At the invitation of Ard Boer (of New Music Labs fame) I’ve been talking with the people at Buma/Stemra about their positioning in this digital age. And not just me, the Buma bunch consists of Ferry Rooseboom (Excelsior), Arnoud Engelfriet (ICT-lawyer), Jiggy Djé, Ard and yours truly. In 45 minutes we’re off to the next session.
The friendly people at Unconvention Groningen just posted an interview with none other than me on their website. I feel obliged to pardon my french english. A definite mixture of american-sitcom, hiphopalbum and BBC match of the day in my accent.
Just ahead of the Eurosonic/Noorderslag festival and seminars Ard Boer’s New Music Labs is organizing Unconvention Groningen. A grass roots event for musicians.
Nienke Maat asked me to moderate a panel on thursday the 14th on Zero Budget Marketing. If all my diva demands (private trailer, 3 six packs of sprite and just the one backstage honey) are met by New Music Labs I’ll be seeing you all there.
I'm a t-shaped professional. Interested and knowledgeable about a wide range of things, with a clear focus on identity. I clarify, identify, enthuse, explain and speed things up. In a wide range of settings. From a brainstorm at a University Hospital to an editorial item for Bright Magazine. From teaching young students to think conceptually to helping the Ministry of Economic Affairs explain what they do with more schwung.
I fly solo sometimes, but work together with some of the finest people in their respective industries on other occassions. Be it graphic designers, photographers, code-gurus, filmmakers, project managers or musicians, they all have one thing in common: a genuine love for what they do. Which guarantees both a pleasant project and a wonderful product.
