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.
