Most recent performance of my piece Flicker, recoreded in the library of West Den Haag as part of the 2025 Rewire Festival. Featuring vocals for the first time, something I'm looking forward to exploring further in the future!

Flicker is a continuously evolving snapshot my ongoing exploration of the potential of composing and performing with light as sound. Developed since March 2024, the work centers on an optical synthesis system that directly translates modulated light into audio signals, creating an intimately proximate dialogue where the two mediums converge.

The system employs LED light sources and solar panels to generate electric currents which transform light variations into sound signals. By modulating the electrical current supplied to the LED, I generate rich and varying waveforms, which are then subject to further processing and spatialisation. The system enables me to sculpt the dynamics in the interplay between the light and sound, creating an immersive sensory experience.

With the performance, I aim to reflect both the interconnected artistic and technical dimensions of this exploration, to bring the audience into the world of this very fundamental approach to electronic sound synthesis, and open a window into my own intuitive approach to the process of composing and working with this system.

Yippy! [talktome.mx]

A long jam session in three stages of immersion into the music. I don't know if the immersion increases or decreases or deceases. We do it for pleasure and for the sake of dedication.

Controlled Jam

Innovative Jam 1

Mind Controlled

[Verse 1]
So fucking tired of the noise
Fake-ass smiles, plastic toys
I'm sixteen, trapped in glass
A thousand apps stuck up my ass
Ping me, ghost me, rate my face
I'm done playing in this fucked-up race
My soul's for sale, but I ain't sold
I’m burning up – can’t be controlled

[PreChorus]
Filter me ‘til I disappear
But you can’t mute this fucking fear
One more click and I implode
Nah, fuck that  
I EXPLODE

[Verse 2]
School’s a joke, I’m done with grades
They train us just to be afraid
Obey the clock, obey the norm
But I was born in a fucking storm
Scroll for love that don’t exist
Swipe for joy, get slapped by fists
My mind is hacked, my heart is cold
I’m glitching out – time to explode

[Verse 3]
So fucking angry every night
Feels like my head gonna explode
Where the hell am I to go
How the fuck do I get in the show?
No peace of mind, just endless noise
My thoughts are guns without a choice
Another day, another lie
I scream so loud but no reply

Explode [Edit]

Note: In light of the recent AI breakthroughs, we feel it's important to clarify that we've been working with voice modulation since the mid-1990s – originally inspired by David Bowie's album Outside. Our approach predates AI-driven tools and is rooted in treating the voice as an instrument, shaped and sculpted through earlier technologies.

We fully understand that questioning authenticity may not be the intention – but it's worth remembering that all electronic music is, by nature, mediated and transformed. Even Nietzsche pointed out how modern tools shape us: inserting paper into a typewriter already creates a distance that handwriting does not. Perhaps birdsong is the only truly authentic sound. 🐦

Hello, my name is pippy. 

welcome to my diary.

temp hiatus, stay tuned.. 10-6-2025

ABOUT pippy (that's me, pippy):

enoff have asked who and what is pippy. pippy is pippy, i.e., a silly name with no meaning or basis. the idea of pippy was to create a baseless character for my music to live in, unbound by any sense of seriousness, coolness, likeability. the name and idea of pippy is to provide a 'wtf' response from whomever stumbles upon this page. i do not like creative boundaries, expectations, and preconceived notions. i think a lot of musicians get wrapped up in identity (crisis) and advertise their music with intent of being listened to, and become influenced by what is known to be likeable. i purposefully do not advertise, share, or promote my sounds to retain an honesty and rawness in what i produce. i write from whatever is on my mind, in my mind, at the moment. nearly all tracks are sloppily written in 1-3 hour bursts, and then thats it. 99% of my tracks are completely written from scratch, lots of midi work and many modulations to create a dynamic sound. i try to keep things unpredictable, to a fault.. i become bored very easily, and i enjoy this process i have nailed down. i leave it to the community and the listener to decide if my tracks are worth sharing. as you can see from the numbers, my page is quite lonely. i like it this way. but, if you enjoy what you hear, i leave my promotion in your hands. pippy enjoys creating for the sake of creating, out in the world of pippyland. i encapsulate current emotions in each track, so this is the closest thing i have to a diary. i can recall the mood, state, time, period of each piece, and it is an amazing way for me to recall my past. there is no social media maintained for pippy, no other source for these tracks. just shitty soundcloud, which is quite awful. i should invest more time in expanding to better platforms but i am a creature of habit. if you've read this far, then yer one of the few that is intrigued by the sounds and so i'll continue for u.

original concept for pippy:
pippy was orphaned due to mother passing during birth. the father was totally distraught by pippy's green colored skin, and what appeared to be red hair., as such, abandoned, pippy was sent to work in the ole' mill in the glorious 'Tube City'. pippy enjoyed his work, but one day while having tea in his shack, he heard a shriek. pippy investigated his neighbors box and was shocked to see a dead body. Tube City police arrived shortly after and attempted to arrest pippy. alas, he gave them the ole' pip-slip and made a shabby escape at the local marina. pippy sailed far away to an island where he met garp, a red faced dim-witted creature. pippy enjoyed the peaceful nature of his new life on the island, but eventually the wails came. pippy trapped on the island, was forced to turn himself in! the court hearing occurred immediately and all at once: pippy was to be sent to Penal Planet for execution. the ship took months to arrive at the block. as pippy exited and walked to the gallows, chains sweeping in the distance, he remembered th
