Among my
noisy projects are also some collaborations with other artists. These
projects focus on the experimental and live performance side of music
making. Often I make use of my own circuit bend toys as they
are capable of producing unexpected sounds and they are very hands
on.... |

The first time I ever
exposed one of my noisy creations was at the Punct expo called "doe wat je
zegt dan lieg je niet" in english: do as you say, then you don't lie...
exposition in july
2002 ... My sound carrier installation got it's place
underneath the stairs leading into the basement, where it was doing it's
best to produce bleepy-chirpy sounds.
Punct was located at
the end of the street where I lived with my brother and I had
amazing inspiring nights there with him ! Thanx to Punct for all the
inspiration, facilitation and celebration

The first sort
of project was done for "De Verschijning"
(the appearance) and this
was also the moment when the name toysfornoise was used for the first
time. That night my Sound
Carrier was enthusiastically riding its circles and being noisy while I
was producing accompanying sounds with my other toys. It was a very
experimental and interesting night with loads of great feedback. During
the night several other performances were scheduled and they all turned
out to be very nice indeed, ranging from Olivier as the mermaid in a
bathtub with little microphones attached to the outside of the
bathtub, allowing an amplifier to indulge the spectator in an
underwater-backtoyourchildhood-experimentwithallyougot moment when the
mermaid gently starts to rub her hands on the porcelain, slowly
squeeking, shamefully slipping sounds.. I didn't get much of
the boca raton performance, too busy setting up my toys for the next
joyride as they had to be quiet during the other performances. Another
fascinating thing was the rammelritmes machine, and offcourse it was
magical for me and my brother Finsent to have our parents there,
witnessing the event, slowly getting a glimpse of the strange world we
sometimes wander of into... Finsent played his records that night just as
he liked them and so did we........... The whole thing can truelly be
called the appearance ! Thanx for having us ! Just click on the link for more info,
I promise, it;s short to the point info.
No recordings were
made that night, unfortunately !

In 2006 I
did a project together with Typhique under the name: The Circuit
Band. We were
invited by 7" recordings who organise the 7"
project nights at various locations in Holland. We did a 1 hour live set
at Worm in Rotterdam and you can check out the recording of that live set
at wormstation: for
the live recording: www.wormstation.nl
then click
on STAGE, and finally look for the box with SEVEN and when you hit
this box, you have arrived......

That night I also
displayed my Sound Carrier, it was actually the first installation to
have been displayed in the
"wardrobe" |

on the 18th may 2007 I
performed in the Hall of Fame during our Wevie Stonder night we had with
wirwar... thanx to the wevieman bas for the invite !.... I played that
night as the circuit bandit, the actual first time this name was used, and
as my dear brother came up with this one, it was an extra special
thingie...
After the band played,
and the entertainment was being moved from the big room to the new and
unused "small room" there was some mobile noisy guidance (actually
it was nice sofware demo going too quick too handle ... )this
did move the crowd into the new room, after some minutes of
laptoppian mobile noise I activated my Sound Carrier and my
toytrain and for some time they provided sonic entertainment as they
were being tortured by rays of white light and strobing
"bike-lights" I actually got some great ideas from this birthday,
literally that is ! |
