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:
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!
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
For the second time Todays Art Festival in the Hague has programmed the Structret performance. A project from the Art Science department of the KABK art academy in the city. I was invited to join in again because I was involved in the first performances in 2006.
Last time I took my analogue Doepfer suitcase synth. I however came up with another setup.
This time it’s digital synthesis vs. feedback loops.
The set up consists of a Clavia Micromodular synth played with a midifader box. Processed by a TC Electronic Nova Delay pedal. The feedback loop back into the Clavia synth goes via an Electro Harmonix Bass Big Muff. The Clavia patch consists of four individually controllable fm synthesis networks involving some ring modulation too. Pretty complex stuff (there are 12 sine oscillators & 4 ring modulators involved in total!). So I added some global paramaters to make nice ‘sound mass’ changes possible.
This soundfile is the first test with the final setup. I did a tiny bit of trimming at the end and I compressed it a bit.
Not my best playing I guess, but what the hell….. enjoy.

To my own surprise I am participating in a workshop field recording at Worm in Rotterdam. (thanks Derek!)
The aim is to finish the workshop with a short piece that will be presented next friday (dec. 18th) @ Worm. My composition is well on its way and on tuesday I will have some time at Worm’s excellent studio to tweak some more on the piece.
Time and place of the friday night presentation can be found here..

On September the 7th Ungrund will play the Ground 3 festival. This festival is FREE. The location where we will be performing is not entirely clear to us yet… since the city of The Hague does not have a Leeghwaterstraat. Stay tuned for updates here.
Update: Leeghwaterstraat is not on Google maps.. The street is almost devoured into where the Megastores are now. But the end bit, close to the Gamma store, is still called Leeghwaterstraat. Another mystery solved!
