I am currently helping out Keir Neuringer and DJ Sniff with making recordings of their improvisation sessions in the Steim studios in Amsterdam. The duo make a very interesting mixture of different styles using Saxophone, tape machines, feedback mixer, turntable and Max/Msp. Think somewhere between free jazz, ambient and hip hop plunderphonics. Impressive stuff!
Back in the Netherlands again. I have been working at NoTam with Aslaug Holgersen for way more time than we thought was possible. I am very grateful for NoTam’s hospitality and their general supercoolness, tusen takk! I managed to spend a lot of time programming a very very big patch in Max/MSP. And got quite some form-part sketches ready for the new piece. The final touches will be done this month. And I hope we can perform it somewhere in the near future.
Currently I am almost 16 hours a day working on even more Max/MSP patches. I am building a polyphonic wavetable/waveshaping synth which is going to sound amazing, believe me! Next to that I dabbled a bit with generative music. And I have some sketches for a new tape-piece lying around.
Next to that my electro-acoustic noise unit with Léon Spek, Ungrund, is going to perform on the 7th of September in our hometown The Hague at the Ground 3 festival. No further details yet…
Next to all this there is some theatre sound jobs as always.
btw: Another huge thanks goes out to Kane McGuire at the Cycling 74 offices for swiftly solving the weird registration problems I had with Max5.
The second half of July I will be having some worktime at Notam in Oslo Norway. I will be working on a new piece for Double Bass and Live Electronics (Max/MSP) with Aslaug Holgersen. There will be a fair amount of improvising involved also.
I will be making quite some new Max patches until that time. I will also be testing some different interfaces to control these patches.
Update: Check out Mammut at the Notam site. Highly recommended and very unconventional!
