2022:
December:
So funny how my plants are exploring my room. It seems that they like it somehow, or maybe they are trying to escape. Who knows, but they look quite content in their
self-chosen path.

Finished my automated 8 channel audio patch in pure data 0.53 (with the external Else library). This I will use for the backgroundsounds for my radioplay. The voices I will fill in manually, to be able to be more precise and because they are not moving around so wildly (since that sounds too unnatural in my experience).
Click to watch a video of the result so far on bitchute (7 min 17):
In the first patch with the audiometers I have made a fully automated
version, random numbers are switching random speakers at random moments
on and off. Although you see 16 channels, there are actually 8. The
extra 8 channels are virtual ones, these I use in the 2nd patch. I am
splitting a stereo file in 2, adding to channel 2 a reverb varying from
0 to 90 and back, with random stops with different lengths in between.
This makes the signal more spatial.
In the 2nd automation patch, the order and combination of speakers is determined, whereas the timing is constantly changing. I have made 12 presets, differing from 1 at a time, 2 at a time, 3 at a time, and 4 at a time. 10 presets are randomly timed, and 2 of them have an accelerator, varying from 1000 milliseconds to 100 milliseconds and back, with time-delays in between. This means that the route stays the same, but that the timing is constantly speeding up, or slowing down (between 100 ms and 1000 ms).
In
the 2nd patch I am using the extra (virtual) 8 channels (I mentioned
already) with a time-delay, this is actually the 2nd mono-signal,
following the first mono-signal via the same route of speakers, with a
time delay of 700 milliseconds, to prevent that all speakers are too
many times in the same moment silent. So each speaker receives the 2
mono-signals directly
after each other. This makes the presets a little bit more unexpected
as well, because of fading out times, and delay times. This I have done
on purpose, to make it more dynamically, not too predictable.
A random counter switches between the different presets, and disconnects the random timer when one of the accelerators are activated. By recording directly to the harddisc, an 8-channel soundfile is generated, with a smooth fade in and fade out of 2 seconds at the beginning and end of the file, and of course all the sound-fragments have fade ins and outs as well, albeit with different lengths. Of course the minimum and maximum timings (the range of the random generators) can always be adjusted.
In addition this patch can be played live as well (for instance with a midi-controller). It is so great to play around with this stuff and I am proud that I managed to program this on my own, without any help and that it works exactly as I wish, without errors or stack overflows, and in my own logic.

Took a long weekend off, cycled through the area I am living in: to Venhuizen, to Schoorl, to Heemskerk and finally Wijk aan Zee.
I performed in the meantime a succesful experiment with my self-baked wonderful sourdough bread. I found out that it could survive
perfectly in holiday circumstances, being alive with its sourdough culture. In daytime it could bake off in my 30 degrees Celcius oven tent,
(or at the back of my bicycle) and during nighttime it was capable of absorbing moisture and even rise. No fungus, or dried out signs, nothing,
it kept its excellent taste, smell and look.
The ingredients are: Rye, flaxseed, coriander, cia seed, hempseed, dandelian root, fennel seed and milk thistle seed and (filtered) water of course.
A noise-power bread that kept me cycling whole day long. Soon I wil make a video how to make this bread.

Downloaded a trial of a software synth developed by Tracktion, called Novum, to experiment with more layers
of background sounds for my radioplays. To make the sounds more diverse (to use less reverb), and to prepare them
for use in a live setting, later. A lot to discover, and maybe I will even install later some extra plugins. But first I have
to understand how this all works and find my way in it. Exciting stuff!

May:
Very happy with the first - democratically elected - prize (€ 100,-) for my poem:
Strandstuk at writerspodium 18th edition. as well as selected by jury (as 2nd),
and Euforische pech, plus Strategisch schakelmoment, plus voorstelling zonder publiek plus wat is wat het lijkt, blijkt het niet te zijn are all selected by jury as 3rd.
Translation:
| Beach Piece While life withdrew and disappeared incognito in the breakers death meanwhile wearing already his foamy white hat had long since noticed, struck with big shiny curls rakishly along the upturned water |
Euphoric bad luck Fatal luck means for her something like at the very last moment accidentally to be stranded under that long-awaited awkwardly landed UFO |
Strategic switching moment By unexpectedly accelerating time gets life, but only on slowing down, death pissed-off |
Performance without an audience The stainless steel flowers fill the courtyard with a tinny tinkling, when a stray gust of wind flows in through the open gate |
What is what it seems, turns out not to be The question mark turned out to already know all the answers disguises itself as an exclamation mark, to loudly confirm that the exclamation mark in turn, was not so sure anymore, transforms into a silent, interrogative form |

New release with old sounds:
See Bandcamp release: Rauschmaschiene logarithm, alias Sound-Quaker
Although the sounds of this release are old, the editing is brandnew. For no reason I never took the effort to make a realease of the Rauschmaschiene (Sound-Quaker),
although it's my favorite instrument. Unfortunately it doesn't exist any more, but here are its beautiful sounds again, 10 years later.

14th of October 2020 until 11th of February 2021:
Participated in the Sound-Exhibition AUDIOSPHERE in Spain:
Social experimental audio, Pre-and Post Internet at Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia in MADRID :
Download the catalogue of the exhibition of 810 soundart-works of non-mainstream artists of the soundartscene from the webpage
of Museo Nacionalcentro de Arte Reina Sofia by this link: https://www.museoreinasofia.es/en/publicaciones/audiosphere
or directly here (English) audiosfera_ingles_14.10.20.pdf
With many thanks to Francisco Lopez for designing such a major overview of the international and wonderful best scene of all: the soundartscene.
I am selected with my piece called Noise-Ocean, I made in 2014, during an artist-in-residence in Scheveningen (Badgast).
For this composition I used an underwatermicrophone for sounds of the sea and the local harbour. You are hearing this mic being swept by the waves over the sand, and receiving shortwave radiostations of sailing boats in the harbour, their motors while making manoeuvres and even flushing their toilets. Furthermore I added daily sounds of the village for this soundtrack.
Have a listen here: Noise-Ocean.mp3 (5m 40s)
