In my old life as an audio engineer, I recorded this work with the Ives Ensemble—the longest session I've ever done!

Five years ago, our great American democracy was put to the test, and Donald Trump failed it.

The danger he poses was clear then, and it remains clear now. We must never forget that.

zelfplug: ik schreef iets voor @filmkrant.bsky.social over Michel van der Aa's nieuwe VR-app 'Here', met voorlopig als hoogtepunt het, in mijn beleving, esoterische The Book of Sand.

I'm a bit of a reverb fetishist, currently really enjoying the new Strymon Cloudburst.

Oog en Oor — Nieuw Amsterdams Peil Muziek van grensverleggers Muntendorf en Van der AaVan der Aa, Muntendorf, Pagh-Paan, Joyce

This afternoon, at 16:00 hrs at the Muziekgebouw, the Nieuw Amsterdam Pijl ensemble will play an exciting "Oog en Oor" (eyes and ears) program that includes two of my works: Oog and Memo, as well as works by Brigitta Muntendorf, Molly Joyce, and Younghi Pagh-Paan

The move toward settlements and licensing agreements, distasteful as it no doubt seems to many artists, represents a safer path. And so long as artists can opt out of their work being included, the most obvious direct harm to individuals can be avoided. Still, you can probably imagine what lesson the tech industry will take from this development. Just as Google learned with books, or YouTube did with Viacom, it rarely pays to ask for permission — and forgiveness often comes more cheaply than you would guess.
