Hinderlaag bij De Leepe

Boudewijn VII met de bijl of graaf Apken (1111). 18 jaar is hij als hij zijn vader opvolgt. Op het einde van zijn leven heeft Robrecht de tweede nog enkele strenge wetten opgesteld tegen de talrijke misbruiken binnen het graafschap. De naleving van die wetgeving vergt gezag en een sterke hand. Het is bovendien hoog tijd geworden om zich bezig te houden met het intern bestuur van Vlaanderen in…

A man claiming to be the masked attacker who assaulted Dutch guide Pascal Gerritsen in Bruges last week has spoken with VRT News via email.  He explains that he pushed the Dutchman into the waters of a Bruges canal  because of the lack of respect the guide shows for the architectural heritage in this tourist hotspot.

The Dutchman was involved in a guided tour and was sitting on the side of the historic Bonifacius Bridge, when he was pushed into the water.  At the time it seemed without a clear reason.

"When I was sitting on the bridge, someone popped up behind me and pushed me into the water using both his hands," explained Pascal, who used to live in Bruges city centre but has now moved out to nearby Zedelgem. "I climbed out of the canal, wrung out my clothes, put my shoes in a hedge to dry, and then finished the tour!"

In an email received by VRT News from somebody calling himself the "Masked Lover of Architecture" a man claiming responsibility for the attack motivates his actions by saying Pascal has "no respect for architecture".

The "Masked Lover of Architecture" says he deliberately pushed the guide into the water last Thursday and was annoyed by the guide sitting on the historic Bonifacius Bridge in order to address his group.

"Masked Lover" objects to guided tours that become circus acts  

According to the putative assailant guided tours should not be turned into circus acts. "It is forbidden to use street furniture, e.g. benches, dustbins, lampposts, to address tour participants," he writes. Unchallenged, the guide is allowed to climb onto our medieval architecture. He is destroying our cultural heritage by setting an example to thousands of tourists that this can and may be done by a guide," the email states.

Until now it was entirely unclear who pushed Pascal into the water. The attacker was able to flee the scene immediately and escaped on a bicycle. Last week Pascal speculated to reporters: "Maybe it is someone who does not like tourism in Bruges and thought I will push someone into the water at the busy Bonifacius Bridge. I have absolutely no idea who pushed me."

Pascal then filed a complaint with the police.

Bruges Guides Association has no powers to sanction "over-enthusiastic guide" Pascal

Jo Berten, the president of the Royal Guides Association of Bruges, understands where the masked man's frustration comes from. "Pascal, the guide with roots in the Netherlands, takes a theatrical approach to guiding. We have spoken to him about it in the past. A public bench or a quay wall, should not serve to address a group. Imagine five guides standing on a quay wall giving their explanation. This is not supposed to happen!" "We can't discipline him ourselves because he doesn't actually belong to the official guides' association. I know these things happen due to his enthusiasm. But to take the law into your own hands and throw someone into the water, that's a step too far! Of course, I’m not saying the police have the right to throw someone into the water!" Jo laughs.

Pan American - In Daylight Dub - deeeeeeeep

Our fourth release comes in the form of a collection of rich, pulsating ambient/dub techno from Pan•American - the solo project of post-rock trio Ladbradford's front man Mark Nelson. Drawn to the incredible depth and texture of these tracks, we hope to shine a light on Mark's more exploratory electronic work, reminiscent of Jan Jelenik, Fennesz and Vladislav Delay. Through the Pan•American moniker, Mark has been able to embrace the possibilities of sampling and other musical technologies in order to exercise his interests in more remote genres like dub and techno. This collection comprises Mark's dreamiest, most sumptuous and blissed-out tracks taken from 3 obscure releases on labels traversing Zedelgem, Lon don and Portland - (K-RAA-K)³, Veritcal Form and BSI Records. Across these imprints, their output spans IDM, electronica, lo-fi, experimental dub and beyond and have been a music al home to the likes of Pub, Muslimguaze, and King Jammy and more. Mark's work sits at a confluence of these broad influences, shedding the sound of his post rock past for a more rhythmic, computer-based approach, which culminated in 2002's The River Made No Sound. As ever, the music is an emotional outpouring, progressing slowly through phases between stillness and movement, darkness and light. With a string of recent releases on Longform Editions and his long-term home Kranky, Mark continues to write and perform worldwide at festivals and prestigious venues such as London's Cafe Oto and Public Records in Brooklyn, NYC. The increasingly personal and reflective nature of his music has seen him come full circle to a more organic sound, as exemplified by his latest LP, The Patience Fader.

Hollebeek is a minimal space located in Zedelgem, Belgium, designed by TJIP. The space is revealed through natural materials and tones, specifically in the floors in which traditional tile and stone were used. The kitchen overlooks the garden and pool, which can be opened up to the outdoors via sliding glazed doors. The kitchen island functions as both a prep and serving area.
