about
Noise Maker's Fifes was a Belgian experimental / improvised music collective formed in 1990 in Brussels by Geert Feytons and Timo van Luijk. Their music was created by a variety of often self-made instruments in combination with electronics, effects and environmental sound recordings. During its 17 years of existence the group underwent a big evolution. NMF started solely as a music group and gradually became more multidisciplinary incorporating video, dance, sound installations and performance in order to create complex audio visual happenings. In 1993 Greg Jacobs joined the group and sound engineer Eric Faes became a regular member until 1998. In 1996 Timo van Luijk moved to the background to concentrate on his personal musical work and Marc Wroblewski appeared in the fixed NMF line-up. At this point NMF slowly grew out to an audio visual unit working with many different artists depending on the nature of the projects. All video work in which surreal imagery and concrete visualization of sound play an important role was realized by Geert Feytons. Ciro Carcatella, Vilbjorg Broch and Stella Spitaleri were mostly responsible for the performance and dance aspect while the sound installations were conceived and created by Marc Wroblewski and Geert Feytons, the core of NMF. The regular participants for the musical part, depending on the project were Greg Jacobs, Timo van Luijk, Bryan Seating, Luc van Lieshout, Michael Prime. Other guests for specific projects were Miet Brand
