Upcoming concert events (29-5-2001).
The coming months there will be at least two concerts abroad - one in Poland and one in the United States. We are even talking about making two little tours out of these single gigs, but at the moment nothing final can be said about this.

KOMP Festival Poland (June 15, 2001)
Wave World will perform as Main Act at the renowned KOMP Festival to be held on June 15th, 2001, in Kwidzyn, northern Poland. More information about this festival and the Wave World act can be found at http://komp.kwidzyn.top.pl and www.waveworld.tv

The Gatherings, Philadelphia, U.S.A. (Autumn 2001)
Wave World will feature a live show during the autumn of 2001, where they perform the Main Act as part of the 'Gatherings' series in the U.S.A. The 2001 Gathering season, organized by Chuck van Zyl, will be held in the church sanctuary of St. Mary's Hamilton Village, 3916 Locust Walk on the campus of the University of Pennsylvania in Philadelphia. For more information about this concert and series, please access the Gatherings websites at http://www.thegatherings.org and http://www.philadelphia.verio.net/~chuckv/gathering.html

Visitors of our upcoming concerts in Poland and the United States will be pleased to know that the Rolf and his "Virtual Factory" team are giving the 3D Graphics a complete overhaul. There is also a lot of dazzling new material that will definitely rock your shoes! Furthermore we will be again making digital video recordings of the shows, which we plan to incorporate in our LIVE VIDEO, planned for release somewhere during the end of 2001!

Wave World Website completely revised! (29-5-2001).
Well, to be honest: it was long overdue. As you can see there's a lot of new material. As the site is getting more and more complex over time, we have also included a sitemap for all of you who are starting to get lost in the vast jungles of Wave World!

First Wave World commercial available (28-4-2001).
A first version of the first Wave World commercial - as seen at the Alfa Centauri Festival in Bussum, at the Quantum / Wave World stand - is dowloadable now from this website.

The Wave World stand at the 2001 Alfa Centauri Festival(28-4-01)

At the stand you will find our CD's, the Continuum Boxset, the M3M album, the T-Shirt, a new, beautiful information leaflet - and a television/videoset with some preliminary material of our forthcoming video and DVD, later this year! This year, all three members of Wave World will be at the stand, so if you have any questions about our music, the computer graphics or our live-shows, or if you want to have your albums signed - or if you just want to say hello, please visit us.

Wave World Concert at Maasrock cancelled. (24-07-00)
We are sorry to inform you that the Wave World gig at Maasrock (B), september 2nd, has been cancelled due to capacity problems of the concert hall. The organisation of Maasrock had originally planned the festival in a concert hall with room for 900 visitors, a large stage and a large wall for projection of the Wave World movie. So far so good. But... the management of this building, has sadly said 'NO' at the very last instant. This meant the organisation of Maasrock had to find another place for the festival. Because there was very little time left, there was not much choice, and although they were lucky enough to find a place at all, the new venue has only room for 400 persons, it has a very small stage and there is no room at all for a video screen.
We are very sorry if this spoils your day in Maaseik, but this is one of those typical examples of 'force majeure'. Anyway, now we're focussing on the London gig of October 14th, and we will even have some time for writing new material for the forthcoming 'Dimensions' album. Meanwhile there's also rumours of other concerts in a very different part of the world. We'll keep you informed...

STRUCTURES (July 2000)
After the release of their debut album 'Species', Gert van Santen and Harry Kessels - the musicians behind the Wave World project - have not exactly been resting on their laurels. A couple of months ago, their second album 'Structures' has hit the shelves. With computer designer Rolf van Slooten now being their third member, it's not surprising at all that 'Structures' looks absolutely stunning! The booklet and the back are illustrated with lots of images of their concert-movie and live gigs. Those of you who have visited the Alfa Centauri Festival, will surely recognize the cosmic dust sprinkling, slow motion 'helicopters' from the movie that also embellish the cover of the album and the picture CD. If you put the disc in your CD-player, you are treated to more than 70 minutes of wonderful electronic music. Music that is characterized by very strong rhythmic parts, full of exceptional effects and clever, subtly hidden treasures. This means that you can listen to the album over and over again and still discover new things the next time you play it! For example a very low bass that starts so very soft that at first you think there's a thunderstorm somewhere far away. Only after some time the sound becomes so evident that you can't miss it anymore - and then it's suddenly gone. The relatively high tempo of the music results in a lively atmosphere, and, combined with the pristine production and recording quality, I can absolutely recommend this Dutch EM product! And when you know that there's a QuickTime trailer of their concert movie on the CD, there's no reason at all not to buy it! Hats off!

