Uncloud 2020 is a wrap! I can’t really describe how much fun I had, how good the vibe was with all the people I already knew or met, or how interesting all the works, performances and artists were… You should have been there and if you didn’t, you should be there next year!
For more info and pictures of my work panOptical that was exhibited at the Uncloud festival exposition, check here!
Yesterday was a magical night! The composition turned out great, and so did the other pieces of my fellow @destaandegolf composers! Thanks everybody for dropping by, means a lot to me and all of of us!!
After some thinking I came up with this logo design to put on my business cards. Got some questions for this lately so I needed to create one. Credits go to Giselle Jongbloed for realising it!
The word is out! I’m working on a site-specific installation at the former Pieter Baan Centrum in Utrecht for the Uncloud Festival expo. Exciting venue, amazing works from a lot of other artists, be sure to come by and check it all!
And of course the festival itself and the Modulation opening concert are some of the things you can’t miss! The very best of Utrecht concentrated in a week of music, sound, installations, workshops, etc. Just be there!
Recently I got an invitation from Tim Walther to come over with my modular and make a demovideo with the Timetosser he developed. This device matches perfectly with the beats I normally make.
In short, it is a delay device with a delay comparable to the one in the Elektron Octatrack, but obviously more compact and in my opinion more intuitive and flexible. It needs some learning, but this the results make it worth while.
I hope that I can integrate it into my live performance setup.

Some months ago, I did a 15 minute performance with Ableton, eurorack modular and a Waldorf Blofeld. It was the first time I combined these tools into a hybrid setup to get the most out of my hardware, and to achieve the productional level I desire. Enjoy!
Together with Julius van IJperen en Dirge Seçil Kuran at the Speelklok Museum, Utrecht. Here we performed an intro piece for the presentation of the Cultuurstelsel. This is an advice on the policy of the Council for Culture to the Ministry of Education, Culture and Science for the period of 2021 to 2024.
This etude is made in the analog studio for the Sonic Design class at University of the Arts Utrecht. Assignment was to make a multiplied feedback patch based on the picture in the video.
Used System:
Synton Holland Modular
Roland System 100
ARP 2600
Eurorack Modular (Erica Synths, Doepfer, Livestock Electronics, MFB)
Translations between analog audio and video signals gone right/wrong. The signals don’t understand each other because they work in different ways, but also have a lot in common.
The 0.X series are performances that all have nearly the same starting point.
I was invited to do a modular performance at the opening event of the Willem Twee Studios in Den Bosch.
