New esc.rec. release!

There’s a new esc.rec. release! Ambi is a relatively short album (call it EP if you will) by Transfolmer. The sentiment in his music almost borders the obscene and yet, this third Transfolmer album on esc.rec. holds a rare quality; it’s timeless. It could have been made years ago or yesterday, who knows. This album is also completely instrumental, which is a first for Transfolmer. Without Transfolmer’s dark voice to guide us, his sound reaches a higher abstraction level and is more open to personal interpretation. Less song, more scape.

This album is only available as a paid download, but you can listen to a stream of the whole thing for free if you like. Check it here!

More OE-DA!

Some time ago I designed this logo and website for OE-DA! (Overijselse Erfgoed Design Award). Today (Wednesday October 20, 17:00) the winners of OE-DA! 2010 will be anounced in Museum Twentsewelle in Enschede. You’re invited! The OE-DA! publication ‘Over Erfgoed en Design’ is presented the same day.

I was asked to design the OE-DA! Prize Cup (and some of those larger than life cheques) to present to the OE-DA! winners. So here’s the sneak preview:

It’s made out of polished silver and wood. I’m quite proud to say that I did most of the silverwork myself. Many thanks to Jeannette Knigge at KunstGoud for showing me how, providing all the necessary help, tools and sponsoring.

Update: And the winner is… (drumroll)… Jasper Hilkhuijsen with his game ‘Rijksmonumentenjacht’! Here he is (with the OE-DA! Prize Cup) on RTV Oost:

New esc.rec. release: Phonica

There’s a new esc.rec. release out! And it’s special. For this release esc.rec. teamed up with MobileVideoNet, an artist initiative that focuses on the possibilities of art, mass media and public distribution. It operates at the frontier of mobile phone art productions and alternative public distribution. In a joined effort we created the first interactive audiovisual release for mobile phones ever!

The works respond to changes in battery level, signal strength and time, which effects both audio and image.

The selection of interactive audiovisuals can now be previewed and, during 2010, ordered via our SMS text message service 2211 (only available in The Netherlands). The interactive audiovisuals will be internationally available for download soon.

Pioneering audiovisual works were created for this release by Garçon Taupe, Radboud Mens, Monofoob, Robert Witt and AvoidAudio.

June 19 – 20: Atelierroute Deventer

From May 29 until June 27, 82 Deventer artists (including me) present themselves at the Salon in the Bergkerk, Deventer. View some documentation of my work here. In the weekend of 19/20 June, 62 of these artists (including me) also open their studio for the public in the Atelierroute. Both Salon and Atelierroute are a part of Toegang Vrij, organised by Kunstenlab once every two years.

Opening my studio for the public is always a good excuse to tidy up I guess… Other artists opening their studio in Havenkwartier this year: Aukje Grouwstra (Baufrau), Femke Teussink, Elise van de Linden, Margot Olde Loohuis and Babet Olde Weghuis. Well worth it!

Open: Saturday June 19 – Sunday June 20, 12:00 – 17:00 hrs. All participating artists are mentioned in a free magazine, including their studio adresses and a map (see pictures below).
