Karawane is the new band of multi-instrumentalist, sound artist and songwriter Anne Caesar van Wieren.
After ten years and three albums with his former band LPG, Anne Caesar decided to take a break to work on his new solo album. Two years of writing and recording followed, in which Anne Caesar experimented with a broad range of sounds and instruments. In keeping with his love of experimental music and search for fresh inspiration the album was recorded at many different locations (an old cinema in the centre of Groningen, an abandoned high school, a former military complex in a forest in the Dutch countryside and even a small living room in London at his girlfriend’s house).
All sides of his creative mind meet in Karawane. Alongside playing and creating music Anne Caesar is working as a visual and sound artist too.
Initially, the debut album of Karawane will be released in a unique way: Each track along with a video –made by Anne Caesar himself- will be presented on the first Monday of each month. This is the moment at which the sirens - that are placed all over the Netherlands, to warn people in case of emergency- go off as a test. This all kicks-off with the first song ‘Survive’ in January 2014. The physical album will be released later this year on the well-known Dutch indie label Excelsior Recordings.
