Practice & experience
Live-sampling artist and synthesist Ivo Bol builds his own sound world from found sound: the hum of a refrigerator, a forgotten cassette tape, the crackle of an LP before the music starts, manipulated through plants, radios, and brainwaves alongside old and new electronics. He is a member of the electro-krautjazz band Lokhipster and a frequent improviser in the Amsterdam scene. His third solo album, Everything Is a Frequency, is a meditation in sound inspired by the merging of spirituality and conspiracy theory, combining guided meditations and esoteric voices with electronic pop.
