Antifesto is a creative alias of Bert-Jan Zuiderduin, a Dutch composer and sound-designer who doubles as a psychotherapist in private practice and at a human rights charity in London.

Bert-Jan originally studied Art and Media Technology at the University of Utrecht before going on to study composition at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. As greatest influences he cites Conlon Nancarrow and Morton Feldman. 

Through his later psychotherapy studies and practice, Bert-Jan stumbled across Carl Jung’s theory of the Transcendent Function, which describes a dialectic transformative process very much akin to his own way of writing. In essence, this theory describes two opposing forces joining to create a third. 

Bert-Jan’s work juxtaposes often contrasting ideas or even techniques. Makes use of extremely structured as well as completely improvised or accidental material. Another characteristic is the simultaneous occurrence of repetition and continuous change as has also been explored in minimalist music.

Previously, Bert-Jan worked more conceptually, for example his work ‘Beauty Sleepers’ existing of field recording made in Teylers Museum, Haarlem, where the composer attempted to bring back to life the ‘sleeping’ scientific instruments from bygone ages. There was even an electronic homage to Frank Zappa (‘20.000.000 False Moustaches Can’t be Wrong’).

様々な時代を音楽にします。
（Make music from different times.)

Thanks for listening. Below is my other page for sketches and works in progress:

Seuil Optique, duo of Sig Valax and Nicolas Tourney, originally dedicated themselves to musical practice in complete darkness, where each sound was generated without any visual aid. This method allowed the duo to develop an acute sensitivity to the acoustic properties of their instruments and the surrounding space. Seuil Optique is interested in the physical properties of sound, intuitively manipulates machines, and creates immersive sound environments. The two musicians invite the audience to active listening and total immersion. Their philosophy is based on the idea that music is not just to be heard, but to be experienced as a complete sensory experience.
Seuil Optique builds frescoes where electronic impulses, slow gestures and acoustic responses intersect: each of their albums, tells the story of an eyeless camera, of a journey beyond the screen. An ephemeral present filled with the memory of this interior film that everyone projects on their eyelids in the evening.

The soul that will always be misunderstood.

Our world is full of unfairness and I hate it, because I am noone... I am mental ill for others... and I cant change it...

I am only honest to people, but they don't wanna hear truth because it is pain.

Noone is perfect you need accept it.
