Bernd Brugman (of De Bronstgieters) finally convinced me to join MySpace, by relentlessly harassing me about the advantages. As a result you can now find esc.rec., WILLIE and myself on MySpace. Become our friends!

I have been asked to contribute to MOMI, a weblog about music, founded by Peter Boorsma. I’m trying to do this regularly…

The first results of Hidde van Schie’s audio research are in. Originally being a visual artist, experimenting with different instruments and audio structures has led him to a debut album with a surprisingly ‘visual’ feel. The well chosen titles give small hints for your train of thought. No need for cinema here, just close your eyes…
‘The Quiet Ride Home: Lungs Full Of Mist’ by Hidde van Schie is esc.rec.’s 4th release. Please download it for free!

When I moved from Rotterdam to Deventer it didn’t take me long to hook up with Bart Folmer. We share a somewhat similar taste in music and both know a lot of interesting (unreleased) musicians.
We decided to start with esc.rec., a record label and platform for new, unknown and experimental music. The only criterion for an esc.rec. release is based on our combined personal taste in music. In practical terms this means that we raise our quality standards high while keeping our musical preferences broad.
Besides releasing the music we find interesting, we hope to achieve a select (online) platform where artists, labels, organisations, venues and distributors easily hook up to make good things happen. In order to further stimulate such co-operations, esc.rec. regularly organizes events at different locations where esc.rec. related artists can perform live or interact.

5 Day workshop with theatre group Warner & Consorten in Amsterdam.
“Warner & Consorten is a theatre group that consists of sculptors, musicians, dancers and constructors. Their performances are without dialogue, but communicate in an original visual language, thereby appealing to the spectator’s fantasy. At squares, in streets and in parks, as well as in old factories and other special locations, dancing sculptures, visual music, absurd humour and spectacle catch both the unsuspecting passer-by and the hardcore festival visitor. In the performances, the audience is confronted with itself and with everyday situations and objects: washing socks, riding lantern-posts, dancing on mortar-tubs and improvising in the street with cash machines, fountains and stores. Besides that, music is generated from the weirdest materials: rain pipes, frying pans, plastic milk-jars, plywood saxophones and flower-boxes.
Each performance is intensively prepared in our own working space and still it is never really ‘finished’. Scenes are constantly in development and adjusted to the different environments in which they are played. During the performance we make use of objects and situations that are found at the place itself. Warner & Consorten’s working method is also used in interdisciplinary workshop projects. In these workshops, the participants learn to go beyond their own professional field and to use and transform each other’s material. The result of the improvisations is an abundance of ideas with endless possibilities.”

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.
