 They Would Get Angry Sometimes. Two live versions of the Fury composition. Find the differences ;)
| |||||||||
 The CD Fury, released on Creative Sources Recordings (Jan 2008) contains two works: "Fury (after anger)" and "They would get angry sometimes". "Fury (after anger)" is originally an electronic 5.1 surround composition commissioned by the Sonic Circuits festival 2006 in Washington DC. "They would get angry sometimes" is a derived version, performed live in 2007 at Brown University, Rhode Island (USA) and at the <>TAG Gallery, The Hague (NL). It shares its sounds with Fury, but has a different structure and different movements. More info & reviews here.

 In December 2006 and January 2007 I created the composition Silent (in 7 parts), "Music for late at night, with no wind, and maybe a soft drizzle. Staring out of your window at the empty streets." It is released on CDR on the Fridgesound label. The work is based on a specific synthesis procedure, inspired by James Tenney and programmed in real-time audio-synthesis and algorithmic composition software SuperCollider 3. It is quite different from my live electronics work. If the term wasn`t misused so often I would call it ambient. I like the idea that the music blends with the environment. Definitely influenced by John Hudak, Tim Hecker, Biosphere and Jazzkammer. Please listen with headphones or good speakers. You can buy the full CD at Fridgesound.

 Shackle is Anne LaBerge on flute and samples and Robert van Heumen on laptop. Their aim is to explicity and subtly exploit shackling in both concept and material. "Shackle was a perfect, `nordic` musical contrast. The duo mixed Anne LaBerge`s delicately chosen, beautifully restraint articulations and timbres from across the flute family gamut, with Robert van Heumen`s live processing and interspersing of his trademark, hard edge, and quite unique brand of sample scratching. While i find the latter technique at times somewhat angular, it contrasted here extremely well with the mysterious shimmering quality of much of the music the duo knew to invent. Anne`s striking pose and Robert`s introvert concentration didn`t disguise the fact that they were constantly listening and finely tuned to one another." Daniel Schorno - review of the concert at STEIM`s Micro Jamboree Dec 14 2006
