I often collaborate with other artists, designers or developers when needed. - [Other news](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/other-news) - Everything that doesn’t quite fit in any of my existing categories in this website, but is still newsworthy. - [Publications](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/media) - Publications by me or me getting published by others… Works both ways. - [DJ](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/dj) - I have been DJ-ing since 1992. Some years ago I started occasionally using the Cette Truc moniker for my DJ activities. And lately Bart and me started using the Tromgeroffel moniker for our back-to-back sessions. The Tromgeroffel duo soon escalated into a DJ collective, together with Jeroen Diepenmaat, Twan Sallaerts and Michael Rhebergen. - [Events](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/events) - Events I host, take part in or am otherwise involved in. - [Kunstenaarcoach](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/kunstenaarcoach) - Since 2010 I am a certified Kunstenaarcoach, catalyst in improvement of creative climate and innovation processes in businesses. - [WILLIE](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/willie) - WILLIE is an artists’ initiative, venue, exhibition space and bar; the number one cultural hangout in Deventer. I’m a longlasting member of this collective and initiate, organize and produce various events (e.g. concerts, expo’s, parties and funny weird stuff) with them. - [Esc.rec.](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/esc-rec) - Esc.rec. is a small record label and platform for adventurous music. And it is mine. Quality standards are high and musical preferences broad. Besides releasing and supporting interesting music, esc.rec. hosts a variety of events, including the ass-crack stage-hack and The Diamond Exchange. Whenever opportunity knocks, esc.rec collaborates with other organizations and labels, such as WILLIE, productiehuis ON, Burgerweeshuis, Lomechanik, Slowlands, N.E.W. and Havenkwartier Deventer. - [Education](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/education) - It seems like a waste not to share knowledge. That’s the main reason I take part in education projects. Rewarding work. - [Poster design](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-2d/poster-design) - I design posters too. Fun! - [Cover design](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-2d/cover-design) - I design album covers quite regularly. My designs are often for the releases om my own record label, but I also take commissions. The design of a cover can seriously affect the perception of music. It’s also the first impression of (potential) listeners. First impressions matter. I rest my case. - [Furniture](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-3d/furniture) - A lot of my 3D design work is (related to) furniture. I’ve always had a fascination for architectural ideas too, but the scale of furniture allows for more personal control, both in design and production. - [Havenkwartier](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/havenkwartier) - Havenkwartier Deventer is the place where I work (and live). For Havenkwartier Deventer I’m also the resident communication & marketing specialist. My focus is on cultural and art-related activity only. For anything related to the development projects in the area, the municipality of Deventer has it’s own officials, with whom I work closely. - [Curating](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/curating) - I sometimes get invited as a guest curator for exhibitions or festivals. I also host/organize concerts, which (for me) is about the same thing. For me these projects function as umbrellas which allow me to convincingly combine and explore several (or all) areas of my expertise. - [Logo design](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-2d/logo-design) - People need logo’s. I’m happy to provide. - [Jee-haw](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/jee-haw) - J’ee-haw! was a multidisciplinairy art duo formed by Jeannette Knigge (my wife) and me. We had a steady stream of art projects and exhibitions from 2002 – 2005. - [Mixcloud](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/dj/mixcloud) - I use Mixcloud to archive recorded dj-sets, mixtapes and such. This way you can easily listen and also find (most of) the titles of the tracks I used. In case you’re interested. - [Light](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-3d/light) - Objects and projects that have to do with light or lighting. - [Architecture](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-3d/architecture) - [Theatre](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-3d/theatre) - [ONE-OFF T-shirts](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/portfolio/design/design-2d/one-off-t-shirts) - [De Perifeer](https://www.harcorutgers.nl/category/projects/de-perifeer) - De Perifeer is a platform for music, art, performance and experiment. An intimate venue and project based residency for artists.
