Geluid op de Brink and new atelier

In an attempt to keep you up to date, I decided to let you in on some of the things I’m working on right now…

Besides the usual web design assignments there are some other major projects and changes in the making.

For the last two years Bart Folmer and I have been working on the creation of a sound art project named ‘Geluid op De Brink’ (Sound on De Brink). It is going to be a seven year project in which we invite sound artists to create a specially designed sound art installation for De Brink, a large and very long square in the centre of Deventer. Bart and me will also be the artists responsible for the first installation: ‘Zee op De Brink’ (Sea on De Brink). This installation simulates the sound of actual waves moving over the complete length of De Brink. Sitting on the terraces will be like sitting on the beach… We hope to see this installation in action this summer already, but at this time we are still very much in the process of aquiring funding and support for our project. Nevertheless we have high hopes for summertime in Deventer!

Starting next week I’ll be officially moving into my new studio in Het Havenkwartier (for which I will also start building the new website pretty soon). My present studio under my home is fine but not really suited for dusty, messy or smelly work. This new studio is more suitable for well… making furniture for example! I’m very much looking forward to this change in working environment…
