Strijbos & Van Rijswijk

On Jan 27th we presented our newest publication Composition, Time and Space.

It describes in both word and image the most important of our projects, and appears on the occasion of the award of the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund North-Brabant Music Prize 2012.

It includes an introduction by Jan Doms and contributions by Bert Palinckx (November Music), Chen Quiangbin (Electronic Music Week Shanghai) and Henk Heuvelmans (Gaudeamus).

Atmospheric and electronic sound fields coupled with acoustic music !

In “Cross Avenue” the sound created by the strings will be saved, explored, re-worked and re-introduced in such a way that the original sound source and its new variant combine to form a new sound entity. The strings and the electronics become a seamless extension of each other. Further, Strijbos & Van Rijswijk employ spatialisation (sound divided over the space), an important audible element which propels the composition in further developing its expression.

The Prince Bernhard Cultural Foundation has awarded Jeroen Strijbos and Rob van Rijswijk the Music Prize 2012 because – within their international musical practice - they link willfulness to accessibility and sense of technology to visual design. The jury is impressed by the creative versatility, professionalism and entrepreneurial spirit of the duo.

During festival November Music 2012 the prize will be handed over by Martijn Sanders during their première of 'Cross Avenue', in collaboration with New York Stringquartet Ethel.

With the app 'Walk With Me' you can experience topographic compositions in public space performed by means of a smartphone app. Technological developments have opened up possibilities to create site-specific compositions that are shaped into unique and personal electronic realtime musical experiences connected to a specific geopgraphical area by the audience. All compositions can be heard 24 / 7 by downloading the app from the app-store.

During the International Festival for Contemporary Music November Music 2012 the audience can experience the composition 'The Walk of Earthly Delights' at the heart of the festival in the citycenter of 's Hertogenbosch.

In a sincere salute to one of ‘s-Hertogenbosch’s most renowned citizens, The Walk Of Earthly Delights divides the inner city map along the lines of the famous Garden triptych of the same name by painter Hieronymus Bosch (1450 - 1516). A sonic spectrum unfolds while you cross the town square, pass by St. John’s and St. James’s and navigate through medieval streets and alleys to discover the city you never heard: solemn lithurgical beauty and gentle harmony, tempting melodics and profane joy , aggravating dissonants, absurdity and a lost voice of lament.

Commissioned by November Music.

Dadoc is a multispeaker-installation designed in collaboration with Swiss visual designer Christian Grässli.

The audience can isolate or filter the different layers of sound within the entity of the installation, by opening the various dadoc’s. It is up to the listener to open up different sets of Dadocs to find out what connotations and meanings the Dadocsreveal in relation to each other.

Dadoc will be exhibited during November Music 2012 in 's Hertogenbosch, Netherlands.

Imagine walking through Central Park, hearing the sounds around you change as you move. From one spot to the next the sounds differ; but as you approach a spot, or distance yourself from it, the character of what you hear shifts.

Your perception and experience of the area, regardless of how mundane or exceptional it is, changes with the modification of its sounds. At least, that is one of the things we aim for in our sound processing app, written for iPhones and iPads fitted with earpieces.

Walk With Me blurs the boundaries between installation and composition.
