Binkbeats

OHM

Frank Wienk, aka Binkbeats, is an innovative producer and live performer from the Netherlands. While known for his highly personal blend of electronic and hip hop beats, with organic elements of jazz, funk, and soul, Wienk constantly expands his musical horizons by further exploring the boundaries between acoustic and electronic music. For his new project OHM he collaborated with multi-disciplinary artist Henk Schut, who created an installation that combines electro-acoustical objects with ritual percussion, while leaving room for modern electronic music gear. For OHM, Binkbeats wrote complex rhythmical pieces which he plays entirely live, with no looping involved. Traditional ritual drums meet drum-machine sounds, with big resonating metal plates positioned around the audience. A quadraphonic speaker setup drowns the audience in sound as the subtlest aural shifts are followed up by thunderous mayhem. Taking inspiration from ritual instruments and techno, Wienk’s polyrhythmic compositions draw the audience into a truly immersive sonic experience.
