Dominique Slegers

(my biggest supporter)

Dominique has a formidable list of skills in her repertoire. She is an organized thinker; systematic in her process and very thorough in all details associated with each level of preparation. She has an ability to have a broad overview of each project while maintaining the precision on the micro and macro levels. Dominique is passionate and sensitive to each project, rarely able to “just work” without meaning.

Yamaha

(instrument builder)

Why do I play Yamaha tubas? Simple… Quality! I perform on the Yamaha York CC tuba (YCB826), YFB822, and the YFB 821. Yamaha Tubas set the standard for quality, sound, and innovation. In choosing the instruments for my work I was immediately drawn to the workmanship of this wonderful company. The sound of my YCB 826S YamaYork in the larger symphonic repertoire is unsurpassed while I use my YFB 822 and YFB821S Custom tubas for all my ensemble and solo needs. What a luxury to be able to choose! Yamaha, the instrument for artists.

Utrecht Brass

Today the organisation founded in the Dutch city of Utrecht boasts three theatres and a broad professional network that allows amateur artists the opportunity and room necessary in order for their talents to flourish and evolve optimally. In the next years, ZIMIHC will present several international music events in the city of Utrecht.

The identities of places can be understood by the activities which are found there. I strive to define these identities by observing and documenting the ambiguous relationships objects have with places. My work focuses on the residual information which people and history imprint on environments. The information I photograph is often open-ended which is most of the time the way I encounter it. The photographs which result are a means of analyzing space by observing the composition of objects juxtaposed alongside their functional and aesthetic properties in order to better understand the notion of human activity upon any given location.
