biography

Stan Wiersma (b. 1996, Groningen, NL) is a sound artist based in Amsterdam. He explores the act of mediated listening through performance, improvisation, publishing and broadcasting. With a background in image and media technology, Stan’s practice spans live group performance, site-specific sound works, programming, and experimental forms of publishing. 

He is the founder and curator of not@home, an online media archive for freeform radio, and a performer in various collaborative constellations including my imaginary friends (of which I have many) and the music project spullen. Recent performances and presentations include Paradiso, De Melkweg, Tale of A Tub, Kunstpodium T, Garage Noord, and Het Nieuwe Instituut. 

Currently pursuing a Master of Arts in Design at the Sandberg Institute, Stan investigates themes of mourning, and listening as a collective, spatial, and embodied practice.

Description


The soundscapes on this tape are the result of a five-part workshop with kids from BSO Kasteel in Rotterdam, in collaboration with A Tale of a Tub.

The sounds on this cassette were recorded by the kids using a field recorder in the direct environment of the Justus van Effencomplex. In some cases, they are supported by synthesizer sounds of the Access Virus TI.

Concluding the workshop series, each child recorded a newly composed soundscape to tape using a Roland SP-404MKII sampler, an external microphone, and effects.
