BetweenTwoHands presents their inspiration sources and their production methods for porcelain works and big ceramic works, which will be part of their new performance “Oceanus, a new ritual”.

All the ceramic works are made during an artist in residence period in the European Ceramic Workcentre in Oisterwijk

Biography Daniel Maalman

Daniel Maalman is an artist who generally works with sound in the broadest possible spectrum. Originally coming from a visual art background, he found that his passion lies mainly in working with the sense of hearing. Besides making art he also has been writing and performing electronic music for many years.

With his Lost & Found Orchestra installations, Daniel turns locations, buildings and objects into musical compositions. Every edition is a new location. He starts by finding sounds that are hidden under the surface of materials by tapping on the objects, while amplifying them with microphones.

The tapping is done by little machines (like electro-magnetic solenoids or small motors) that are controlled from a computer, which functions as the conductor. The composition is being generated ‘live’, in real-time, like with an actual orchestra. These sound experiences only exist temporarily and sound different every edition. For a certain period of time, the audience can experience the composition, walking around in it, while the room around them is being played. Because the little machines all have a small light, the audience can find easily where which sound is generated. The sound and lights together create an audiovisual experience.”
