Re. Happy Days

The Eindhoven based band The Rose Frustrates consists of sound engineer Mark van der Heijden (Lab van Akoestiek), artist Ramon Hulspas (AE) and curator Michel van Dartel (V2_). As a group, The Rose Frustrates has a lot in common with Onomatopee. Both have their roots in the lo-fi culture of the 90s: in which artists and musicians, by way of home-made analogue cut-and-paste projects, encouraged one another to realise strange, peculiar and original results. But is that culture still alive? In this project, The Rose Frustrates and Onomatopee challenged musicians and artist to once again start cutting and pasting in their living rooms. The end result is a tribute to lo-fi culture.
