Gerard van Dongen works as composer/musician/computer programmer in Rotterdam.
With his own software for forcefeedback joystick and webcam as controllers, he performs and composes music and sound.

Two projects he is currently working on:

Pinball-machine-music: He is customizing a pinball machine (a 1992 data-east Maverick) to work as an alternative controller/sound installation. A general-purpose computer replaces the soundboard and the codes generated by the gameplay trigger different samples/compositions that are run on this computer. Premiering this fall.

Nacht: together with "het lokaal voor spannende zaken", he has made a radio-documentary about the night using interviews and location recordings: http://www.hetlokaal.nl/hoorspel/
He is now developing this into a performance, and building an installation/info-booth/website to solicit text and opinions from people that will be used in this piece. Premiering spring/summer 2005.
