) about young soldiers getting stuck in a complex situation during a peace-keeping mission in the Middle-East. The movie got selected as the Dutch Oscar entry and is screening now in the Dutch cinema’s. Here’s a scene I secretly shot during the NL premiere on The Netherlands Film Festival in Utrecht.
October 2021: ADE!
New solo-set played live at the ADE Festival last month. After quite some loud stuff it was time to move into a more mellow zone. ‘Cardiac Parole’ is a 25 minutes long trip in 5 or 4 depending on how you hear it. Perfect for washing the dishes, randomly walk around, soft-dance and …?
September 2021
Happy to announce that I’m invited to play two solo-set’s at the Amsterdam Dance Event on the 14th of October 2021 at Dokzaal. A collaboration with Dutch Composers NOW, curated by Evelien van den Broek.

A new solo album is in the making: an intense operation supported by the powers of producer Gijs van Klooster and his Redhouse Studio Amsterdam.
August 2020
The Performing Arts Fund NL has awarded me a grant for two projects: composing music for my new solo album and lights & drums (working title), a collaboration with light artist Meeus van Dis. I’m super grateful and excited.
June 2020
Currently I’m in a (fun) phase of researching new toys, sounds and content for a new solo album. For this project I will collaborate with award winning producer Gijs van Klooster, also known from the debut EP from that band called Knalpot.
April 2020
Solo featuring stage- and light-design by Meeus van Dis: live try-out at Paradiso Amsterdam.
These are the first reactions (in dutch):
“Gerri Jaeger’s recente optreden in Paradiso maakte grote indruk op me. Hij verbindt heel overtuigend geluid, licht en performance, en onderzoekt daarmee op unieke wijze de kruising van verschillende disciplines. Zeldzaam ook om een drummer te zien die in zijn eentje zo lang de hele zaal in zijn greep houdt!” Aernout Mik, beeldend kunstenaar, installatie- en filmmaker
“In Paradiso beleefde ik de beste drums ever. Het was iets anders dan horen. Meestal is drums een muzikale ervaring maar die avond was drums sculptuur, ik ervoer het 3-dimensionaal, alsof ik voor de Eiffeltoren stond of de kathedraal van Keulen. De man met de witte baard smeedde als Richard Serra een muur van staal. Geluid was visueel, alsof mijn oren keken en mijn ogen luisterden.” Hans van Houwelingen, beeldend kunstenaar
“De laatste keer dat ik Gerri Jäger hoorde spelen in Paradiso tijdens de “inclusion of the excluded”, een avond vormgegeven door beeldend kunstenaar Berend Strik, werd ik en met mij een groot deel van het publiek gegrepen door de energie van zijn spel. Hij zocht de grenzen op van zijn luisteraars met een eindeloos durende solo. Als publiek raakte je in trance en kon je alleen nog maar luisteren naar deze weergaloze en meeslepende drumsessie, die bleef fascineren tot het eind.” Nicolette Gast, Curator beeldende kunst

mixing the new album of Knalpot. 3 years of work will be finished soon before the search for a suitable record label will start. any ideas are welcome. – doing the last overdubs for the Naked Wolf album – the dub trio show at DB’s in Utrecht last week was amazing – the EKE concert at North Sea Jazz was a fun closing concert of the season.
