"Music is anything we call music"
Misha Mengelberg (composer/pianoplayer)
"What is the correct note?
The correct note is always another one!"
Louis Andriessen (The Netherlands first professor/composer)
To me music is very important. Music with a capital M.
The M
of More Music.
Or More, More, More as in the title of the live
album of the Tröckener Kecks.
Making music by myself or just listening to it. As long as there's music.
I like to make sound-scapes with computers.
As can be seen on this newspaper picture of a work I did
together with Pieter Zandvliet
A multimedia 'Christmas tree'.
The text ran: "Ask an artist to respond to the term Christmas tree and anything can happen. The result can even be an object with computers."
Artist mind you.

Or in this picture of a computer JukeBox playing a selection of music from www.mp3.com. |

In short "I like to mess about with sounds and computers."
You can even do that via the internet. Here is an on-line example.
Or download the 12 tone instant composer
that would have made Schönberg jealous.
(Please use the antivirus scanner !!).
Who doesn't like to play a CD, record or nowadays an mp3? So do I.
Al those CD's and records that
I've been buying all my life, add up to a huge pile.
I wouldn't quite call it a collection.
Collectionneurs have collections of tens of thousands copies. I definitively haven't got those numbers of
records. But it's quite an heap.
Look here (in Dutch).
Here you can find an ever changing number of high- lights from my collection (in Dutch).
I like to take pictures.
Here you can
see a selection.
From time to time I make ceramic objects (definitively no jars or bowls).
Just messing about with
your hands in clay seems a way to compensate for my technical work hours.
So it seems.
In the end you
need a lot more technical skills to get a reasonable result.
Here you
can see a selection.
As it's officially known. Drawings and Paintings.
And there are a lot more options than just a pencil
and paper!.
