> Flaming Vacuum Cleaners - Don’t play with fire! (Bastian Maris, Geert-Jan Hobijn. Berlin)


The fascination of fire as material for performances

Bastiaan Maris is a Dutch inventor of "chemo-acoustic" instruments, a musician and installation artist residing in Berlin. Bastiaan is an artist engaged in the process of engineering and operating unique industrial instruments to create original scores of music and site specific installations. The chemo-acoustic organs redefine industrial music with a blast of flaming propane gas. The instruments are usually played via PowerBooks and a MIDI keyboard and drumpads. The computers generate the background rhythm, while the MIDI signals control the gas valves and igniters.

Geert-Jan Hobijn, founder of the Staalplaat Amsterdam as well as of the Staalplaat Soundsystem. Staalplaat is a forum for sound artists, an international network for the intercultural exchange of ideas and label. Staalplaat's strategy is to invest in the future by stimulating new sounds, establishing and supporting new routes, connecting artists with new improvisational themes and experimental music ideas, the exchange and exploration of different meta musical concepts and thus expanding the boundaries of what we call "music".
The Staalplaat Soundsystem is a group of sound activists creating "musique korrekt" with the everyday tools that surround us and putting them into the form of orchestras and installations.
They see themselves as reinterpreters of modern sound installation tradition and use the constructive elements of sound-art combined with the dynamics of DJ culture. The Staalplaat Soundsystem’s content is a modern, dilettantish audio collage sound work show and is often performed with self-built, customized tools.

Maris and Hobijn will organize for Stralsund an Open Air for chemo-acoustic organs and 100 vacuum cleaners.
