crosstalk performance

picture by Heleen Petter

Koen de Wit and I did a live performance at the opening of the interference festival 2010 in Breda. It was a quadraphonic experience featuring soundscapes, clarinet improvisations and my 'funambulism' max patch transforming the clarinet in realtime. Here's a very decent stereorecording from the audience:

   'crosstalk' by husc

The ep 'in the space of seven breaths' was received very well. We are growing as an ensemble and I am proud to announce we have a follow up coming out very soon.

It is mixed from the same recording sessions, so will feature Koen de Wit on clarinet, Samir Bouregdha on guitars and effect pedals and myself doing live processing. It is titled 'mono no aware'..

new ep 'in the space of seven breaths'

I just released my new ep 'in the space of seven breaths'. It's a three track 15 minute ambient electro-acoustic experience. Together with Samir Boureghda on guitars and pedals and Koen de Wit on clarinet, we jammed for two days and this is the result of mixing the sessions down.

I have some free downloadcodes, if you want one, just send me an email!

Have fun.

husc vs koen de wit, live radio

Last month Koen de Wit and myself did over an hour of improvising on the electro-music.com live radio broadcast. Koen played clarinet and I processed it live.

..here's some short clips from that session:

the sega wacky sound system II

..I built a 'wacky sound generator' from music from outer space inside a 'sega master system II' casing, which is a lot of fun!

I tried some things, short the wrong wires and added a starve knob, the whole thing is not as clean sounding as it could be, but it makes noises and I love it. Here's some pictures and a short movie with my first impressions on it:

..have fun!

mayakovsky, part 1

Yesterday we did a try-out of our Mayakovsky performance, it will be performed in full during the opening of "two sides of a story" .

I recite a poem by Mayakovsky in Dutch to Koen de Wit playing clarinet. The laptop running max/msp feeds us back the performance, cut-up, reversed, scrambled nonsense, slowly fading to a recording of Mayakovsky reciting the same poem in Russian almost a century ago. While we perform a stop motion sequence by Sabine Bolk is synched using jitter.

marconi room

"Marchese Guglielmo Marconi ( 25 April 1874 – 20 July 1937) was an Italian inventor, best known for his development of a radio telegraph system, which served as the foundation for the establishment of numerous affiliated companies worldwide."

It is also the name of an evening with live electro acoustics and visuals the 24th of April.

..besides the liveset, I will release "nothing large, but all things for little". A six track album, I have been recording and mixing for the past six months, featuring electronics by myself, guitars and pedals by Samir Boureghda and clarinet by Koen de Wit.
