I have uploaded two recordings of my Dilemma piece. It’s a concept in which improvisation and indeterminacy within compositional boundaries are being investigated. The first recording is from 2007 and is performed by the American flutist Clifford Dunn at KMT, Hilversum. The second recording is performed by clarinetist Willeke de Laak at Theater Kikker, Utrecht. To the latter samples of Clifford’s playing have been added and are triggered in the same manner as the two voices(which are my mother’s and my own voice by the way.

A first mix of the Sony sessions recording of “About a Statue, a Woman and a Man”. Vocalist Aleksandra Popovska and pianist Patrick Bossink have joined me for this recording. A video registration will soon follow. “About a Statue…” is part of the larger song project “Il Faut Manger”. If everything goes according to plan, the first Il Faut Manger EP will be released in september.

Just came back from the Abundance festival in Karlstad. Our performance of mix[ing]redients was well received – we got interesting feedback about how our piece deals with control. Furthermore we also gave a workshop in which we showed a small interested group how we use solar sound modules and FM transmitters in mix[ing[redients and how they establish a connection between movement, light and sound.
Mediabicycle project “Volle Band” (Full Tire in Dutch) has begun! We got funding from the AFK and the Bertus Aafjes Foundation. “Volle Band” is a collaboration with video artists Daan Dirk de Jong, Didier Jansen & philosopher/bicycle repair man Olle Kruyt. Read more about the project here.
The 14th of June I will leave with the [0pen]mode collective to perform mix[ing[redients and give a workshop at the Abundance-festival in Karlstad, Sweden. Real exciting stuff.

On the 26th of March I performed with the [0pen m0de]collective our installation-like performance mix[ing]redients on the Test!-festival in Zagreb. You can watch it here. The video quality is very bad, but you can get an idea of the relationship between the movement and the sound.
Bakery Attack and WhiteSquare/GreenCircle are two new tracks-in-progress. Please listen to them and give me notes! WhiteSquare/GreenCircle has been created in collaboration with Patrick Bossink.
