Of course Static and Moving Are Possible (excerpt)

The title Shift Coordinate Points refers to a fragment in the science-fiction book Nova Express by William Burroughs. This book is a social commentary on the monitoring of life by man and machine. In this book, Burroughs makes extensive use of his famous cut-up technique. Burroughs utilises the jargon of secret services and government agencies as a metaphor for systems of social, intellectual, and sexual control. For Shift Coordinate Points, I immersed myself completely in the sound clips of the numbers stations while reading the book.

Shift Coordinate Points (fragment)

Vessel is a spatial composition consisting of field recordings of cargo ships, drifting on sound waves. The piece was presented as a site-specific multi-channel sound installation. Composed in 2008 and released on Entr'acte.

Vessel

A collaboration sound project between composers and performers Frederik Croene (DSP and electronics) and Esther Venrooy (Piano and electronics). A very experimental and also an atmospheric album.

Truncate Retrograde

From 2009-2011 I visited China during the summer and meet with the amazing guqin player Wu Na. She inspired me to create this piece, based on our conversations, travelings in the countryside and walking in the streets of Beijing.

The last chapter of 'The Spiral Staircase' 

The Spiral Staircase

Professor of Mixed Media, performance and sound art Esther Venrooij (NL) considers her dual roles as artist and composer as occupying two different sensorial planes. She creates work in a variety of media, such as composed music, improvised combinations of electronica, video and site-specific installations. With a sharp focus, both in her studies and creative impulses on audio topography, Venrooij explores the way sound and movements inhabits space.
