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.

in the valleys of lillipoupoli
a little flower comes out
which they call chrysalifourfouro
and looks like a little golden rose
blow, blow the chrysalifourfouro
blow it to bring the spring
and if it flies like a wing and a feather
someone loves you and you do not know it
gold little coins are hanging
under its petals
and in zephyrus' play
as if it jingles every now and then
blow, blow the chrysalifourfouro
you are holding spring in hand
and aw! if it becomes dust and gold dust
you love someone and they do not know it
and aw! if it becomes dust and gold dust
you love someone and they do not know it
you love someone and they do not know it
