- 24th :: The « ookoide » (Awesome Foursomes (xxii - No. 131))
Stduio's awesome foursome No. 131 is an audio companion to the « ookoide », presented at the 2024 ‘Salon‘, the yearly members exhibition of the Amsterdam artist society 'Ars et Amicitiae'. The « ookoide » basically is a randomized list of 200 Bandcamp codes, that enable you to download (hence ‘own’) digital copies of the Stdiuo awesome foursome ep's No. 328 and No. 419, for free. Print, fold and cut them into cute little booklets all by yourself! [sbpc 111 | 548]
- 1st :: Emigré: ik besta
‘ik besta’ is a cassette supplement to the ‘Emigré’ CD, by Ausland x De Fabriek. I composed, mixed & edited all tracks in 2022 and 2023 using basic music tracks by Derk Reneman (Ausland). All except ‘Blauwe vinnen’ and ‘De kloeke atoomraket’ became part of the story told on ‘Emigré’. On ‘ik besta‘ my texts weave a different, complementary, story, that can be read along in several languages—on the set of 26 cards that come with the limited collectors K7 edition, online by clicking the ‘lyrics’ links.

- 25th :: splintertjes van Eeuwigheid
“Wat muziek betreft is niks extremer dan ‘Eeuwigheid’, een universele muziek die strikt kortstondig is. Zij ontvouwt zich langs een tijdlijn (theoretisch oneindig, hoewel tijd in ons leven altijd ooit stopt), waarop de frequenties van willekeurig voorkomende uni- en isofone klankgebeurtenissen een tweede dimensie vormen, die de gestage stroom van tijd tot leven brengt.” [sbpc 108 |545]

- 20th :: Piano, piano (1980-1983)
I came across a tape labeled R/H (for ‘Ronald/Harold‘), ‘piano, piano,’ and dated 2/2/1983. It is an early morning duo improvisation on two pianos that Ronald Heiloo and I recorded in Amsterdam shortly after finishing our ‘Commuters’ sessions with Dagmar Krause. A long-forgotten, deeply personal conversation, dynamic, adventurous, fun, shameless, full of energy and ideas—focused yet completely free. [sbpc 107 |544]
- 17th :: Uit de kast: "Yes, I am a Sudokist!"
This text provides the ins and outs of a new series of (instrumental) pieces of music from sudoku solutions. It starts with ‘_to Yoko Miura’, a suite for four toy piano's and electronics (or a vintage electronic organ).
The second is ‘27 latin variations on a Sudoku Solution for Perished Piano', immediately followed by a third: ‘22 sudoku variations on a Sudoku Solution for Perished Piano'. When you play the 49 variations, listen carefully: this is a profound and undeniably solipsist music, played by a piano that like a phantom, a ghost awakened, comes singing to you from a distant, unreachable world.

On Joseph Nechvatal's « Le Mariage d'Orlando et Artaud, même », a work realised in residency at La Générale Nord-Est, including here detailed instructions on how to perform this intricate entanglement yourself, and wed bind Orlando & Artaud in the comfort of your own home. [540]
- 4th :: The « ot-o ki do ki » Awesome Foursomes (xviii - No. 624)
In a 2017 brimming with private & public drama, the ookoi meticulously chronicled their lives & world events in a brilliant wavering & all-revealing sound poem: the *ookoi dooki*, a series of 52 curiously crafted & un-edited weekly podcasts that were live recorded ('in één keer goed') over glitchy VoIP connections spanning the globe, streaming from here to there & back again. The « ot-o ki do ki » cuts it all up ... aut-o-matically. [sbpc 104 | 539]
