Eine weitere Köln-Premiere in der Reihe ?bunkerfrequenzen?: der Amsterdamer Soundkünstler Martijn Tellinga stellt sein Projekt Boca Raton in einem Installationskonzert vor. Die zarten elektroakustischen Klänge entfalten sich im Raume und wirken auf diesen ? dazu gibt es selbstkonstruierte Instrumente zu bestaunen. Tellinga, obwohl noch recht jung, hat bereits mit zahlreichen internationalen Klangkünstlern zusammengearbeitet und mit seinem Label Stichting Mixer etlichen Protagonisten der Szene eine Plattform geboten (Kaffe Matthews, Antje Greye-Fuchs, Radboud Mens u.a.). Seine aktuellen Arbeiten beschäftigen sich mit der Frage, wie ein maximaler Input an Klängen und gefundenen Sounds zu einem minimal-eleganten Klangteppich verarbeitet werden kann. Die Kraft des Weglassens und Aussparens erforscht Tellinga in seinen akustischen Leerstellen.


BOCA RATON / MARTIJN TELLINGA

Biography and other usefull information

Martijn Tellinga (1974, Netherlands) is a composer and sound-artist in the field of new electro-acoustic music and sonic arts. His work shows a great care for textural qualities and eye for compositoric detail and seeks its identity somewhere in the overlap of forced form and intuitive musicmaking.

Under his given name Tellinga has collaborated with several filmmakers, video-artists and autonome artists, providing soundtracks for animated ? and short films and developing installation-like media environments. He has worked with a.o. Finnish filmmaker and journalist Sami Kallinen, autonome artists Jan Robert Leegte and Sagi Groner and is currently developing an integrated audio-visual performance with Austrian video-artist Dextro.

His ongoing project ?Boca Raton? (?at the mouth of the mouse?) particularly deals with the symbioses between concrete ?unstaged- sound and synthetic sonorities. As it has never shown any steady state what-so-ever, the project develops over time according to the composer?s ideas and capacities, within the flexibalised margins of this field of interest.

More than relying on melody, harmony and rhythm, these soundworks are constructed from the fundamental building blocks of music: texture, volume and time-elapse. As Boca Raton developed over time, the concrete-acoustic aspect has gradually shifted from sounding information to control-data, distilled from the outer-sounding world. This data is used to outline and define structures, textural qualities and gestural development for mostly synthetic sound. Complementary, Tellinga has enriched these work through composing for quadraphonic and multichannel environments.

In the past years his work has been played and performed at stages in the Netherlands and international festivals in Belgium, France, Finland, UK, Swiss, Portugal, Greece and USA. Works have been commisioned by labels such as ? Korm Plastics - (Hol), ? Spekk - (Japan) , -Cronica Electronica - (Portugal) and -Stichting Mixer - (Hol).

Together with Dutch composers Radboud Mens and Danny de Graan he forms ?Elmgar Ten?, building soundinstalltions functioning as performance-tools. Furthermore he has recently started an electro-instrumental collaboration with percussionist Jon Mueller, to explore the musical dialogue between the instrumentalist and realtime computer-instruments.

Since September 2003, Tellinga has been studying Sonology at the Royal Conservatory The Hague - Netherlands, where he subsequently will do his Masters-studies in 2005-2007.
In 1999 he started the platform for contemporary electro-acoustic music Stichting Mixer, having organised numerous events and released over 25 titles today. Finally, he is programmer for the Dutch new music radiostation ?De Concertzender?, being one of the 4 programmers for ?230 Volt?,
a weekly program focussing on historic and contemporary electro-acoustic music.
