This wednesday I will do a workshop on how to use your body as a controller to make music in Ableton Live.

location: Off-Corso Rotterdam
time: 19.00

Recently I’ve programmed a Facebook app for Roland Emmerich‘s new movie Anonymous, about William Shakespeare.

The app allows Facebook users to compose their own sonnet, choose a background image from their Facebook albums or choose a supplied one, and post the sonnet to their friend’s wall.

Design and concept by amoeba design and filmtiki, programming by yours truly.

Nice release, interesting elements and good to hear lots of analogue goodness going on….but it feels more like 2 live, modular synth jams rather than structured tracks…good for the 5am zombies though….and who dunnit??

Working on an interactive video installation for the Big Brother Awards where visitors are tracked with a camera and all their personal secrets are overlaid for everyone to see. Come check it out at De Balie in Amsterdam tonight!

My new EP is out on Vinyl!

Jilt van Moorst – Sublimination EP is out on vinyl  in USA and Japan, Europe wide release next week!

after that the digital release will be Beatport exclusive for a week before being unleashed to the world at large.

Just came back from Camp festival in Stuttgart, what a blast!

I loved the concept, take 10 performing artists from all over the world who have never worked before, put them together for a week in a half empty museum to come up with a collaborative audiovisual performance.

We chose a large dome as our venue which was still being renovated when we were working on the performance, and the delivery date was only one hour before the first performance. Luckily, the Germans run a tight ship, and the room was delivered  a day early.

It was very fun and inspiring to work closely with others for a week on something very experimental, and the performances were very rewarding. I hope to have pictures and footage soon.

2 of my tracks are featured on October’s excellent mix CD ‘Recession vol.1′ , already getting nice reviews (DJ magazine below)

Last year I was approached by Jurriaan van Dam with an idea for an interactive audio installation that would record the sounds made by visitors walking through a hallway and play them back a few seconds later a few meters further, so that you would keep hearing the sounds you were making as you walked along the hallway. I programmed a prototype version of his idea using cps but Jurriaan died before we could test it. His friends at LoFar decided to finish the installation in his memory, and contacted 11, who generously co-funded the project and let us build it there. You can try it out for yourself every day before 10pm, until saturday, after which 11 will be closed and demolished.
