Composing for Lying Angel
Started composing for a new animation film by Geert Broele in a Kris Mergan Production. Geert has created a strange but familiar world. We follow a few archetypical characters over the centuries. Musically it is quite the challenge, combining my own work with Piazolla and Nicole and Hugo. Long story but you will get to hear it when it is finished.

‘Bloeistraat 11’ wint in Annecy
Zeer trots op Nienke! Bij sommige projecten voel je het al van bij het script, of van bij die eerste meeting; dit wordt een topper, deze gaat prijzen winnen! Zo fijn dat dat dan buiten onze ateliers of studio’s ook werkelijkheid is geworden.
Animas – composition of a Spanish feature film
Very proud to announce a fantastic film by directors Laura Alvea and Jose Ortuno. Animas is a Spanish horror/psychological thriller and a trip into the mind of a teenage boy. I had the honour of composing the sound track for it, and also the title song. A complex mix of orchestral mayham and tight vintage synths. The film has been mixed, more news on the release expected shortly!
‘Bloeistraat 11’ geselecteerd voor Internationale Competitie Annecy
De kortfilm ‘Bloeistraat 11’ van Sabam-lid Nienke Deutz is geselecteerd voor de Internationale Competitie ‘Annecy’ (11 – 16 juni 2018).
Deze animatiefilm volgt het verhaal van twee meisjes aan het begin van hun puberteit: Wolk en Aap. In Bloeistraat 11 wordt gebruik gemaakt van 2D-animatie en stop-motion. Deze grafische benadering versterkt het verhaal rond vriendschap op een mooie, tedere en fragiele manier. De Belgische inzending werd uit 3.000 wereldwijde kandidaten gekozen.
Bloeistraat 11 is het resultaat van een VAF Wildcard voor animatie. Voor Nienke Deutz is dit haar debuut in de internationale animatiewereld. De kortfilm ontving ook een beurs van Sabam voor de originele filmmuziek. Deze werd geschreven door Frederik Van De Moortel.
Bloeistraat 11 – compositie
Synopsis
Inseparable best friends spend their last summer holiday of childhood amusing themselves around the house. As summer progresses their bodies start to morph and shift and an awkwardness descends on their friendship. Puberty seems determined to interrupt their bond.
A minimal music composition using rusty objects and little toylike bells and objects. The metal music played by the brother and the dance music the girl are dancing to are also compositions of mine. Guitars on the metal track played by Styn Norga, and the voices on the dance track are; Max and Umi Schram.

Mémoires De La Montagne – Premiere
sound design and mixage par Frederik Van de Moortel
Blazhko Ensemble live @ STUK Leuven
Wednesday 17/5 – 7 p.m. Live Concert
Blazhko Ensemble is; Katrien Kolenberg (Cello) Frederik Van de Moortel (Hybrid bass and electronics) and Marc Horemans (Graphic score)
‘The Blazhko veil’ is the result of an interdisciplinary collaboration between Marc Horemans, Katrien Kolenberg, Frederik Van de Moortel and Ehsan Moravveji. They were inspired by astronomical research, more specifically by the registered data of the RR Lyrae variable stars. The scientists and the artists directed their attention towards the Blazhko effect of these data. Up until this day the effect can be understood as a primary form of disruption and chaos. Perhaps a better understanding of our existence is hidden in the effect. The close collaboration between artists and scientists led to a scientifically oriented audiovisual installation. The three entities; science, image and sound confronted each other and resulted in a sensory contribution to the astronomical discourse. The interrelated media or practices blur the lines between the factual and the longed for because if one intends to measure themselves against the cosmos, one appeals to reason and to intuition, to the factual and to the fictional, to the objective and the subjective.
