On 15 March, Moezeum will host the presentation of the second album, titled Zelf, by Jonathan Bergsma (known under the artist name Johnny Loves Me), realised with the support of Amarte. The evening combines a full live performance of the album with an exhibition and an ambient listening experience.For this one-time show, Bergsma will be accompanied by a string ensemble. In addition, other music acts and DJs will perform. Throughout the venue, various art presentations will be on view, which, in dialogue with the music, further explore the album’s central theme on both a sensory and spatial level.With Zelf, Bergsma continues the trajectory initiated with his debut écht?, which was adapted into a film and premiered at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. Whereas the first album was described by 3voor12 as “the soundtrack for your identity crisis”, Zelf focuses on examining and peeling back layers of self-image, aiming to establish a more honest relationship with one’s own identity.The music moves between indie and alternative pop, with influences from hip-hop and sample-based production, interspersed with more intimate, singer-songwriter-like moments. In the live performance, string arrangements collide with raw drums, classical guitar, piano, bass, and vocals, all manipulated through real-time effects. The result is an eclectic and immediate performance in which personal themes and musical experimentation converge.
