Kornelis Smeenge
 
 
About the Artist

The work of Materializer Industries:

Within the work of Kor Smeenge there is a strong fixation on what he calls 'the in-audible nature of things'. Keeping in mind there is only so much we humans are able to hear Kor designs musical instruments that render audible drops of water,waves, wind,lightning and other phenomena showing chaotic behavior.

Waterharpet V2.02

2006
Metals,glass,electronics
100x55x180

Intoner of waves in water. This artwork 'listens' to the waters' surface and renders found frequencies audible. Underlying chaotic behavior in the water starts to ever feed new rithmic- and tonal-data into the intoner. more: www.materializer.nl/waterharpet.html Built in collaboration with the Advanced Dynamics department at the Technical University of Twente, The Netherlands.

Grand piano for the rain

2003
Metals,electronics, synthetics.
120x30x120

This artwork functions quite like an electric piano. Only it is played by falling drops of water. lacking both a composer and a musician this work still serves the listener with intrigueing mixture of non-rithem and unexpected tonal complexity.

Cloudmachine

2003
Metals,glass,electronics
120x30x250

Instrument producing clouds measuring 100x100x1cm. Projected through with direct light vortices, pattens and ondulations become visible as the light refracts on the damp contents between the sheets of glass.

Phi tubular

Under construction
Brass,glass,electronics.
50x50x200

Intoner of transversal waves in water. Playing itself much like a common flute, though air has been replaced by water.

The Aquatron

Commisioned/under construction
Metals,electronics, synthetics.
290x290x450

Interstellar radio beacon targeted to nearby solar systems. Using a one megavolt Van de Graaff generator rapid bursts of lightning are produced. Locations of impact within the installation are monitored and trigger sounds that are continiously broadcasted into space on Super High Frequency-band.

Grandpiano for the rain

2007
Steel, glass, electronics
120 x120 x 30

Grandpiano for the rain
This artwork functions quite like an electric piano. Only it is played by falling drops of water. lacking both a composer and a musician this work still serves the listener with intrigueing mixture of non-rithem and unexpected tonal complexity.
