Edwin Van Der Heide(1970~)
Edwin van der Heide studied Sonology at the Royal Conservatory, where he graduated in 1992. He is working as autonomous artist in the field of sound, space and interaction. His current work is hard to define in the traditional terms of music, sound art or media art because he is often working on the edge and the characteristics of the used medium. In this sense the medium does not just mediate but is being explored and redefined. Although qualities of musical language are being used in the development of the work it does not mean that the presentation form of the work is necessarily related to the concert form known in music. The result can either be an installation, a performance or an environment. In 1995 he was invited to become a teacher at the interfaculty Image and Sound / ArtScience of the Royal Conservatory and the Royal Arts Academy in The Hague, The Netherlands. Since 2002 he also teaches for the students of the Master of Media Technology program at Leiden University. /quotation from his site.
矢崎氏より借りたAs it in Heavenを観る。：２００４年スウェーデン映画。言語感がいい。なんといってもレナ役のFrida Hallgren(1974~)の微笑みと愛らしさは絶品。くらっとした。未だに聞いた事の無い曲という設定のラストの構想はエンディングにふさわしい。矢崎さん良いものを貸してくれてありがとさんです。付録のサウンドトラックCDメインテーマ(As it in Heaven)は非常に気持ちよい。癒された。
一緒に借りたImmortal Beloved(1994)：「ベートーベン不滅の恋」は、ギミックとしてのアプローチは面白いが、脚本が浅薄で物足りない。作曲家自体の描写が雛形からはみ出ていない。もっと詳細な資料から人間を明らかにしていただきたいものだ。欧米ではひとつの商品フォーマットなのだろうが、全ての台詞が英語であるという奇妙な感じが最後迄気になる。
