Three pieces especially designed for the soundsystem of the Planetarium in Amsterdam (6 speakers), which were performed on the World Wide Video Festival (2001).
The first piece, called Concretia is based on concrete sounds and is inspired on the cut-up technique of the early ‘story telling’ montage piece of Pierre Henry and Pierre Schaefer, who founded the musique concrete movement in the early 1960s . The second piece Fireworks has a rhythmical structure inspired on fireworks and explosions. It was originally made for the entrance of Paradiso (place for pop concerts) at the New Year’s party of 2000.

The piece has, unlike Concretia, a very loose, phychedelic character, with very little ‘hard-cut’ moments. Also the movement between the speakers was programmed to give the audience an experience of disorientation are some short (in stereo) of a soundpiece, which I made for the staircase of the Rietveld Akademie (Amsterdam).
