Radio as performance, below an example of a program specifically made for a group of exhibition visitors, that just ‘left the exhibition’ in a bus… communication was kept by sms and (telephonic) email. The show could be heared in the bus and online (movie by Sander Veenhof).

Soundscape & Radioplays

The art world is fascinating for me in its mix of elitarian and populistic outlooks, its shabby financial constructions, its clientelism and its ‘grandeur’, but also its sincere initiatives at the base. Still, it seems one of the few places where people can realise their imagary to the utmost. These contradictions fascinate me and i try to process them in performances, installations and sound works, which i intend to exhibit or broadcast, and ‘live meetings’ with (mostly) coming up artists in a radio setting.

Abstractly spoken, RADIO is used as a medium to create interactive communities; that means that radio is not used in the traditional one way mass medium approach, but as a means to involve artists and to ’stir up’ intellectual processes. I create and explore networks, a process that evolves in- and outside the radio studio.

Ok, enough writing! Below you can listen to a soundscape, The Lonely Dog…

‘The Lonely Dog’ is an associative radio play focusing on daily ’sound fields’ in public space. The evolving of global media culture, the presence of multiple languages in advertising, on radio and television and the way this influences the ’sound fields’ was a starting point for this work. I used field recordings, audio tracks of (my own and others’) movies, samples etc.
