Action Research 223:
Jaap Blonk
(The Netherlands)
"Jaap Blonk (born 1953 in Woerden, Netherlands) is a self-taught composer,
vocalist, poet and visual artist. His unfinished studies in mathematics and
musicology mainly created a penchant for activities in a Dada vein, as did several unsuccessful jobs in offices and other well-organised systems. In the early 1980s he discovered the power and flexibility of his voice, and set out on a long-term research of phonetics and the possibilities of the human voice.
At present, he has developed into a specialist in the creation and performance of sound poetry, supported by a powerful stage presence and an uninhibited feeling for improvisation. He performs and gives workshops worldwide on a regular basis.
With the use of live electronics and visuals the scope and range of his concerts has acquired a considerable extension.
To this date Blonk’s music has appeared on 30 CDs with his own Kontrans label; many other recordings as well as books with his visual work have been published in several countries."