It has been a while(12-06-2000)
It has been a while, but after the concert at the Alpha Centauri Festival on March 25, the Wave World members have taken the opportunity to sneek back to their regular day job to earn some money (we've got to eat too!) and recover a bit - which we really needed! After working too many nights till 5 o'clock in the morning, and the bustle of the concert, we were really exhausted. But now we're slowly showing a relapse into our Wave World addiction again...

Let's start right away with some very exciting news! Although this is not 100 % official yet, it is almost sure that Wave World will play a concert in London (GB) next autumn. The concert will take place in a very special venue, so pay attention to the official Wave World website for more news on this. We expect to receive the contracts in a week or so, and as soon as it's all settled, we will reveal the exact date and place on our website. Of course we will send all subscribers to our newsletter an e-mail with detailed information.

For the concert in Belgium, Maaseik, September 2nd, and the gig in England, we expect to have lots of new and even more exciting computer graphics. Rolf is already working very hard on new ideas, and the stuff he comes up with looks even more breathtaking than the things we had until now. Expect to find some samples of the new images to appear on the Wave World website very soon.
By the way, images. Rolf is working on a short movie of the concert at the Alpha Centauri Festival which will be downloadable from our website soon, so keep an eye out for this thingy...

Ah, we almost forgot about the music. Gert and Harry are already working on new material for the third Wave World album that should come out in 2001. The title of the album is going to be 'DIMENSIONS'. As soon as there are finished tracks, we will put some MP3 files on the website.

And here's a special message for people living in The Netherlands in the Arnhem / Wageningen area. There will be a live radio interview with Wave World on radio DALUX, 107.7 FM, Wednesday, June 14th, 21:00 - 23:00. Of course the listeners can expect some music as well!

First pictures of the live concert available(19-4-00)
Look for the first pictures on the concertinfo/concertpictures page.

Downloadable Movie of the live concert (11-4-00)
We are now working on a short impression of the live concert in quicktime format. You can download this movie from the website next week. Virtual Factory also started working on new waveworld images. After a short break they started to create even more spectaculair Waveworld scenes to complete the still not finished Waveworld concert movie. The new images will be kept secret until the next concert (with a few exceptions so stay tuned!). But we will reveal a lot of new images of waveworld from the last concert on the website soon.(watch the movie-snapshot page)

Slide Show of Alfa Centauri concert available soon (27-3-00)
Onno Groot has made a lot of wonderful pictures of the Wave World concert at the Alfa Centauri festival. We will put together a special slide show, which will be available for download later this week or next week. So be sure to check this site!

Wave World at the Alfa Centauri 2000 Festival (26-03-2000)
As many of our regular visitors know, on Saturday, March 25, Wave World was the main act at the Alfa Centauri 2000 Festival in Huizen, the Netherlands. Alfa Centauri has become the biggest EM event in the world (!), so you can understand that we were very proud to be invited as the main act at this important festival.

And what a great party it was! After wonderful performances by Pyramid Peak, Radio Massacre International, Robert Rich and Patrick Kosmos, it was our turn...
Rolf van Slooten and Vincent van Soest had been sweating until almost seven o'clock in the evening to copy the new version of the Concert Movie from the Virtual Factory computers to a Betacam tape. After arriving at the theater, they had to continue working their pants off in order to install the large video beamer in time. In the meantime, Harry and Gert were undergoing a drastic metamorphosis into fearsome creatures with the help of grease-paint and the newly acquired Wave World garb. These impressive robes, normally worn only by the High Priests of the Wave World planet, were especially designed and tailor-made by Helmy Nagelhout and Nathalie Scholten.

And everything went great! The new High Priest act, and the fact that lots of new, dramatic animations could be shown to the audience, definitely contributed to the success. Moreover, we are now able to show almost 65 minutes of moving images! All in all, saturday's show was much more sophisticated and elaborate than the ones in October and December 1999 - at least that's what the audience told us afterwards! To be honest, all these compliments really made us feel a bit shy. On the other hand, as you can understand, we are feeling proud as well, and we can assure you that we are working hard to make future concerts even more impressive!

