Hi there!

I'm Bas, and I make things: music, ideas, design, code, and more. I was trained as an interdisciplinary mathematician, went on to do a masters in logic and PhD in computational musicology at the University of Amsterdam. All the while, I worked as a freelance graphic designer and webdeveloper at Studio Metrum. During my PhD I decided to take up a studies in classical voice, and I am now working as professional classical singer.


Research projects

  • 2022 — Algo Pärt: algorithmic recompositions of the music of Arvo Pärt (to be made public soon)
  • 2022 — Neural chant: composing plainchant with an LSTM (to be made public soon)
  • 2022 — Rhythm triangles: visualize rhythm in music and animal sounds using rhythm triangles.
  • 2022 — Melody squares: a project visualizing which melodic motifs can be found in a collection of melodies.
  • 2022 — Shapes of music: how can one best describe the shapes of melodic phrases in musics from across the globe? This paper adresses precisely that: contour typology.
  • 2021 — Catafolk: A catalogue of folk music corpora for computational ethnomusicology, presented at SysMus21.
  • 2021 — Social bonding or credible signaling?: two target articles in BBS discussed the origins of musicality. We asked and visualized where the commentators would position themselves in this debate.
  • 2021 — Cosine contours an ISMIR 2021 paper on a novel representation for melodic contours based on cosines.
  • 2020 — Mode classification and natural units in plainchant: an ISMIR 2020 paper that classifies mode in plainchant and by doing so finds evidence for a 'natural' units of chant. This paper won the best multi/interdisciplinary research award!
  • 2020 — GregoBaseCorpus and CantusCorpus are two large corpora of plainchant which we presented at DLfM 2020
  • 2017 — Painter: an animated drawing environment intended for online iterated learning experiments.
  • 2017 — Bayesian Language Games: a project that unifies iterated learning with naming games in a new Bayesian language game (MSc thesis)
  • 2016 — UvA speech to song dataset, presented at ICMPC 2016 (dataset to be made public soon)
  • 2015 — Analogy Colouring: a novel variant of the pictorial analogy task, that asks subjects to colour drawings in the same way (student project).

Websites

  • 2023 — Bes klein ensemble simple one-pager for the ensemble Bes Klein in which I sing.
  • 2022 – Iris Bouman Website for the amazing alto/mezzo Iris Bouman.
  • 2022 — Fonos simple one-pager for ensemble Fonos.
  • 2021 — Inquisitive semantics (2021) Website for the research field Inquisitive Semantics (together with Marianne de Heer Kloots)
  • 2020 — Catafolk Website for the Catafolk project.
  • 2019 — De aarde is onder mijn voeten (v2): New version for the website accompanying the book with the same name.
  • 2018 — clclab Website of the cognition, language and computation lab at the University of Amsterdam
  • 2017 — Tai Chi Doesburg Website for my fathers Tai Chi School in Doesburg.
  • 2016 — Fietsen met Welstand

Other projects

  • 2023 – gatsby-source-publications: Gatsby source plugin to pull publications from bibtex, DOIs, or ORCID and format them using Citation.js.
  • 2023 - Metrum Type Beta: an experimental variable color typeface implemented in Paper.js.
  • 2015 — Thread Arcs: thread arcs for the web (developed for use at De Omslag)
