Upcoming Performances with Postland

Vorex is part of "Sound of View", a collaborative project between filmmaker Barbara Meter, four composers and Postland. In this project, the same film is presented four times with four newly composed live soundtracks, each offering a distinct musical interpretation of the same images. The video is from the premiere at Gaudeamus Festival last year.

Postland will perform Vorex three more times this spring: in Rotterdam, in Assen, and in Amsterdam.

Two New WebGL Works Launched

Perlin Noise 4DVoronoise 4D

Two new interactive WebGL works exploring four-dimensional space have been published on the website. Both pieces run directly in your browser, rendered in real time at full resolution. No video compression, no loss of quality!

Both pieces render a field of thousands of line segments embedded in 4D space, projected into three dimensions in real time. The geometry is generated and animated entirely on the GPU. Clicking or tapping the canvas triggers a transformation of the noise field.

Perlin Noise 4D uses depth of field, transparency, and color to make the fourth dimension perceptually present: objects sharing the same position in XYZ space but separated along W appear blurred, dimmer, or differently colored, as a lens would honestly report their true four-dimensional distance.

Voronoise 4D takes a different approach: structure emerges from a four-dimensional Voronoise field, forming patterns that briefly resemble tesseract fragments before dissolving. Motion blur is built into the geometry itself, stretching each line between its current and previous position.

Fidellica for Solo Marimba Premiere

Sound of View - Postland

A new work for solo marimba, Fidellica, will be premiered on at Orgelpark during Amsterdam Marimba Weekend. The piece is written for Rachel Xi Zhang.
- Event page

Fidellica is part of the Dowland Series, which draws on existing musical material from works by Renaissance composer John Dowland. This work is a refraction of Go Crystal Tears.

The series is a study in productive contradiction: working within the strict restrictions of an original melody to find artistic freedom. Fidellica focuses on the threshold between the "human face" of the original song and its mechanical mutation, sustaining the tension where the two states merge.

"Workshop and Artists' Talks" will also take place ahead of the evening premiere, focusing on collaboration between performers, composers, and programmers, with emphasis on artistic development.

Velarium Premiere Video Published

The premiere video of my recent work Velarium is now available. The piece was presented with harpsichordist Liubov Titarenko at the Prix Annelie de Man Festival at Orgelpark in Amsterdam, and represents an important step in my ongoing research into performance formats that integrate acoustic sound, live electronics, and real-time visuals.

Velarium explores a reciprocal relationship between harpsichord resonance and digital imagery, where sound shapes image and image shapes sound. Acoustic details are captured and transformed through live electronics, while real-time visuals are generated through a custom particle system, forming shifting geometries that respond dynamically throughout the performance.

The work will be performed again on at Orgelpark.

New Commission for Orkest de Ereprijs

A new audiovisual work for Orkest de Ereprijs will be premiered during Gaudeamus Festival . The composition is co-commissioned by Gaudeamus and Orkest de Ereprijs.

The work features trombonist Peter de Hoop, with electronics and real-time visuals. Below is a teaser from a tryout session exploring electroacoustic sounds of the trombone for the project.


Shade in Sustention Video Published

A new performance video of my solo cello work Shade in Sustention is now available online. The piece is part of my ongoing Dowland Series, inspired by the music of Renaissance composer John Dowland, and is based on his song In darkness let me dwell.

This recording was made at Tokyo Opera City Recital Hall, performed by cellist Aki Kitajima as part of a concert presented by the Japan Society for Contemporary Music.
