Eric Vloeimans speelt de track Lex in het TV programma De Wereld Draait Door (d.d. 10/10/2011)

Lex staat ook op zijn CD Live at the Concertgebouw, hier te bestellen.

Eric Vloeimans and Martin Fondse composed the music for Audition. 

This composition is named after Lex van Weren, the trumpet player who survived Auschwitz. His story was an inspiration for Udo to create his short film.

Presenting the official trailer for Audition

Synopsis (Dutch)
In een concentratiekamp gaat een jongen auditie doen voor het kamporkest. Hij neemt afscheid van zijn vader en loopt alleen verder naar wat een executieplek blijkt te zijn. Tijdens zijn spel vlucht hij in een fantasiewereld, maar met zijn laatste noot keert de werkelijkheid terug: hij staat voor het vuurpeloton en wacht op de beslissing. Zijn vader luistert van een afstand mee.

Muziekcompositie (Dutch)
Martin Fondse en Eric Vloeimans kennen elkaar al vele jaren en werkten al diverse keren samen aan bijzondere projecten. Ook solo hebben deze eigenzinnige muzikanten al een groot oeuvre op hun naam staan, waaronder diverse filmmuziekcomposities. De compositie voor Auditie werd in april 2011 opgenomen.

SHELTER FOR A FILM / SCHUILPLAATS VOOR EEN FILM

Will be an installation based on the experiences of censored and imprisoned artists.
The audience walks through the steel contours of doors and their peepholes which symbolize prison corridors.
In the centre stands one shelter in which he film Audition is running.
A second shelter is unfinished, providing a roof but no refuge.

Through the peepholes the audience will see works based on the experiences of writers, poets, musicians, photographers and other artists who have been imprisoned for their art.

SHELTER FOR A FILM
is developed by Udo Prinsen & Pieter van der Veen

We are currently looking for a location and ways to finance this plan. If you would like to contact us for information, please send an email to info@carambolas.nl

This animation and its music were created by Jasper ten Kleij

This poster was designed by Gerco Hiddink, the one half Hartebeest from Nijmegen. Gerco and his first mate Maaike van de Heuvel have helped me a great deal during the last year. Not just by designing this beautiful poster, but also by reflecting on the choices I had to make while designing my film. I am very happy to have creative friends like them. They are just starting out their brand new design studio Hartebeest, first they were working individually and sometimes together, now they are an official team. Keep an eye on them.

Eric Vloeimans, Susanna von Canon & Martin Fondse are watching the work in progress version of the film Audition.
Eric and Martin will compose and record the music.

This is a wonderful photo of the trumpet that Lex van Weren played during his imprisonment in Auschwitz. He was part of the camp orchestra and as he said, without this musical instrument he would certainly have not survived.

You can find the trumpet on display at the museum and Rememberance site Camp Westerbork.
