Azdaya, a graphic score

Notes of a nut. Graphic score in the making. Related to the play: Notes of an idiot / Diary by an idiot, from the Russian writer Gogol. He describes how an insignificant civil servant suffers from delusions of magnanimity.
The name of the monster is Azdaya. It has many heads. It’s goal is destruction.

Performance Neco Novellas

On the Roof: on top of a building in Amsterdam Neco took as om a trip to Mozambique. We heated the rithme of the land the sounds of the wind and the birds, the stories of his grandparents and his dad who was absent. We clapped and sang together. That was really a wonderful experience. Thanks Neco!

Calefax Reed Quintet

A great visitor in my studio last year: Jelte Althuis from the wonderful Calefax Reed Quintet, studying on my graphic scores! Maybe for a future joint event… Calefax is familiar with the experimental approach. They also performed the Garden of earthly delights of Jeroen Bosch: https://youtu.be/h1-gqSPMD3k.

Studio: visit of Nadine Strang, Kobrani master.

Nadine Strang at my studio 2021. She is a Kobranie master. It was great to have Nadine over. She was very interested in my graphic scores and nice to have good conversation about it and how she works with music and the method.

The Kobranie method is a form of music improvisation in which creativity, authenticity comes first, playing with sound and thus becoming the playing person yourself and telling your story through sound.

Elvis and L.Vis

Happy birthday Elvis.
From the project L.Vis. For an exhibition which I joined as lousy impersonator. 😁 With real original blue sued shoes that is.

Spoken word with Wiendelt Hooijer.

It was the pre-opening of Dok du Nord. A great party where I read a tail about the witch of north. While the weather was great and all the visitors were eating and enjoying themselves. So nice to have Wiendelt playing along to enhance the atmosphere! We were wearing a kind of the same hats 😁
