Into The Great Wide Open partnered with the Dutch online platform Ambient Curation and invited the creators to work on new music for a week. Brouwerij Fortuna served as a base, the island as a source of inspiration and instrument. Soon, the sounds of Vlieland found their way into the group's compositions. The wind, the sand, and birds that herald the morning at half past four. Conversations by the tent, a tour with the forest ranger, a poem on the Vliehors Expres.

What started as a collection of musicians from various regions in the Netherlands grew on the island into a close-knit collective, which named itself Belle and began working on a joint album. Various approaches merged on it: while one digitally distorted recordings of the dunes, another tapped rhythms with sticks from the forest, and yet another sought refuge at the just-not-pure piano that still stood in Fortuna. The result is as meditative as it is captivating, a capture of grand nature, but also of small moments where new friendships blossom.
