The revolution starts at home(r) - Freek Kinkelaar
« on: August 30, 2018, 01:25:53 am »
I am Freek Kinkelaar, no need to hide behind a well-chosen, obscure/cool/vintage/sassy-sounding alias. This is me. I am a Resident.

I do music. Why not seek me out on www.freekkinkelaar.nl

I was/am very enthusiastic about the (initial?) idea of continue to collaborate with others as The Residents. It would be the ultimate concept to create a group (any group/any individual) that releases music/art as The Residents. Anyone able to use the name in honour and in spirit of what the original Residents started. The Residents would go on forever, through generations and generations. There would perhaps be several Residents, all over the world, like illicit children from the same parents. I admit, the idea is somewhat frightening, but also very appealing. It would, I think but of course I could be wrong, 100% in spirit with the concept of The Residents. Let's overturn the traditional idea of 'a band'. Why have only one Beatles or one Shostakovitch? Why mourn their deaths, when they could actively live on forever. Now I have to be honest, this idea appeals more to me than a 'simple' collaboration with others interested in the The Residents but under a different name. Why not start here with new Residents - know as The Residents?

I am on the I Am A Residents album, where I perform Boy In Love. In hindsight, I should perhaps have released that not as 'Freek Kinkelaar', but as 'The Residents'. Haha.

So glad you said this, my Freeky friend. My intentions are exactly the same as yours. I think that us fans have always been Residents in our own way... this is the natural evolution of the original project, and perhaps the REAL conclusion of the Theory of Obscurity. The idea of the Residents, to me, was always greater than the people behind the masks themselves. The people are irrelevant, even.
