What’s up?

Well I am currently in the process of moving to Oslo, Norway. I am however, besides all the hectic things involved with moving to another country, busy on a new electronic piece. I hope to finish this up as soon as possible even though my studio is still mostly boxed up….
I in the meantime have also already done my first gig with my solo-side project Null Void Order at Café de Vinger in The Hague.
A great chance to test this new format that takes me into some new sonic territory.
I also upgraded my Souncloud account, you can expect some new music there soon!!

In the meantime:

Null Void Order

My new Drone/Dark Ambient project launched its first release “Cheel Ghar”.
A 2 track album which lasts for 32 minutes. Get it or listen to it at
Also for sale as a professionally duplicated limited edition audio cassette!

Holgersen & van der Loo gig @Studio Loos, The Hague

Double bass and electronics duo Holgersen & van der Loo have done a gig at the Wonderwerp series at Studio Loos in The Hague on the 25th of April. There is a recording of this gig and we will put it on our soundcloud as soon as it is mixed!
Thanks to everyone involved and attending, it was a blast!

Concerts & more

It has been a while (again!). Totally forgot to mention that my duo with Aslaug Holgersen is fully up and running again. We have a 21 minute long track up on soundcloud (listen below!) and are performing it on a regular basis. In oktober we had a concert at the 2nd edition of Kate Moore’s Handmade Homegrown concert series at Theater Dakota in The Hague. There is a little interview up on their site also.
Coming up next is a concert at Muziekkamer Assen concert series on the 9th of December. I will also be handling the electronics for the other pieces on that concert. The as yet Untitled piece at Assen will be a shorter version of what you hear below. It is rather funny though that the piece has been credited to me alone, there is as much of Aslaug’s input to the piece. Untitled(oct2012) by Holgersen & Van der Loo

Recording Keir Neuringer & DJ Sniff @ Steim

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!

Bach Bukowski Review

NRC Handelsblad, a big newspaper in Holland, publiced a review of the CD “Triple” I recorded for Willem van Ekeren. The review is not online on NRC’s site but can be read here.

Listen to some fragments of the songs here.

Carlos Iturralde, Aslaug Holgersen & Keir Neuringer

I have recorded about two hours of material for the free improvisation trio of these 3 excellent musicians. The premixes have been made, the selection process will start now. The final result will be released on Processed recordings, the small label I run with Léon Spek. We are all very excited about this as yet unamed project.

More info later…

Willem van Ekeren/Bach Bukowski

I recently recorded a 3 song (mini)cd for singer/piano-player Willem van Ekeren. Willem combines Bach’s Wohltemperiertes Klavier with the poetry of American writer Charles Bukowski

Tonight is the pre-presentation of this disc at 21.00 hrs in sociëteit de Burcht, Burgsteeg 14 in Leiden. Which we also used to record the cd.

For those that don’t know Willem’s work here’s a recording that Dutch broadcaster VPRO did of him several years ago.
