lmrfrms live @ notation 21 festival in Amsterdam.
will be playing a concert with the improvisation outfit lmrfrms (or Lemuriformes). Roel van Doorn- circuit board, Julie Dassaud- painting, Laurens van der Wee – live coding via network from Lithuania (!!!), and myself on a beautiful EMS VCS3 synthesizer. besides the technical attraction of having Laurens coding with us from Vilnius, we will be trying out new rules for our improvisation game in which Julie conducts and sets the level of our involvement depending on the lines she paints.
in the image below, Roel and I examine the performance space and express our critical opinions.

(continuation of the same project which appeared in Zaal100, Amsterdam last month), this concert will host Roel van Doorn on DIY electronics, Laurens van der WEE doing projected visual live coding, Julie Dassaud will paint and myself on syths. usually the result of these coucerts is very ghostly noise structures. this time we put some more emphesis on the visual aspect of the show as well as the musical.

another concert will take place in EKKO, Utrecht on December 15th
this one will have much more dancefloor inclinations and drum machine galore! highly recommended.

Live electronics @ Zaal 100, Amsterdam.
a collaboration concert with Laurens van der Wee as a part of an HKU evening. Featuring audio-visual improvisations with MS20, Korg Polysix, laptop and radio transmission.
this performance is one stage in a continuing effort as a part of a growing interest in noise and live electronic improvisation.
with every performance, the piece evolves, becoming more expressive and fluent. hopefully we will have many more chances to perform this way.
