FUTURES PHOTOGRAPHY PLATFORM

FUTURES PHOTOGRAPHY PLATFORM 

I laid the foundation for this music theme during a 10-hour train ride from Amsterdam to the South of France. I was on my way to the International Festival of Fashion, Photography and Fashion accessories in Hyères and with the change of scenery, it felt as if I was already moving towards a different kind of vibe. Futures Photography is a talent platform, so for me the theme had to have energy, a clear drive and a whiff of curiosity.

Every year, Hyères international festival of fashion, photography and fashion accessories takes place in the hills above the mediterranean coast, in the beautiful Villa Noailles. This prestigious festival is one of the founding members of Futures and during this years edition of the festival, the selected Futures artists were presented. We were there and interviewed curator Raphaëlle Stopin.

KIM BOSKE

KIM BOSKE 

My starting point for this documentary short film about artist Kim Boske, was to capture the feel of the indigo vat. I was looking for a sound that was fluid and had a circulair movement. I gave the composition a repetitive character, like time, circles, stirring and walking around trees she was so drawn to as a child.

A short film about Kim Boske, an international renowned artist from Amsterdam represented by Flatland Gallery. This movie includes behind the scenes material that reveals the fragile process of working with indigo in Kim Boske's studio in Amsterdam, where she takes the Japanese mentality regarding craftsmanship to the level where it becomes art.

RIJKSMUSEUM REMBRANDT-VELÁZQUEZ

RIJKSMUSEUM REMBRANDT-VELÁZQUEZ 

You have Rembrandt, you have Velázquez. Two painters who grew up in different countries, but at the same time had a lot in common. I took these two worlds as the starting point for my composition. First; two separate worlds that evolve into one world where they meet. For me, the piano as a starting point was a no brainer. The piano is invented in the 17th century -the same century in which these masters created- so a classic feeling perfectly suited the time and also the Rijksmuseum with its history.

Gregor Weber is head of the department of fine arts, at the Rijksmuseum. He curated the Rembrandt-Velázquez exhibition, which brings together unique works by the greatest painters of Dutch and Spanish painting. In this video interview he explains how the exhibition challenges the viewer to look further, what binds the Dutch and Spanish masters and why this is such an important exhibition for the Rijksmuseum.

  • Toby Kiers is one of the winners of an Ammodo Science Award. She won the award in the category Natural Sciences. Toby Kiers is interested in the interaction between plants and micro-organisms in the soil. I composed this theme for a video portrait about her.

    My starting point was: how does a plant sound? So I went looking for this specific sound I had in mind and composed a vibrant composition with interaction and relationship between the plants and Toby. The marimba represents the plants. The synth is the movement of the plants and the movement Toby’s been making. The staccato synth accents characterize the interacting world under the ground. The bass is the drive(r) and embodies Toby herself.

  • At Marres, House for Contemporary Culture in Maastricht, you explore the visual arts in the widest possible sense. I composed the Soundlogo for their audio story series ‘De Onzichtbare Collectie’ (The Invisible Collection). This is a collection of audio recordings in which people describe their favorite visual artwork they have seen somewhere in the world. I also compile and mix these audio stories.

    Arouse curiosity in 4 seconds. I started layering sounds like a work of art, with structure, to make a Soundlogo that is open to interpretation, has suspense and is recognizable as the beginning of every audio story of The Invisible Collection.

  • For the national campaign of Stayokay, I composed the music. Two themes for their brand movies and a theme for their radio commercials broadcasted on Qmusic and Sky Radio.

    When I started composing the music for their brand movie I wanted to capture the feeling of a holiday and the freedom of being on the road and discovering new places. The starting point was my acoustic guitar in altered tuning. I chose a Travis Picking style to give it movement. The altered tuning, mixed in a analogue-tape-style, gives it a warm and nostalgic feeling.