Here are some of the more remarkable comments we got - after the concert - from people in the concert hall, other artists and visitors of the Quantum stand:

"This is a superb, world class act!" - Patrick Kosmos
"You guys are great!" - Robert Rich
"Jeez, I honestly got goose bumps!" - Eric Snelders
"Definitely an act with world class" - Roland Clercx, freelance electronic music critic
"Spitze! Wir sind grosse Fans von Eurer Musik." - Steffen Sachers
"Better than Pink Floyd!" - you know who you are, and you said we could quote you!
"When's the movie coming out on video?" - many people
"It's really something different." (like in: "I'd rather listen to Pavarotti") - Vera at the box office
"Totally unworldly stuff, man!" - Keimpe Dijk
"Awesome! Bizar!" - Cor Haitsma
"Frightening accuracy." - Tim van Veen
"The best concert I've ever seen!" - many people

Finally, the entire Wave World team would like to take this opportunity to thank all of you for coming to the show, buying so many of our albums and T-Shirts, and making this the best day of our musical careers to date! We hope to welcome you again at future events.

Editing Concert Movie started (15-03-00)
Today the Wave World team has begun the process of editing the material for the new Wave World Concert Movie, which will feature its premiere at Alpha Centauri on March 25. As some of our loyal fans may already know, the movie was not completely finished at our last concert, and although lots and lots of new, exciting scenes are added, the 'moving part' of the movie still isn't complete. This has two main reasons.

1. Designing, drawing and computing new images is an extremely time consuming business, especially when you depend on a day-time job to earn your living, so all you can do is work on the project during evening hours or in weekends. When you know that since the beginning of the multi media part of Wave World (June 1999) the computers of Virtual Factory have been working for almost 5,000 hours, just to render the images we have until now, you may start to realize the enormous extent of our quest. On the bright side: at Alpha Centauri we will be able to show you moving images at least 55 % of the time (was 28 %) and lots and lots of new, very dramatic stills.

2. After the concert of December 3d, the Wave World team has obtained a new software version of the 3D graphics program. This software now enables us to work much more detailed, so we can come up with even better images. The drawback, however, is, that drawing and rendering the images takes up even more time. In an upcoming video documentary of our live concerts (probably available from September 2000 at Quantum Records) we will show you a.o. how images are designed and drawn on the computer with MAYA. Keep a close eye on the news page for more information on this video documentary. Just for the record, and to show you that what we're doing is really cutting edge: the software we use is also used by George Lucas' Star Wars team.

As we have said from the beginning; Wave World is 'Work in Progress'. Because we are completely addicted to it, and because we really believe that the intermediate stages and the way we work can be interesting, or at least entertaining, to many people, we want to give our fans the opportunity to experience the project during all of its development. So enjoy your trip into time and space...

Section of 'Structures' on the Audio Page (14-3-00)
As promised earlier, we have now put a section of our newest song, 'Structures II', on the Audio page. 'Structures II' is Wave World's most recent song, and includes a.o. an atmospheric electric guitar part. The complete track can of course be found on the new album.

Artwork new album finished (29-2-00)
Yes, you've guessed right! The picture on the Home Page is the cover of the new Wave World album! Last night, after a long, but fruitful session, we finally left the Virtual Factory building at 2:00 with a copy of the artwork for 'Structures'. The CDR was brought immediately to the printing plant by Harry, who never seems to get tired. As you can see, we kept the images in the style of 'Species'. We decided it would be important for the albums to have the same kind of atmosphere, since everything on 'Structures', as well as on 'Species', revolves around the mysterious events that are slowly taking shape on this far away planet...
On the back of the cover you will find a large picture of one of the archaic technological structures found on Wave World, including six graphics from the concert movie and a short explanation about the project. The back of the album features 4 pictures of the live concert in Huizen on October 30, 1999. It really does look very cool!

If nothing goes wrong at the printing plant - which we sincerely hope - 'Structures' will be released at the Alpha Centauri festival in Huizen, March 25, where Wave World will play as the main act. See you there!

New album finished (21-02-2000)
The new Wave World album, 'Structures', is finished! 'Structures Part II', the last song for the new CD, was mixed today. Next week the album will be mastered. 'Structures will be released on the Alpha Centauri Festival on March 25, where Wave World will perform as the main act.

