songs for the mussel piano, duet with mister janssen
rowan van as contributed a new performance. _in his performances he regularly uses one of his musical instruments such as trumpet, piano or accordion, but he also uses objects or self-made objects to create sound, meant to reinforce the visual aspect of his installations and objects in a performative manner and vice versa. _the objects are often artefacts of everyday life that becomes part of the show in a humorous way. _for example, he built a mussel piano and an oscar trash can from where music is played, and he converted an old comfy chair from the 90s into a sound assembly in which the sound of gulls was recognizable when turning at the bottom of the chair. _he also sometimes plays the theme of pipi. _it embodies the idea that your living space is just as much a work of art, a prevailing trend in the rotterdam underground_ van as also organizes events under the name sunny side up, from his home / studio
