about
I work in a multidisciplinary approach on a synergy of the audial, the visual and the spatial. This is manifested in different forms of expression: album releases, performances, installations and paintings.
Originally trained as an architect, my perspective is focused on the immersive quality of spatiality in sound and vision, in constructed time and constructed space to a new indefinite space.

To me, sound doesn't just move along a chronological axis. It extends into other dimensions or perspectives, as in tactile and mental spaces. I use sound to create additional spatial layers in the space in which the soundwork is being heard or performed. Creating a spatial consciousness.

My visual work can be subdivided into merely visual paintings and paintings in which sound forms an integral and essential part. These paintings are an on-going search for expression of the characteristics of space and place in a two-dimensional plane.

In my live sound art performances I make use of a merging of projections and improvised sound, in which I search for a synergy of the audial and the visual in a one-off and non-repeatable spatial intervention. The improvised sound is influenced by the space in which the performance takes place.

visual work
My paintings can be subdivided into merely visual paintings and paintings in which sound forms an integral and essential part. The silent paintings are an on-going search for expression of the characteristics of space and place in a two-dimensional plane in which the position of the observer in relation to the painting determines the appearance and disappearance of various planes and structures.
The paintings which have sound add a factor of time, creating a tension between the timelessness of the image and the time determinedness of the sound, which creates an additional layer of context to the visible work, and vice versa.

Machinist: album releases and performances

performances
In my live sound art performances I make use of projections and improvised sound, in which I search for a synergy of the audial and the visual in a one-off and non-repeatable spatial intervention. The sound is influenced by the space in which the performance takes place, as a filter for the soundwaves and as a foundation for the composition.

paume
Besides my work as an artist I'm the co-founder of PAUME.

Platform for Avantgarde & Urban Media Explorations.
PAUME is the child of the built environment and contemporary art and is committed to discovering and presenting the avant-garde of art. We organize concerts, curate events, promote debates and publish records and books. We are convinced that there is a place for contemporary art in our time, provided there is a background and context to every story. As organizers and curators we present art and its context in live dialogue.
