schemer by peter lenaerts

schemer is a new album by Belgian sound artist Peter Lenaerts.

schemer
[English] someone who makes clever, secret plans, often to deceive others
[Dutch] dusk

Peter Lenaerts works as a composer and sound designer in contemporary dance and performance art in Europe, Hong Kong and Australia. The music and soundtracks he creates are ephemeral by nature and often only exist as live performances, with no tangible record after the curtain calls.

On schemer, Lenaerts takes a different approach. Rather than creating music in response to actual movements in a rehearsal studio, he created music while imagining movement. More specifically, each track on schemer is inspired by and dedicated to a choreographer or dancer he's worked with.

Moreover, the mind often wanders, alone in the studio, and so each track name has a double meaning: one in English, one in Dutch.

A sucker for semantics.
