Dendriet is a network of musicians in The Hague (.nl) that perform with networked electronic and acoustic instruments. The word dendriet, or dendrite, is also the name for the receptors of a nervecell. Dendrites are typically branching branches. You'll find these fractal shapes in ice, in metal chrystals in limestone, and likewise, in our performance setups. Please do check out our homepage by clicking the stone. You too are invited to join the discussions.

Don't stand out from the crowd, or else... 

Here's a story of a guy who was afraid someone was really willing to commit a murder for an iPod... The point of the story is, that you 'need' to ditch the white iPod headphones, or you will be robbed. And it goes even futher, by stating you shouldn't stand out from the crowd at all and you are a dumbass if you do. Well, you'd also miss out on enjoying the best in earbuds around. And, you will also miss out on a nice gesture that is in use in .nl as well: That of exchanging a listening experience with other iPods users you randomly run into.
I can't help standing out from the crowd anyways. I can't hide in a crowd. The reason why I do not use earbuds is that they do not fit in my ears. I use headphones the size of ghettoblasters. If the iPods become a regular thing to have, there are still hundreds of things about me to make me stand out for. Go ahead, be regular, buy dull consumer earbuds, go deaf, fade out, dress up for your funeral. Just don't tell me to blur into your grey world.
