Remco de Kluizenaar is a Wageningen based sound-artist / composer who previously made audiotours, theatrical audience-experiences and "jardins soniques" (sound gardens), presented at Oerol Festival, Dutch Designweek, Nederlands Openluchtmuseum, Kröller Müller, Tulpenroute Flevoland, etc. His style in sound-art based on scientific backgrounds is personal, sharing his thoughts and emotions with the facts and societal impact. He lights up heavy subjects with surprising perspectives, cheerfully turning input from science, cultural or industrial Heritage, and other subjects into storytelling and music, or original and witty sound-illustrations. In his unassigned works he uses sound and music to express beauty in ecology, to make poetic statements. His 24 years of experience at Waterlanders, a Wageningen based collective that made "guided tour theater", helps him invent playful ways of making an audio tour a theatrical experience as well, with the visitor and the site as the main charactres. The tension in the relationship nature and human technology has always been a subject that ignites his creativity and concern. His first close art- and science collaborations date back to 2012's Oversteek in collaboration with Waddenacademie, three subsequent "Polderpracht" projects (2015-2016-2017) with Vogelbescherming Nederland, for instance "Uw Kruidenrijk Kome". In his more recent work he closely collaborates with agro food specialists and ecologists at Wageningen University and Research and Leiden University. This started with a residency on Protein Transition from june 2021 - march2023 (8 artprojects including an audiotour and a theatreshow on Wageningen Campus). The next project was music-lecture-performance (and artwork) "Voice of the Northsea" (2023) about communication sounds of fish and antropogenic noise pollution interfering with those. In 2024 he composed "Soil, LIVE", a concert for Harmonic orchestras sonificating how land management influences soil ecologies in forests, grasslands and arable lands. Recordings of "Ode to the Nematode" and two other parts of the Soil LIVE concert emerged from mole heaps in a sculpture garden at Dutch Designweek 2024, in the artwork "Vibes from Below".
At Cultura and Kröller Müller Museum he is one of the dedicated teachers of "Mijn Beeldentuin" and some other art/technique workshops, visiting many Ede schoolclasses each year.
