Bringing together Joana Guerra, Maria do Mar, Romke Kleefstra and Jan Kleefstra, the record moves with a quiet, deliberate pace, allowing words and tones to breathe fully. Spoken poetry drifts between Portuguese and Frisian inflections, carried by gently circling guitar figures, sparse harmonium chords and a sense of space that feels as important as sound itself.
Nothing here rushes or demands attention. Instead, the music invites close listening, where small shifts in timbre and phrasing take on emotional weight. The interplay between voice and instrumentation feels conversational rather than performative, rooted in shared presence and mutual sensitivity.

Released on Moving Furniture Records, It Deel IV stands as a subtle yet deeply affecting work — reflective, human and quietly powerful, offering a moment of stillness in which language, sound and silence coexist in careful balance.
