Uhmmm… is an interactive sound art installation. Every time you speak in the microphone, a deep voice starts mumbling in your headphones, making it extremely hard to speak coherently. The voice stops mumbling when you stop speaking.

This grave monument will be produced only once and granted to the first diseased person, who registered for the ZZZZ-monument, if the relatives of the person in question have been made familiar with this last will, and choose to contact J’ee-haw! in due time. The registered persons receive a document to be included with their last will.
“ZZZZ-monument is to be carried out in stainless steel and will be 80 cm high. Introducing name, date and maybe a personal message is possible and is to be decided in consultation with the relatives. ZZZZ-monument is designed by J’ee-haw! and will be manufactured for production costs, but only if both members of J’ee-haw! are still alive at that time. Placement and transport of the ZZZZ-monument are to be entirely paid by the relatives, as well as the possible (re)adjustments and maintenance of the monument. It is recommended to inform if placement of such a derogatory grave monument is possible at the cemetery of your choice. We hope it won’t be necessary to produce your ZZZZ-monument anytime soon, but we do hope you win…”

Lichtdruk (Light Pressure) is a light made of a found object. I’m not sure what the object is exactly, but it strongly reminded me of a device used for measuring pressure, hence the title.
Price: 75 euro.

J’ee-haw! Compact Disc is a cd-r filled with 13 tracks of long silences, that occasionally get rudely interupted by the yell j’ee-haw!
However strange, this idea appears to have an endless list of possibilities. Because there is so much silence on this disc, you might even forget that you are in fact playing a cd, and it becomes impossible to predict the time of the next yell. The random or ’shuffle’ function of your cd player makes the unpredictability of this disc even greater.
It functions as an incentive, a gentle but firm interruption, it keeps you (and others) on edge, it is an unintended accent in any conversation, any occupation or any other interfering sound source. I bet you too can think of one or two applications for this fine disc right now…
J’ee-haw! presented J’ee-haw! Compact Disc for the first time at ‘Vet’ (Fat), a group exhibition in gallery Zechs, The Hague. We used a livesize billboard of a bodybuilder cowboy to present our disc to the unsuspecting public. The expo came with fatty french fries and phat beats by me…
J’ee-haw! Compact Disc is available through esc.rec. for only 5 euro.

Best of both worlds. I can look at a website from a design point of view AND from a technical point of view. I often collaborate with other artists, designers or developers.
