focused yet unbound sound
aim to reduce, simplify and reject
improvised repetitive rhythm multiplied by instinctive vocal melody
home-made 'instruments', circuitry glitches and sampled surroundings
home jams as sound strolls for local texture layers
bollard percussion, tannoy narratives and architectural reverb
an introspective map of rambling mantras
themes of travel and the city's battle with greenery
present and intended

intent present

passing under

binaural amplification of a home made trichord with nine volt amp feedback

trail

coils on trains
accidental tuning
beaters, steel, wood, pulse

everyone's here (live @ grondwater 4, studio loos, den haag)

layers and width
natural motion
dodo returns

seen and sawn (live @ rear ear, steim, amsterdam)

crawling in the dirt
dark and damp
habitat

let op, broodjes (live @ under spuigaat iv, den haag)

door de ruit

espresso at night (live @ irreal, lisbon)

the wind took it down
a habit gave it sound
first prototype then replica
on non-spatial ground

loureiro one

blocked windows broken floors lot's going on

aviso

a pickup becomes the bridge
tightly tuned, the tree stretched like a drum
the spacelessness of the line in, shunned as it often is

spaceless shun

improvised exploration of handmade instruments and found sounds via performance and composition • robshuttz@gmail.com
