Stduio

Read this second of 2023’s « ooko’istories » in the ANNUAL, published by Frans de Waard’s Korm Plastics and beautifully crafted by Alfred Boland -( go https://kormplastics.nl )- It guides, you, reader, thru the ookoi’s qoq-labyrinth, starting right áfter the ultramodern early 1980 days, then zig-zagging deep back into the dystopian future (FoP) of our nowadays’, our burning world…

« November’s Numbr kicks off with 'Tafel Achtentwintig A', a slight variation on 'Tafel 28' from the ookoi's series of 'table music pieces', created during the duo's residencies on the Dutch waddeneiland Ameland. This one from their 2005 Zandoog sessions: church bells, seagulls, scissors curting hair on a stormy beach, & peacefully plucked strings.
In 'Plurkstok unplugged' (1994) we follow intrepid sonic travellers Mertens & Moock jumping, with a wink, on a major 1990s pop-trend train: a sweeping electronic percussion performance, live + unplugged.
'Re_Gesprek [2]' brings you a finite part of the ever changing 3-layered streaming infinite remix that Raudio created (2005) of 'Het Gesprek', a collective improvisation by 12 musicians in Paradiso, Amsterdam on November 24th, 1982, based on a text-score written by FPCM & Ronald Heiloo.
And 'CaRiBaRtjAjAlUzmTvEnHaNcEdnAmEdRoPpInGpLaNkrUiSuLnwIj' is a 2023 redux remix of 9 of FPCM's original soundtracks for Park4DTV, nightly 1-hour Pure Image & Sound television broadcasts (1991-2006).
Go, go! »

« Meet Hilda and the right-the-first-time, DIY, auto-playing preset created by the ookoi for this Complex Oscillator Synth app, developed by Bram Bos and available on Apple's app-store.
Then get warped back in time, to the autumn of 1981 to listen to FPCM's letter to Willem De Ridder (recently re-discovered by Marco van Dalfsen), spoken onto audiocassette and explaining his contribution to De Ridder's Radiola show, that was broadcast on the show along with the letter.
‘Genius is a pain’, indeed! A brilliant 2023 remix of FPCM's Radiola loops from 1981.
Finally then this numbr has 'You & Me' breaking glass, doors banging, running up and down the stairs… a rigidly formalised marital discord, composed and performed by Schellinx & Heiloo in their first ever duo project from April 1980, in three parts, each one scored to last precisely 10 times 20 seconds.
This here is the first part. »

:: Ai van Ho—a breathtaking minimalistic take on the tune of the late 1950’s television series Ivanhoe—produced in 1984 by Peter Mertens and Pyotr van Moock
:: the ookoi live in the Gashouder at the Westergasfabriek in Amsterdam, as part of a two part 'RAUDIO Live at the Kunstvlaai' event, in May 2006
:: the soundtrack to a video that Donald Beekman & Peter Mertens contributed to the VPRO television program 'Het LAB', around 1983: "Eye Sea"
:: one of the Young Lions' rare fully instrumental tracks, driven by a cycling, almost always permuting, guitar theme, recorded 'sound-on-sound' sometime in the late 1970s.
