Mark Nieuwenhuis (1981) is trumpet player, composer and music producer from Amsterdam (NL). 

The trumpet is a musical instrument to express breathing.
It reflects the contours of each breath.
Like meditation.
The magic of interaction is the central theme in all the work.
Away from a preconception of a proper trumpet sound.
Limitless looking what the trumpet have to say to us.
Let's make this century's music, like Toshinori Kondo says.




“You take a sound, any sound, record it and then change it’s nature by a multiplicity of operations. You record it at different speeds; you play it backwards; you add it to itself over and over again. You adjust filters, echoes, acoustic qualities…you produce a vast and subtle symphony. It’s a sort of modern magic. We think there’s something in it. Some musicians believe it may become an art form in its own right….” ~Daphne Oram, 1957

“Music is the art in which I can express myself best. I welcome you to connect.”

Kia Iris was born in a village in The Netherlands. As a child she came up with melodies everywhere she went. Often she'd sit in the back of the car singing her songs quietly. No need for others to hear them..

"Now I'm not that little girl anymore and I'd like to hear my melodies. Take a listen. Tell me what you think."

Love,

Kia"
