I am working with Attakkalari on a dance performance, Chronotopia, which will have its premiere at the Attakkalari Biennial 2009 in February 2009. My role in this project is interaction design, specifically the development of an interactive light “grid” system.
It will be shown at the Ranga Shankara theatre in Bangalore. Further Indian tourdates in February are still to be confirmed.
I was interviewed by Kassen at Radio Tonka, on December 24th, where I played a short livecode set live, and we also played some older works of mine.
Kassen notes:
Click “Speel dit programma af” (Meaning “play this program”). Confusingly this is a mp3 that encapsulates a MS playlist that in turn contains a mp3. It’s a bit dodgy, that system, but VLC is able to deal with it. I think the point of doing it that way is to make sure you can only stream it, not download the file directly. Sigh.
On Monday 22nd of December, I will do a little livecode performance in Cafe De Vinger in The Hague (close to the Stadhuis and Public Library). The evening starts at 8pm and features a host of other interesting performances and DJ sets.

On October 31st and November 1st, we will show – in New York at the Asia Society – a preview of “City of Paper”, a dance performance with Yin Mei and Sangjija, directed by Chris Salter. I am involved doing sound design and interaction design; lights are by Harry Smoak, video by Brett Bergmann, further sound design by Daniel Grigsby, and technical development for the sensors was done by Joseph Malloch, Mark Marshall, Rodolphe Koehly and me…
My dissertation “On Wave Field Synthesis and electro-acoustic music, with a particular focus on the reproduction of arbitrarily shaped sound sources” is now finally online available:
It has been 20 years since WFS was invented and this is celebrated at the AES in Amsterdam, from May 17th to 20th, by an elaborate demonstration of WFS using the Game of Life system, featuring works from many institutes that occupy themselves with WFS. There will be a WFS version of the composition “Déneigement” (created for the concert in St. Etienne in a multichannel version).
May 16th to 18th there will be a workshop on interfacing with transient objects at Okno, followed by an exhibition of the Periperceptoidae Dendriformis, from May 17th to May 31st.
During the Kunstroute Wunseradiel in May several sonobotanic plant models will be exhibited. This will be every sunday afternoon in May in the centre of the village where I was born and raised.
We will perform Schwelle at the EXIT festival in Creteil, near Paris, on March 28th and 29th, 2008.
