Looking back on the year 2011 a highlight was definitely the Incubate Festival. A week full of music, art, dance, film and many many more. A week which gave us the positive reactions on the Play Me, I’m Yours project, a film of Peter Broderick‘s stay in a farm, the DIY conference and of course all the artists, bands and people who worked with us during the festival.

Play Me, I’m Yours

In Tilburg and its surrounding areas 101 pianos were placed at different locations for people to play on, come together and to create something. We’ve seen a little kid singing and playing and we’ve seen an older man play whilst people were dancing to his sounds. Here is a short film about the Play Me, I’m Yours project by Sophie Tooten.

Peter & the Farm

Peter Broderick stayed for a week on a farm ‘t Schop in Brabant, the Netherlands to create new songs. He helped a cow gave birth, he worked on the farm and went to a slaughterhouse just to name a few things. It all comes together in the movie Peter & The Farm. A view on the time Peter Broderick was in The Netherlands. You can watch it below.

DIY conference

The DIY conference was all about Do-It-Yourself! Big names came to give a keynote speech and told us how they did it themselves. Steve Ignorant was interviewed by John Robb, Michael Azerrad gave a speech and same as Bill Drummond. If you missed it or need some advice on how to do it yourself here are the keynote speeches, interviews and panel discussions.
