NoiseSample – Live Performance Video & Interactive Web Version

Originally premiered at the ISCM World New Music Days 2023 in Johannesburg, this work was further developed and performed live in 2026.

Audio-Reactive 4D Perlin Noise Particle System:
Inspired by the concepts of "noise" and "sample" in both sound and image, this version operates in four-dimensional space. The Perlin noise field and physics simulation are computed with an additional W axis before being projected into a three-dimensional environment through stereographic projection.

Created and performed with Max for Live, Max MSP Jitter, and Ableton Live.
Performed on May 16th, 2026, at Orgelpark, Amsterdam.

Translating the original work into a real-time browser environment, an interactive web version has been launched as well. One million particles respond directly to audio through WebGL, generated entirely on the GPU. Because the system is rendered live in the browser, it provides a lossless experience without video compression or associated visual artifacts.

Note: this work requires a capable GPU and is not optimized for mobile devices.

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 before the summer: April 22 in Leeuwarden, May 22 & June 13 in Utrecht, and May 23 in Amsterdam.

Two New WebGL Works Launched

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

A premiere video of a new work for solo marimba, Fidellica, is now available. The work is written for Rachel Xi Zhang, and it was premiered on March 14 at Amsterdam Marimba Weekend.

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.

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.

New Commission for Orkest de Ereprijs

A new audiovisual work "Auresona" for Orkest de Ereprijs will be premiered during Gaudeamus Festival on September 11. 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.
