BOCA RATON
biography
Boca Raton is the ongoing musical project started by Martijn Tellinga (1974, Amsterdam, Netherlands) in 1999. It hovers at the edges of synthesized and concrete-acoustic soundworlds. By using elements of both worlds, its musical form shows the integration and co-existence of natural - unensembled - sound and its artificially created reflection. More than relying on melody, harmony and rhythm, these soundworks are constructed from the fundamental building blocks of music: texture, volume and time-elapse. A composition is made by arranging and re-arranging elements, large and small, by magnifying their characteristics, and by emphasizing the intrinsic value of the material.
