Work in progress: Rob van Hattum, A Portrait

Apr 17, 2010 | Posts, Film

Labyrint VPRO

I’m currently preparing for production of a portrait of Rob van Hattum, Film director for Science Programs at VPRO Broadcasting Company and Creative Director at NEMO science center in Amsterdam. I will be directing, filming and editing.

The initial portrait will be short, as it is an assignment from AKV St. Joost Art Academy, which I attend as a film major. I plan to produce a longer version over the summer.

Rob van Hattum has been instrumental in getting serious science on Dutch television for many years and has created -among many other TV and radio programs- Noorderlicht, a TV programme akin to BBC’s Horizon. The short film is expected to be completed in early summer 2010.

Just a dream

I’ve been frustrated, thinking of selling my studio. Meanwhile I released an album and tried to find inspiration again. This weekend I recorded “Just A Dream”.

Released 5 years ago today – Summer Of ’92

5 years ago today Shipwrec released my CausaliDox EP Summer Of ’92. In this post I take a look back and talk about what the tracks mean to me.

Sampling into Assimil8or

Today I decided to sample some non-electronic instruments into my Eurorack sampler. A tabla, a cabasa, a wooden flute and some pillbottles.

A critic in time

Today I spent some time selecting poems I wrote in my early 20’s for the website. It feels strange to critique myself and my poetry 20-some years later.

A synth sci-fi short story

I’m not recording. I’ve decided to just let this happen. It’s been going on for a while now. And I think it is probably too late anyway.

Lost in a memory hole

I’m not sure what happened. I got lost in a memory hole tonight. Well, I can reconstruct it, sort of. And it’s not like it hasn’t happened before.

Bob Knutton – It Sates Itself On Doubt

Ventured into darker regions today, tribal modular drums, echoing and distorted thrust me into the gloom. I explain how I recorded the track and what gear I used.
