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.

dendrites: context free design 

As posted earlier some mathematicians like dendrites aswell.
Chris Coyne has made a nice program using a context free design grammar.
It's free for you, so download it right away!

Dendrite bacteria 

As a result of the structure of each single-celled bacterium, patterens form when these bacteria multiply. The colours of these images are enhanced, but the patterns are nice. The colonies are of the bacteria Paenibacillus dendritiformis and Paenibacillus vortex. [more...]

Kraakgeluiden session recording 

The Kraakgeluiden session was recorded. It's for sale. But you can download it for free. It's no fluffy mp3. It's an AAC file that playes in most soundfile playlist programs, but not in your browser. So: Alt+click, or right-click, save as...
I happen to like Mid Side recordings a lot, and to my taste it worked out really well. I noticed we played rather empty considering we were with 5 people.

Lasse Marhaug and his free mp3s! 

Some people know that I have a slight obsession with Norway and Norwegian music.
I have been following Lasse Marhaug's excellent site for quite a while. I have some of his cds and have seen him and John Hegre play, as Jazzkammer, in Blå, Oslo.
Hell, I even almost bumped into him and John Hegre in Munkedamsveien the day after (I did not speak to them though)...
But that is not relevant.
What is relevant is that Lasse is one of the most productive sound artists in Norway working with a lot of people in the local scene. He and John Hegre even co-produced Maja Ratkje's amazing "voice" cd.
Really interesting is that Lasse now gives away a lot of his music for free on his site.
You can find the mp3 archive here.
(Please also visit his site, he has plenty of interesting stuff there)

I always like artists that share their music with fellow enthousiasts--> Veldig bra Lasse!

Cary Sherman, the president of the RIAA, was guildtripping the univeristies, saying that the filesharing by their students was teaching bad values and was bad for innovation. "...this epidemic of music piracy threatens that spirit of innovation today. Piracy undermines both Internet2's stated and noble purpose to promote research and higher education, and our ability to invest in the next generation of creativity. It threatens -- both in theory and practice -- to leave new ideas in science, industry and finance vulnerable to theft and abuse by anyone who can somehow find a way to uncover them in the ethernet."
A teacher in computer music, Roger Dannerberg, responded in the same newspaper: "...My students also learn how the broadcasting industry, dominated by NBC and CBS, ignored recording technology until the NBC monopoly was broken up by the FCC. The innovations in magnetic recording for broadcast introduced by the struggling ABC were a major step forward, enabling the modern recording industry and even modern computer technology. Mr. Sherman, was the monopolistic suppression of innovation the "responsible use of network resources" you are seeking?"
