Pjotro - The man with the musical suit

My apologies.

2007-10-29T19:06:00.000+03:00

My dear fans, I am so sorry for not having found time to write on my
blog for some time. I am using my time to construct plans for world
domination in the year of 2008. I am also using a lot of time to
further work on my merchandise which I hope to have ready to be in
stores near you soon. If not near you where you are, then near you on
the internet. I am waiting so much to get this all up and running! I
love dancing!

Merchandising

2007-10-01T13:51:00.000+04:00

After I have posted the picture of the Pjotro swimwear I have
realised that there may be many other requests for other Pjotro-
branded merchandise. Therefore I am now planning to create a range of
Pjotro merchandise. So far I have created some designs for t-shirts,
posters, bags and so on. If there is something special you would like
to have with Pjotro, please write to me and I will try to make your
dreams come true. If you like to drink coffee, maybe you like the
design for my cups?

Another fan mail

2007-09-17T16:23:00.000+04:00

Mr David Brown from London has written to me. Mr Brown writes “Congratulations on such a successful piece of work” and added some questions:

1. Have you considered putting dancers from other music genres into your suit?
- My suit is made for me and me only. Even though I could create different sounds to make for other genres, I would not like to have any other person in my suit with me.

2. Have you tried to map real-world instrument sounds to your suit?
- The sounds that I make are from the real world. What do you mean?

3. Do the moves come about because you like a sound that's made, or
do you like a sound then map it to a gesture?
- I like music, and I like to dance. I would like to think that I create my moves and music in both ways. Sometimes the music makes the move, and sometimes the move makes the music.

Thank you David Brown for writing to me, and good luck with your projects!

I have enjoyed vacation

2007-09-06T17:35:00.000+04:00

This summer I have also been on vacation. I went to the beach.
The weather was hot and the water was warm. I decided to go without my suit. I did not think that swimming in the suit was very good idea, because water and electronics do not mix. I devised a pair of swimming-shorts from some left over material
from my suit production.
I met a man who loved my swim-shorts so much that I have given them to him. He was so happy, he even sent me a picture of himself wearing them. Hot, yes?

The top inventions of all time

2007-08-29T10:58:00.000+04:00

Being an inventor, I have many favourite items that have been
invented. On my list of favourite inventions of all time I have
included the following items. The oscilloscope (great for viewing
signal voltages). The soldering iron (I cannot live without it). The
Nokia N95 (I am very pleased with this invention). The football
(comment not needed). My suit. I believe you must try my suit to
fully understand how intelligent it is. I hope to arrange a testing
day soon. This was my list.

My dream collaborations

2007-08-24T17:55:00.000+04:00

Although I am now a real music artist, I have other musical dreams and ambitions. Among many these include my dream duets and performances. Including typical artists such as Jean-Jacques Perrey, Jean-Michel Jarre, Gary Numan, and Klaus Schulze – but I also think about performing with modern musicians such as A Flock of Seagulls, Roxy Music, The Human League, or even The Moog Cookbook. If I could sing with someone, I would have to sing with Cher. She is the best.

New dance moves

2007-08-13T17:23:00.000+04:00

I have spent some time now with my new suit. The new sounds have enabled
me to create new moves. I have fitted a tone-shift to the suit. With this
I can now create sounds for a longer time. I consider my new sounds to
have more emotion. And feeling. Perhaps I can even bend the tone-space
continuum? It is amazing. I combine the movements of the head and body, my
dance is now better then ever before. I hope you will enjoy!

My new suit

2007-08-09T22:53:00.000+04:00

I have decided to upgrade my suit. I have spent many hours doing this. To
be able to create a whole new range of sounds. The technique is the same,
moving my body to the beat. A world tour requires new ways of creating
music. When I begin my tour I will take my performance to new levels
thanks to my new suit. Please contact me if you also wish for Pjotro to
perform on your show or festival.

Pjotro answers the fans

2007-07-26T19:40:00.000+04:00

I have received several electronic mails with questions from my fans.
Some have even sent me letters telling me much they like me and my
suit. Thank you to all of you. Now I am going to answer some of all
these questions.

Glenn Dreher asks: “Do you rent your suit out for weddings or class
reunions?”

Pjotro: I have never considered this. But I will gladly perform at
your wedding if you are having one.

Wade Hampton Miller writes: “If you had a small keyboard of 8 or 12
keys on your thigh you could play more involved melodies, and perhaps
intersperse them as a theme or motif throughout your performances.”

Pjotro: Thank you Wade, but no thank you. My music comes from
dancing, that is why I have created this suit this way. If I wanted
to play keyboards, then no need for the suit!

Sekou Crawford asks: “I worked at NASA. I helped design spacesuits
with sensors. Would you consider integrating biological sensors
(breathing rate, heart rate, pulse ox, ekg, temperature, emg) into
your suit for music as well?

Pjotro: I have thought about this too. But I am not sure the music
would benefit. My breathing is fine thank you.

Josh Fernau wrote to me: “Have you ever tried to get on some American
late night shows?”

Pjotro: Thank you Josh, I will try to perform on American Television
in the near future.

Simon Costin: “All the girls in my office want to see some pictures
of you without the suit on! Do you have any?”

Pjotro: why?

My video has been leaked!

2007-06-26T16:16:00.000+04:00

I am very upset. I have sent my test video of the new features on my musical suit to a couple of friends. Now, I have found this exact video leaked onto the internet. I am upset because not only have my secret new moves been revealed, but my “friends” have also let me down. This is why I have decided to share the video on my blog. My friends are not to be allowed to share Pjotro with the world – Pjotro is! So here it is all my fans, I hope you enjoy. I look forward to perform every day now.

I have a rider

2007-06-10T13:47:00.000+04:00

my rider
Originally uploaded by Pjotro on my Nokia N95.

I have today created a rider. This is what all great music stars have when they perform. It is similar to demands. I have carefully planned this in accordance with my show. In my rider I have included 4 bottles of water against dehydration, spare shoelaces, a soldering iron, 3 9-volt batteries, reserve flat cables, and a charger for my Nokia N95. Now I will be a success even before I perform. I am so happy to finally being able to dance in front of a large audience.

My Nokia N95

2007-05-01T15:25:00.000+04:00

I have received the latest in technology to help me become music. Nokia, who have long supported my musical suit, have sent me the N95 Multimedia Computer. I have to say, I am impressed! It is almost as intricate and well constructed as my musical suit. With my new device I will be able to update this blog from on the go! I can record my dancing and share it with everyone. I have also included the N95 in my new performance, recording the sounds I make with my suit. Thank you Nokia!

Ladies and Gentlemen – Pjotro!
