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 Even more outdated posts are in my blog.
In the Electro Acoustic Sessions festival at the Grand Theatre in Groningen (18 and 19 may), the theremin will be featured in a couple of performances.
Which in itself is already great 
I’m particularly happy though that I’ll also perform there, on saturday, the 19th.
Starting with a solo performance (where I’ll not only play with my double theremin setup, but also with the wireless hands-controller-setup that I developed at Steim last month), I will then be joined by one of my favorite bands – Knalpot from Amsterdam – for a [probably quite wild] set.
Later that night, Knalpot will finish off the festival with their standard-lineup (Raphael Vanoli on guitar & Gerri Jäger on drums), but in-between, the nice people at the Grand Theatre programmed a special treat: One of the best thereminists in the world, Pamelia Kurstin, will perform solo!
At MusicHackday Amsterdam on march 23 & 24 2012, I developed the MusixMatchMoogMaxMSP (aka MMMMM), the ThereminKaraokeSystem.
This system allows the user to browse the MusixMatch library for lyrics & subtitles, and then “sings” them by theremin-controlled VoiceSynthesis.
The perfect solution for those evenings when you are forced to sing Karaoke while you don’t want to use your voice but accidentally brought your Moog Etherwave!
I’m happy that it was awarded with the 1st price of MusixMatch 
Stay tuned for more documentation & media!

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…
