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.

Of the rhythm and the chaos 

When (a really long time ago ;) ) I was still studying sonology we had music psychology classes. One of the subject touched was rhythm perception. At that time (and still am) I was interested in what makes music become noise. So I had the hypothesis that the chaos, or rather the irregularity of rhythm, in 'avant-garde / experimental' music is between bounderies to keep it from becoming just another noise.
The timing of events has to be between bounderies of a, perhaps a nice bell shaped, curve in order to be perceived as part of the musical structure.

Well, what do you think?
