JAAP BLONK performs his own compositions, improvisations, and historical sound poems. Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Netherlands) is a self-taught composer, performer, poet and visual artist. His unfinished studies in mathematics and musicology mainly created a penchant for activities in a Dada vein, as did several unsuccessful jobs in offices and other well-organized systems. In the early 1980s he discovered the power and flexibility of his voice, and set out on a long-term research of phonetics and the possibilities of the human voice. At present, he has developed into a specialist in the creation and performance of sound poetry and a unique vocal improviser, supported by a powerful and uninhibited stage presence. He has performed and taught around the world, on all continents. With the use of live electronics and sometimes projection of visuals the scope and range of his concerts has acquired a considerable extension.

Blonk’s recorded / published output comprises some 75 titles: CDs, vinyl, cassettes and books. From his sound poetry scores he developed an independent body of visual work, also supported by his renewed interest in mathematical procedures. It has been exhibited in various countries, and selections have been collected in books by publishers in North and South America and various European countries.


ECHO'S BONES is a woodwind trio based in the San Francisco Bay Area that plays avant pastoral improvised music, with Amber Lamprecht: oboe, English horn; Sheldon Brown: clarinet, bass clarinet; Joseph Noble: flute, alto flute, bass flute, bamboo flutes.
