Selected projects

 * Radio New Babylon.

A collection of sound works adressing the legacy of Constant Nieuwenhuys.

Named after the anti-capitalist visionary art project developed between 1959 and 1974 by the dutch artist constant, Radio New Babylon proposes a unique collection of site-specific audio pieces made by local and international artists.

THE PIECES CAN ONLY BE HEARD IN AND AROUND THE NEW BABYLON BUILDING COMPLEX IN DEN HAAG, THE NETHERLANDS BY USING THE ECHOES APP ON YOUR PHONE, AND HEADPHONES.


 * The Constellation, a podcast for viral times.

 * New audio works and re-releases now available on Bandcamp


 * Vilgiskoddeoayvinyarvi: Wolf Lake on the Mountains.

In Vilgiskoddeoayvinyarvi we follow Viktor Koslovsky, a scientist still working at the otherwise abandoned Kola Super-Deep Borehole, a geological research station "at the border of everything" in north-west Russia. He tells of the history of this former cold-war project and of his current research which he describes as "listening to the past in order to hear the future". The project exists as an audio-visual installation and as a single-screen short film.
