In bubble bubble, two painters, two musicians, and two performers take part in one-on-one creative blind dates. Each duo is given 2 hours, 22 minutes, and 22 seconds to get to know each other and create a work of art together. What happens when artists from different bubbles meet and confront one another’s ways of thinking and working?

Hymn to Dionysos is a documentary aftermovie set over four days at Traumburg Festival. Against the baroque backdrop of Schloss Dornburg an der Elbe, we follow best friends Daan and Mees as they immerse themselves in a world of music, excess and hedonism. But for both, letting go comes with complications - each struggling to keep something in check that has no place at a festival built around losing control.
The short film sits somewhere between an aftermovie, documentary portrait and trippy fever dream.
Exclusively screened at Traumburg Festival 2026.

Het Vreemd: Dutch Underground Synth & Wave 1982-1987
V/A Compilation Album
Het Vreemd is a compilation and archival project exploring forgotten Dutch-language underground synth and wave music from 1982–1987. It began with a box of old band photos and DIY cassettes belonging to my mother, which sparked a search for the artists and stories behind this largely overlooked scene.
The project brings together ten tracks by obscure Dutch artists, alongside archival photographs, personal stories and a zine documenting the research. By bringing this music back into circulation, Het Vreemd celebrates the experimental, DIY spirit of the 1980s and explores its surprising resonance with the present.
Released on World of Paint.
