The Secret of Easter Island by Jeff Berry - DVD
Before the Bum discovered rum, he discovered the secret of Easter Island… and filmed it in an award-winning comedy short, shot on location in Rapa Nui with an old wind-up 16mm camera. Almost 25 years later, Sven Kirsten—author of The Book of Tiki, the tome that kick-started the retro Polynesian Pop culture revival—still calls it “the only true tiki movie ever made.” (And he should know.)
CD, Album, Signal Through the Waves - Plus Instruments Released 2016 on Blowpipe records (Import)
Truus' long standing project "Plus Instruments" release. Signal Through the waves
Quote Chain D.L.K. website by Steve Mecca on 2016-07-03:
"the title track "Signal Through the Waves". This little gem relies heavily on a distinctive sample & hold synth riff, a ring modulated chordal descending chordal progression and Sclavunos's snazzy drumming. Truus's voice is at her most appealing on this track, and the lyrics are great too. This track alone makes the disc a worthy purchase."
Recorded at the Ranch, Escondido, CA, USA and Jolly Studio & Anvil FX Studio, São Paulo, Brazil - 2014 / 2015
Mixed & arranged by Truus de Groot & Paulo Beto Mastered by Peer Rave - Spiritual Advisor Theo Van Rock

CD, Album, Devil May Care by Blue Beast - on Dewclaw Ditties 2016
Blue beast is the brainchild of Truus de Groot (Plus Instruments) and Miguel Barella, both seasoned veterans of the experimental electronic / noise world. Their new album “Devil May Care” features 12 original songs. Truly a match made in Brazil and realized via cyber waves. Released in 2016
Cover Art by Rik van Iersel
Quote BY Rui Eduardo Paes for Jazz PT:
"You may ask: what does this have to do with jazz? There is a lot, not only because Barella has been one the most exploratory and creative musicians of the experimental circuit, but because De Groot's voice has more blues, more soul and more jazz in it than most of the jazz singers out there, despite the obvious references to Lene Lovich and Siouxsie Sioux. The album "Devil May Care" is a constant surprise and every next theme convinces us that we have something precious going on no matter which name you give to it".
