PureData~ patches    
Intervalve is a group of patches which make modes / scales out of sections from the overtoneseries / undertoneseries or intervals based on roots of 2. The patches play these modes either as an automatic music-machine or interactively with sound input.. you need pd~ on your computer to run the patches (PureData is excellent, my thanx to all developers www.puredata.info)

MALDOROR

Le Comte de Lautreamont's text The Songs of Maldoror has been a project and an inspiration for me for more than a decade.

Information about the writer Ducasse and the entire text can be found (in french) on the site www.maldoror.org.

There are some video- bits with text from maldoror in the section various, some sound from our cd in holispolis and some older bits from collaboration with Noise Maker's Fifes in the archive

The >LOUSE GOD< from Maldoror with Oscar Jan Hoogland on the piano, live at Stubnitz december 2 2007. Thanx to Stubnitz for the recording. Mp3 23mb (20min)

KUNSTMALER NEIN how to approach... a project with text excerpts from Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, the project is among other sources inspired by CG Jung's essay >After the Catastrophe< from 1946.

Thanx to Enrique Pardo and Harald Harzheim for their generous advices on the way, I hope to collaborate further for other versions of this performance. The videoclip is from a preview at ADM, Amsterdam, november 2007, made before I took the piece to ESC gallery, Graz, Austria. Electronic sound is created with patches in pd~. Camera: Bryan Z, light: Jochum

I shall say that I am not particularly fond of this text. Adolf Hitler remains one of the more significant incarnations of >>>evil<<<. But the exploration of the subject sort of shakes european myth a bit around...
