CHOREOMANIC by CHOREOMANIC

CHOREOMANIC saw the light when the world came to a halt in spring 2020.
With cancelled tours and no local gigs, musician Joost W. van der Graaf started writing music in which different influences from his past came together.

As soon as the material was there he reached out to some great players to record with him.
Once mixed and mastered at Nutsville Noiselab, The Hague, the album CHOREOMANIC was a fact.

Joost has long been fascinated by the concept of Choreomania and the Medieval Dancing plagues. With today’s reality the phenomenon seems to have become relevant once again!
This project is not only a musical statement but also a call to action against (cultural) oppression.
May everyone move and create in freedom!
