Arie\u2019s work is rooted in a fascination with improvisation, relational\/community based art making, and making music by building dynamic systems. Arie\u2019s compositions have been performed throughout Canada, the US, and The Netherlands by ensembles including Orkest de Ereprijs, the Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra, the Residentie Orkest, and the Cygnus Trio. From 2020 &#8211; 2022, Arie was the composer in residence at Jumblies Theatre in Toronto, where he worked with the Gather Round Singers, a community choir who were forced to make music online during the COVID-19 lockdowns. Collaborating with dozens of artists and community participants at Jumblies, Arie wrote music for a large-scale performance titled In This Moment which was composed to incorporate the issues of latency, feedback, and audio quality that are inherent on platforms like Zoom as fundamental aspects of the music.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Arie\u2019s work has been heard at film festivals across the world, having written scores for director Carol Nguyen\u2019s award-winning short films <em>No Crying at the Dinner Table<\/em> (2019), and <em>Nanitic<\/em> (2022). He is also a dedicated fan of Toronto\u2019s local DIY film scene, and regularly collaborates with filmmakers and media artists in the city. Some of his favourite projects include the collaborative quarantine community film Insomniac: <em>The Movie<\/em> (2020), the free-improvised live-scored short film festival <em>VIDEOCRUNCH<\/em> (2019 &amp; 2021), and the competetive-cooking based sung-through film <em>COOKSTOWN: The Musical<\/em> (dir. Adam Bovoletis, 2018). As a violist, Arie has performed in concerts for Continuum Contemporary Music, NUMUS Concerts, Korzo Theatre, and the Opera Forward Festival. Developing various systems to perform and improvise on the viola with live electronics has been a central focus of his work as a performer, collaborating with electroacoustic harpist Grace Scheele in an ambient\/electroacoustic improv duo Slipstreams with an upcoming EP in 2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arie Verheul van de Ven is a composer, improviser, and music educator hailing from Toronto.
