Headcollision began in the early 2000s with a series of soundtrack
collaborations between Henk and Luisa in Sydney, Australia, after meeting
a few years earlier in bland art college corridors in The Netherlands
where both attending. |
Their first independent piece, an electronic, whimsical lullaby, was duly released on the Dutch label “EatThis records”, (etr7: jip [cd, album]). Using various forms of aural mediums, they worked on their first EP: "Wish You Were There", with Henk creating menacing rhythm tracks and guitar samples and Luisa on vocals, as well as violin and computer samples. Will Reever on bass and Jo Meares on guitar completed the live outfit. They played across Sydney and in other states in Australia, 2004. The following year, Henk and Luisa had moved back to Europe and began immediate work on a follow-up album. “Circles of Longitude” was completed, receiving enthusiastic reviews in European forums. Headcollision also featured on an album of up-and-coming Dutch artists by the national pop institute and had a performance broadcast for an online music program. Audiences across The Netherlands were treated with mixed-media performances, including Eelco Bosman on guitar, and eventually Maarten Heintges on drums in 2006. The line-up: 2 guitars, voice and drums weaving around the large chunk of twisted and dangerous computer samples and broken beats. A third album is due to be completed at the end 2006. |

Josh's Cloud (music clip) |
 |
On a road trip through the isolated countryside of Australia, a group of friends come across a dubious character in a dodgy motel one night... One of the most scariest video clip around! Do NOT watch this one alone! Bring a friend to hide behind or a pair of rose-coloured glasses to lessen the pain! director: L. LaChouffe year: 2005 length: 6mins29 |
Legacy (music clip experiment) |
 |
editor: Henk Hop Experimental little study... |
Departure (music clip) |
 |
An abstract clip for the song "Departure" was inspired by Luisa and Henk's field trip to India. Waiting in departure lounges, the constant goodbyes, bland cafeterias and endless baggage are experiences all travellers must endure. Director: Henk Hop & Luisa LaChouffe It was shot on a now hopelessly outdated digital handycam but through creative editing and a heap of inspiration anything is possible! |
