With I didn’t know you, Toon Bosch paints a melancholic and bittersweet slice-of-life about what it means to get to know a loved one. Not just who they are, but also who they are not. About finding out what they mean to you, and what you mean to them. About getting to know yourself through them, and being confronted with each-others self perception. It is the realization that getting to know them is a process that never ends.
For I didn’t know you Toon collaborated on production with Berlin producer and engineer Karl Coutelle.
A videoclip of I didn’t know you is set to be released for the beginning of March.
