Concertzender

Yesterday I was on Dutch radio in a program called The Art of Electronics, produced by the Concertzender. In 45 minutes I talked about my work but mostly played my music. The program was centered around music magazine Gonzo (Circus)'s publication of a collection of soundwalks. My soundwalk Like Harry, made in collaboration with Simone de Jong, is part of that collection.

You can still here it here.

Chen/Minton/VanHeumen at OCCII

Last weekend May 18 2013 I performed a set with two great vocalists: Phil Minton and Audrey Chen. Listen to an excerpt below. This makes me once again realize I should work harder to get ABATTOIR back on stage again!


Money For Your Whale at Hilvaria Studio's

On May 12 2013 Money For Your Whale performed at the Hilvaria Studio's. Below an excerpt from that concert.

Shackle video's from Brazil

In September Shackle was on tour in New Zealand, Australia and Brazil. Below two recently unearthed video's. The first one recorded during out concert in Centro Cultural São Paulo, the second one a compilation of our performance for OIRADIO.


Shackle's contribution to Palma Ars Acustica

VPRO's Cafe Sonore has sent in Shackle's track Zipper to Palma Ars Acustica. Zipper was also broadcasted on April 27 2013 during Cafe Sonore. This post is too late for that broadcast, and we weren't selected for the price, so I guess this post's only purpose is documentary. Still you're reading this, so if you're curious: Zipper can be be found on the Shackle Stick.

Shackle at KISS2013

Shackle has been invited for a concert and artist talk at KISS2013. No, this has nothing to do with the glamrock band (although it could, with my history). It is the yearly Kyma Symposium, held in Brussels this time, from 12-15 September. Should be a lot of nerding out. Great!

Like Harry in Gonzo (circus)'s Klankstappen

Gonzo (circus) has collected 8 soundwalks for download. Like Harry, the soundwalk I made in collaboration with Simone de Jong, is one of them. I'm very glad with this opportunity to make the music available to a wider audience!


Money For Your Whale new album OUT NOW

Money For Your Whale, my new band with Albert van Veenendaal, has released its first album named Twelve-Twelve-Twelve. Consisting of 12 tracks and recorded on December 12 2012, we're releasing the album in 3 installments of 4 tracks. The first installment consists of a preparation object(*) and a download code and is available as of NOW. You can buy it through PayPal for €5 or by bank transfer for only €4 (email me for details).

(*) a preparation object is one of those neat little objects Albert uses to prepare the piano

We've also built a new website west28.nl/mfyw/ and have teamed up with visual artist Monique Besten for the imagery.
