Mini cinema with Live soundtrack

During the exposition "Rauw" I played the live soundtrack for a short film. An experience for 2 people at a time. It's all very direct and raw, without any effects. I build up and break down different loops straight from the microphone into the headphones of the people watching. For this set I used my Thai Pin for different melodies, the Morrocan Gnawa with lovely bass sound and the slide guitar for the opening sound. 

I probably played it about 80 times over the course of the 2 weekends. I recorded the last take and made a youtube film about it.  Check it out:

Exposition "Rauw", September 2015

"Rauw" is an exposition by Suntapes, sculptor Christoph Annys and photographer Kris Goubert.

Suntapes will set up a video installation. During the exposition, several videos will bring visitors to different places in the world. I want people to really get immersed in these places. Enjoy places with your eyes and ears. I have composed a soundtrack to go with each video. 

As usual, I used exotic music instruments to record the compositions. Not too much editing, mixing and mastering. "Raw" is how we like it.

A soundtrack for WUMU, Yunnan, China

Wumu is a tiny mountain village on a steep hillside in Yunnan, China. I've spent 3 weeks there so I had some time to film in the rugged area and the town.  I edited this small film around a soundtrack tune I had already recorded before.  

We have spent 3 weeks in and around this amazingly lovely mountain village in Yunnan, China. One of the most beautiful spots on earth I've ever experienced.
