OfficeR released a 'Recording the grain' on +3db. There's a review on KindaMuzik (in Dutch).

Recording the Grain is doordrongen van vrije jazz. Koen Nutters, Dirk Bruinsman, Morten J Olsen, Sakir Oguz Buyukberber, Jeff Carey en Robert Van Heumen treden in muzikale dialoog en dit leidt tot spannende experimenten. Actie en reactie vinden elkaar. Spanning en eenvoud gaan hand en hand. Melodieën ontwikkelen zich en gaan over in andere structuren. Recording the Grain vormt zo een goed bewijs dat binnen de wereld van vrije jazz en improvisatie nog interessante experimenten mogelijk zijn.

And a review by Frans de Waard for Vitalweekly:

Office-R(6) is a sort of big band, in which North meets South and West meets East. Morten Olsen on percussion, Koen Nutters on bass and structure, Robert van Heumen on laptop (running LiSa), Jeff Carey on laptop (with Super Collider), Sakir Oguz on Buyukberber and bass clarinet and Dirk Bruinsma on soprano and baritone sax. These people work together in various combinations under the big banner of N-Collective. From what I gather from the information they operate in strict improvisation mood. It seems without any post editing. Acoustic and electronic meet up in a great way. A great way that needs a lot of concentration to fully grasp what they are doing, as this is certainly not easy listening music. Hectic, nervous, intense. Sometimes its hard to tell what is what around and that is something that is a great quality of this. Highly demanding and highly rewarding music. (FdW)

I'm currently reading Arthur Japin's book 'De overgave' ('The surrender') about a colonist family being slain by indians in Texas in 1836, and the search for the grandmother for her kidnapped grandchild. Told mainly from the perspecitive of 'Granny', and based on a true story, I constantly feel sympathy for the suffering of the woman, while at the same time I get shivers from the injustice being done to the indians and their culture. Fascinating how Japin can make you bounce back and forth between those 'two sides', it illustrates the big dilemma and deals with the responsibility we have (or have not?) for the actions of your ancestors. I haven't finished yet, but this morning I read an article on Alternet on Thanksgiving, on how America celebrates people who've massacred almost the total indigenous indian population on the continent. I get very sad on how theses kinds of injustices still go on today in situations like Israel/Palestine, and how also 'my country' has performed atrocities in the past, and got away with it. How to deal with that?

There's a video online with the short set I performed with John Ferguson last week at STEIM's Open Studio.

I've been on tour with ABATTOIR, my duo with cellist/vocalist Audrey Chen. Incidentally extended with Bas van Koolwijk on visuals. We played in Theater Kikker, Utrecht (NL) with Bas, then Brighton, for a big group of art students, and London, The Macbeth, organised by Gabriel Prokofiev (yes, grandson of..) as a duo. The next day brought us to Ostrava/Opava in the Czech Republic, and the final concert was in Bydgoszszcz in Poland. Always a pleasure to play a week in a row with the same person, things get more tight. The last show was great.

And we came up with the following explosure of my name: Raw Output Before Elemental Redirection of Time. Cool na?
