 Christoph de Boeck has a long term fascination for the acoustic and material properties of steel, that is for sure. I remember meeting him 10 years ago in a workshop on generative and interactive music, and since then started to attend some of his installations and performances. Christoph is an artist of all trades, collaborating with performers and installation artists, directing the experimental Overtoon studios also open for other sound artists. He is working with very different themes, let's say from bio art to high tech sound art and everything that fits in between or not. Some years ago, I remember that Overtoon was moving from the 12th floor of an abandoned hospital in the centre of Brussels. A large space served as a storage for the multiple tons of steel plates by Christoph. Since then I developed a secret interest in the aspect of steel in the oeuvre by artist De Boeck.  Christoph de Boeck has a long term fascination for the acoustic and material properties of steel, that is for sure.
