Rinus Van Alebeek using simple sound capturing systems like microphones connected to old Walkmans and dictaphones. During its concerts he mixes and processes many of its tapes with the help of a mixer and an effects pedal, creating powerful lo-fi sound collages between noise and pure poetry.
The artistic biography of Rinus Van Alebeek is divided by himself in two periods: prehistoric and historic The prehistoric period goes from the birth of Christ until the year 1989 a.c. The historic period begins in 1989 and it is divided in three categories: literature, visual arts and sound art.
