This weekend I’ll be performing with actor Timon Blok at the theatre festival HIstories.
We perform in the stunning Onze Lieve Vrouwen church in Bilthoven — an architectural icon and the perfect setting for this story.
HIstories is a theatre festival built around personal stories of people and houses in and around De Bilt, Biltoven and Zeist.
Every now and then, a review pops up I didn't know about. This time from Jazz Journal (UK) on Freshta:
"Lotz's deep-seated belief that the ideas of peace and freedom are too powerful to destroy proves to be a powerful creative spark, and despite the undeniable gravity of the subject matter, Freshta is ultimately an expression of hope, defiance and joy."

Sonic Squid Music is a new label. Our first dive brings re-releases of past works: underwater soundscapes, night music, a Cuban Yoruba trilogy, free improvisations from Istanbul, Pygmy Bop, or interpretations of West African Fula music.
I’ve launched my own label. Sonic Squid Music is home for the unheard, the unexpected, and the uncompromising. Follow, support, and dive in.
ONLY DEAD FISH SWIM WITH THE FLOW
