Wouter Jaspers
In this performance Dutch composer/performer Wouter Jaspers will present an electro-acoustic rendition of his own work Facsimile (2022, WP), a piece of 4 individual electronic tones for magnetic tape, speakers and microphones. Jaspers developed a rudimentary system for re-miking electronic tape recordings, adding compositional decisions in amplitude only and will be using this instrument to perform this piece.

Wouter Jaspers (Deurne, Netherlands, 1986) is an electro-acoustic sound artist, composer, and electronic instrument designer making use of his busy tour schedule to amass a noise archive where the narrative qualities of sound become catalysts for dark ambient chasms and ear-splitting adventures. Jaspers records and performs music under his own name, but also as Franz Fjödor, Das Gezicht, A Cryptic Mantra and others. He has performed as part of The Haters, To Live and Shave in LA, was one half of the Jim Morrisons and a member of 4daladiez & Meldy Peaches. With fellow Brabander Steffan de Turck he performs and records as Preliminary Saturation, with Dutch legend Frans de Waard he is Ezdanitoff, and with fellow Berliner Hainbach he performs and releases records as Odd Narrative. Jaspers was the co-founder, director and chief designer of the musical instrument manufacturer KOMA Elektronik in Berlin between 2011 and 2020. In this role, he designed electronic musical instruments for musicians keen to experiment, including the popular Field Kit series, based on his own musical practice. Lately he is investigating chance-based music and new composition techniques. –