The tracklist of the new album will be:
1. Ouverture
2. The Mountain
3. Structures Part I
4. Structures Part II
5. Dimensions

Be sure to take a regular peak at the Audio page on this website, because very soon we will put a preview of the newest song, 'Structures Part II', on this site, downloadable as MP3!

Schallwende Elections 1999 (5-2-2000)
In the Schallwende Elections of 1999, Waveworld was elected 4th in the category Best Newcomers. Schallwende - the successor to the famous German 'Schwingungen Club' - organizes a contest once a year where the best electronic Albums, Musicians, Newcomers, Covers and Festivals are chosen by the public. Link: http://www.memi.com We want to thank everybody who voted for Waveworld!

New Trailer Out Now! (2-2-00)
If you click 'Wave World Trailers' on the home page, you will find a new version of our trailer. There are some big improvements made:
1. The overall image and sound quality is drastically improved.
2. Some new spectacular images are added.
3. A voice over is added (thanks, Pip!).
And don't forget this: if your connection is too slow to download the trailer, or if just don't want to be on line too long, you can order a CDR for NLG 15 from Virtual Factory - including some nice extra's for free. For details, see the Trailer Page.

Live Audio availible now! (30-1-00)
Finally we've found the time to set up the Audio Page! If you click on the 'loudspeaker' symbol on the home page, you are guided to a page that offers 8 audio files for downloading. All of these files are taken from the live concerts in Huizen and the Film Academy. If you've never heard Wave World before, this is your chance! All files are around 150 K, so that's no problem for most people. If you've got a faster connection, you might want to download 'El Nino', which is 1,78 Mb and around 5 minutes long.

Second Wave World album almost finished. (28-1-00)
With a new song in the making, Wave World's second album - working title 'Structures' - is almost ready for mastering. Because the quality of the live recordings on CD made by Gert and Harry in Huizen and at the Film Academy is very good, there might be some unedited material of those events on the album as well - which could be interesting if you've been there in person. For now, Gert and Harry plan to include the next songs on Structures:
1. The Mountain
2. Structures part I
3. Dimensions
4. Structures part II
Wave World hope to release their new album on March 25th, at the Alpha Centauri Festival.

Story of Wave World novel finished! (23-1-00)
After a very intensive brain storm session, Gert,Harry and Rolf have finished the story of Wave World! The working title for the novel will be:

WAVE WORLD - THE LAST FUNDAMENTAL.

Not surprisingly, THE LAST FUNDAMENTAL will be a science fiction story, and for now it will be kept very, very secret. Nevertheless, we can already share the text of the new trailer with you, which is a reflection of the contents of the story.

On a paradisaical world,
an invisible enemy threatens to destroy all life.
A young visionary, and a saviour from another world,
join forces to prevent this.
But an ancient mystery confronts them with the ultimate threat...
Wave World.
The Last Fundamental.

Special Wave World video in the making! (22-1-00)
Rolf, Vincent, Pim and the computers of the Virtual Factory team are momentarily working their pants off to get as much spectacular material in the next version of the Concert Movie. Although this sometimes means that 3 persons and 4 machines at once are labouring hard to create new images, it is obvious now that it will be impossible to finish the Concert Movie before the Alpha Centauri Festival. To salve the wound, and to accommodate the requests of a growing number of fans, Virtual Factory is planning to put together a one-time video with footage of the live concert in Huizen, as well as some of the most impressive scenes from the Wave World universe. More information will follow.

Wave World working on new song material. (16-1-00)
Since the beginning of January, Harry en Gert are working on a new song that will be over 20 minutes long. The working title of this piece is 'Structures part II'. It will feature not only some typical Wave World atmospheres, a rather up tempo rhytmic part with meandering sequences and an adventurous ending, but as well some completely new sounds that Harry and Gert have collected and programmed. As for the feeling, the song will fit in with the other new songs (The Mountain, Structures part I and Dimensions) that were played at the festival in Huizen and 3-D Day, last year.

Wave World Main Act on both Alpha Centauri and Maasrock! (1-1-00)
The organizers of both Alpha Centauri and Maasrock have decided to make Wave World the main act of their festival! Although this came to us as sort of a surprise - we're not THAT famous, after all! - we think this is a great opportunity, and we are motivated even more in making our project the spectaculair audio-visual event we have in mind.
