about

Discovering electronic media at the end of the 1970’s, Arie van Schutterhoef (1957) started to explore the potential of the mutual relationships between text/sound/image. It has been his main pre-occupation to develop his ability to use this. Important was to understand how language works and from that point onwards the interest in sound came and the need to know how to apply it. Which resulted in a series of electronic and electro-acoustic compositions with or without acoustic instruments. These works were performed in several countries in Europe. During the 1990’s an increase in attention for image lead to the collaboration with the visual artist Clea Daiber, resulting in the creation of videos, which were shown at several venues inside and outside the Netherlands. At the beginning of 2000 the step was taken to do this independently. Much of his activities take place within the Schreck Ensemble for live electro-acoustic music, which was founded by him and Hans van Eck in 1989. In this context he developed a new electronic instrument, the stratifier, that is being used during concerts of the Schreck Ensemble for the manipulation of sound with computers. His video-work (collaboration with Hans van Eck) was selected for the ‘7th International Festival of New Film’ (2002), Split-Croatia in the new media section. Participated in the Sasa International Award 2003 festival in Catania, Italy - organised by the United Nations - in the category Digital Wave for experimental movies a
