Here you can find an overview of things that keep me either off the street or on the road.
Most of these things are so-called “projects“.
On this page however you’ll find unregular updates about my mixed activities, misleadingly called ‘news’. Even more outdated posts are in my blog.
Upcoming concert; confusingly automated DIY strings vs electronically alienated wind instruments… Looking forward!

People in Groningen these days have some chances to witness a live performance by AUSPUTZER, my [after 1 year still] new band, featuring Meindert Talma on voice / piano, Corneel Canters on drums and Fons Sluyter on double bass.
As part of the Gronnsonic / Eurosonic festival, we’ll perform in Cafe Koster on january 13, and january 30 we’ll play in the Paleis.
And today we had our first unplugged concert (and also unplugged from Corneel), live on Oog Radio. Well, it gets about time to release the CD that we recorded last summer! So expect it by fall 2011…

This clip I edited from the movie archives of GAVAGroningen for Ausputzer’s performance at Noorderzon festival 2010 (Format GAVA).
A dance performance by Roni Haver & Guy Weizman (Club Guy & Roni) running at the Staatstheater in Oldenburg (Germany).
“The almost erotic tension that lies in the search for the truth in science as in spirituality is the basis for the performance Airways. Scientists developed the theory of chaos to understand that everything in our world is connected in a reactive system. Positive power in the chaos of nature is a result of circumstances and events. Airways uses chaos to create movements, energy and images. The very enervating “Weather” of composer Michael Gordon together with the spiritual music of Arvo Pärt is the musical basis for Airways.”
Next to performing live visuals and electronic sounds in this performance, i made a videoclip for the final piece of the performance – “Salve Regina” by Arvo Pärt.
Performances 2011:
february: Wed 2., Su 20., Su 27.
march: Fr 11., Thu 17., Tu 22.
In the period from february till may 2010, I’ll be on tour through the Netherlands – not continuously, but regularly.
I’ve performed together with writer Christine Otten quite a lot in the past few years.
For this tour however, called ‘Literaire Revue‘, the group of writers additionally consists of Herman Koch, Michiel Romeyn (both known from Jiskefet) and Frans Thomése, and Bertram Mourits joins me for the music.
