Vivienne Aerts - Current

And now you're releasing an album that you recorded on your boat.

It sounds like a gimmick, right? Oh, what's she up to again? Something weird.

But hear me, it actually makes sense.

So during COVID, I was like stuck in my house in the Netherlands where I should have been in America, but the borders closed and I couldn't return.

And I was working remotely for Berkeley.

And I made this women album because there was a lot of chocolate in my life because my husband is a chocolate chef.

He's a pastry chef.

He makes desserts and stuff.

And we got to work with experimental dessert paintings.

And so that led all this to this collaboration, but that was a whole process of a couple of years, but we already during COVID Teddy was scrolling Facebook and for a boat because in the Netherlands there's so much water.

Everybody has a boat.

And he found this boat for like a historic, like 1951, is it, built? Wood, super tiny sailboat for 250 euros.

What? Yeah.

And he's like, oh, this could be a cheap holiday because any hotel room is going to be, and it's COVID so we couldn't really go in it.

So how about we just have this boat and if it, you know, if it, If it sinks afterwards, it's fine.

So we have a cheap holiday and there was no house on the boat.

No, nothing on the boat, just space for two yoga mats.

And I'm like, oh yeah, whatever.

Let's do it.

I have no clue about it, but he grew up with boats and he knows to sail and he knows all about that.

So I'm like, okay, cool.

Let's do it.

And so we went on the boat and you know, sleeping mats and stuff.

And we stayed on it for a couple of weeks.

You can jump off to go get coffee and go to the loo.
