===========================================
Under my natural name I show my visual work and do spoken word performances.
Under the moniker E.M.I.R.S.  , I compose experimental soundwork, sometimes very abstract, sometimes it is music.

E.M.I.R.S.  Blankets & Pillars

https://belchsingersonggrinder.bandcamp.com/album/e-m-i-r-s-blankets-and-pillars.
5 track album, 50 pcs limited cdr. 
I started working on this album while making fieldrecordings in a forest nearby rehearsalstudios. 

I heard the birds sing , dead fall-leaves and branches crack under my feet , the wind blow. The bands rehearsing on the background were a striking contrast. Musical themes, when found , were endlessly  repeated and protected, it seemed. It got me thinking: “When we just play  and at a certain moment we find something surprising or a rewarding outcome from that playing , are we so happy with that reward, we stop playing ?” 

And: “ Am I doing the same?”

The character of the album shifts from field/acoustic to synth/studio-tracks. It consists of five tracks. Two field-based ones, a bridging semi- acoustic one and two dense synthesizertracks. 

The disc comes in a printed and cut/folded sleeve complexity, that reflects blankets and pillars: Comfort- support-erection-celebration-comfort.

And the birds? They just sing, what the hell…

 

Produced, June-september 2020 in Arhem, the Netherlands, fieldrecordings, Amychdal-studio, Clara-studio. Fieldrecording, tapes, synths, effects, spaces, time.

WORKSHOPS/ARTEDUCATION

I perform and develop workshops in the field of drawing, installation, printing, installation, performance and sound.
I  teach at schools, currently as a teacher in technical skills  at a primary school for children with learning issues. 
I teach the children  skills, planning , consequences  and imperative coherence in material processing
 in a sensory, playful and rewarding way.
For me the fun and rewarding element in teaching children is, that it strongly connects with my own basis of my art-practice. It is very satisfying to see children telling their own stories out of close conversation with materials and techniques.
Coming from a background of drawingworkshops , i still apply use terms like"lines of working", "connected thinking", and "overlapping structures".
