The track ‘Plants’ from Gluid‘s new album Twee, (recently released on my label) was selected for the Mind The Gap CD that accompanies Gonzo Circus Magazine. This is the second time one of Gluid’s tracks ends up on a Mind The Gap compilation. Clearly somebody’s paying attention overthere!

Whoop! There it is. NEW 7.0! My record label esc.rec. is a partner in NEW (Nieuwe Electronische Waar), a platform for producers of electronic music in the east of The Netherlands. Just like last year (NEW 6.0) esc.rec. takes care of the free digital release of NEW 7.0.
Or come to the release parties in Merleyn and Burgerweeshuis and get the NEW 7.0 CD for free!
10 February: Merleyn, Nijmegen
11 February: Burgerweeshuis, Deventer
And on a personal note: NEW has come a long way this year. Quality improvement in so many different areas! Better music selection, better design, better support for producers (including a sold out conference last December), more valuable partners, more showcases, etc…
I can now honestly say I’m glad I pushed forward to improve NEW, trying to get the best out of this collaboration. It’s starting to show. Which makes me proud that esc.rec. is a partner in all of this. This NEW thing is going to be big. Best believe we are on our way!

In retrospect the previous Diamond Exchange was a testcase for several new features in the format of The Diamond Exchange (read here to find out what that format is).
Because this edition took place in two locations we needed to provide a stream which was audible in both locations. Audio quality was excellent and there was a bonus: the participants now needed to chat with eachother to communicate, which made their conversation more accessible to the audience, a definite plus! On top of that, the chat provided a way to document The Diamond Exchange. Just read this pdf.
So. For following editions I’ll be looking to provide chat functionality no matter what. And being able to link two locations together through a Diamond Exchange may also prove te be a very usefull and interesting feature. I can see the possibilities. Can you?

On January 29 the exhibition about social media I curated for Kunstenlab closed. Today I updated this website with new content for the last time.
You can find a nice selection of pictures taken by Kunstenlab and me on Flickr and a video by Egbert Scheffer on YouTube. Looking back I’m really content with the way this project turned out. In some degree it even changed my own perception of social media. I think ‘#isthemessage’ succeeded in the multitude of goals I set out at the start, although I would have expected it to gain a bit more media attention then it actually did.
I would like to thank Kunstenlab for their invitation and support, and all participating artists for their work.

Egbert.EGD is one of the artists participating in #isthemessage, the exhibition about social media I curated for Kunstenlab Deventer. He has proven to be creative in using this exhibition to his advantage, utilizing several interactive installations (like the Dead Drop, the printer and the Repudo Kunstuitleen) in the exhibition as promotional tools. And now he’s created a surprise promotional video and posted it on YouTube. Looks great! Thank you Egbert.
You can still visit this exhibition. It ends January 29.
