ESA Project Space, Leeds, May 2009
Curated by Joe Gilmore
A great event (well organised and attended, superb
sound) and a timely showcase of new and exciting
computer music and video work. Thanks to Joe and
Rhiannon for the immaculate hospitality.
Scott Foust and Frans de Waard
Divus, London, April 2009
Scott and Frans’ Tobacconists set was excellent.
Shelley Parker’s post-show DJing was sharp and hard
as nails. The screening of Foust’s Here’s to Love!
plunged Divus into a dreamlike darkness, gently
soundtracked by the beautiful repetition of Idea Fire
Company and her Swill Radio sisters. The finale,
The Four Accomplishments (Foust’s ‘total entertain-
ment package’), was hilarious — the perfect way
to conclude a most gratifying weekend. Here’s to
Scott and Frans, Jacques, Joe, Ema, Shelley, and
everyone who made the effort to be there.

3 Propositions for a White Room
De Witte Zaal, Gent, May 2008
A top-class presentation of new work by three young sound artists
from Gent. Pauwel De Buck performed an electronic cityscape
based on transformed and manipulated sounds culled from urban
environments. Mieke Lambrigts presented a new chapter in her
series of electronic ‘chamber music’: location recordings and sine
generators, tailored to a specific environment. Jeroen Vandesande
composed a new piece for a closed feedback circuit with string
performers Thomas Smetryns and Dirk Moelants.
Three preparations: Mieke Lambrigts; Pauwel De Buck (top).
