Building and playing a Cajon in 10 weeks! This was a fun workshop at primary schools in Rotterdam. I was working in groups of about 10 to 15 children. They all got to build there own Cajon drum and paint it nicely in the first seven lessons. And than play it and perform on it in the last tree lessons. The children like to saw, screw, paint and op course playing it for their parents.
Great fun. The workshop was initiated by Reel Events.

My Boom boom du Terre show at the Lowlands festival was a great experience and succes! I was nervous and tired before going on stage. The whole crew worked hard to get this show on the road. And I’m very proud of the outcome.
The visuals ware made by:
Ronnie Deelen, Joost van den Bosch, Michelle van Mill, Rob Donkers and me. Rob created the video software that let me trigger the clips with my mpc1000 and he mixed the live footage with the animations that were shown on the huge 3 x 6 meter LED screen.
The rest of the crew were: Tammo Kersbergen sound engineer, Thijmen Bergman stage tech, Mourits party boy, Immanuel Spoor management and Thijs van Buuren mergandise.
Thanks to them we had a great show and a great weekend.
But don’t believe me just watch the movie’s and read the press articles if you can read Dutch.
Here are some pictures of my show at Rotown with Boom boom du Terre

Last night I won the price for best musician 2009 at the Grote prijs van Nederland! Pretty cool, it’s nice to win a prise of course and I can take some more money to Bali for my research.
Video drumming solo created for the Urban Explorers festival. Video drumming by the drum students of the pop centrale in Dordrecht. I was asked to creat a video drum pease for four drummers. together with students we shot the video and audio material. R nul did the Max msp programming for the four drumming setups. The drummers played on floor tom, Rack tom, snare drum with triggers and spd-20. This was sponsored by feedback in Rotterdam.
This is the Tune for The healers a short movie by Tim Leyendekker
The gay party scene presented in a triptych: the thrills of the night, the location, the date. With a surgeon’s ambition, director Leyendekker dissects a social environment held together by illusions.
VeloCity is a film about Katowice city, which is a very rough and going through a serious metamorfose place. Its chaning from harsh industrial landscape of a working komunictic city into a cultural modern city.
Music, specially composed by Jornt Jan Bras underlines the rythm of the city – showing its cycle, which is determined by light – in all its forms.
My intentions were to show beautiful sides of Katowice, and give an oportunity to change negative points of views.
While working on this film, I’ve gathered 30 hours of video material – many times freezing and getting wet.
Camera, editing (FinalCut Studio) – Natalia Armata
Music – Jornt Jan Bras
Enjoy!
I’ve recorded some drums on the tracks of a friend of mine Martha Jane Satler for her project 365 mornings.
The studio was great and the musicians even better.
Met Theater groep de ontbranding werk ik mee aan het stuk In Tha Zone. De muziek compositie is van mij in samenwerking met de spelers. Het decor dat bestaat uit 4 grote VU meters is van Johnas Vorwerk. Zowel de muziek als de VU meters stuur ik live aan met Albleton Live.
Creation of a sound to light installation. for the 2008 museum night in Rotterdam.
The installation is made out of 60 light bulbs hanging from the ceiling of a dome tent.
The lights glow on and of on the patterns of the music.
Each light bulb has its own individual dmx address meaning that all the lights can shine separately creating all kinds of nice patterns.
Ik deed mee met de eerste editie van Prix du Port. Een muziek contest waar veel conservatorium studenten aan mee deden. De eerste rondes heb ik gewonnen en in de finale werd ik 2de. Het mooiste was dat de contest door het haven bedrijf werd georganiseerd. Ter voorbereiding op de finale kregen Roger en ik een boot van het haven bedrijf ter beschikking gesteld om video samples te schieten in de haven op plekken waar je normaal niet zo snel komt.
