  1. September – The Big Update

    Wildtek @ Sea enters a new season with big evolutions: a DJ set at 'T Pakhuus, fresh Ostend business contacts, a leveled-up 5-variation field recording pack format, a stronger push into video, and new posts exploring Ostend's fishing culture through fresh fish and home cooking.

  2. Travelear “Creator”

    Travelear is a virtual wellness travel app that streams high-definition, authentic 3D binaural field recordings captured by independent creators around the world. Built specifically for headphone listening, the audio uses a special microphone shaped like a human head to replicate exactly how humans hear direction and depth.

  3. Birthday

    Ostend, my favourite city in Belgium, gave me the perfect birthday: shrimps by the Vistrap, hours at the beach, a mysterious vessel in the restricted harbour zone, and an unexpected reunion that turned into a DJ set on 4 September. Sometimes the best magic isn't the recording, it's the people.

  4. Ostend – Vessels – Field Recording

    Ostend’s vessels are endlessly fascinating to me, their machinery, aesthetics, and the noise of life on board. This pack gathers recordings of fishing and industrial vessels, from the DC Orisant dredger at dawn to a crowded Greenpeace Arctic Sunrise, captured across different mics, distances, and one very lo-fi night at the harbour.

  5. Oostende Voor Anker 2026 Part 05 – The best!

    Classic Porsches, a flat-six recording session, and an unplanned invitation into Ostend’s fish-processing world, the final Oostende Voor Anker post is full of chance encounters: a gallery painting that stopped me in my tracks, a black-and-white photo studio, and a gin distillery I can’t wait to go back and record.

  6. Oostende Voor Anker 2026 Part 04 – Greenpeace “Arctic Sunrise”

    After crossing to Oosteroever and spending time at Oyster's Bay, one of the highlights of my weekend was visiting Greenpeace's Arctic Sunrise. The experience reignited my musical project, Arctic Cycles, and even opened the possibility of one day boarding the vessel to document its missions through sound, images, and film.

  7. Oostende Voor Anker 2026 – Blue Village & Notre Énergie Cooperative

    Inside the Blue Village at Oostende Voor Anker 2026: a visit to Notre Énergie, the citizen cooperative offering co-ownership of offshore wind farms near Zeebrugge. Green energy, real participation, and a USB-C fan shaped like a turbine. Part 03 of my three-day maritime coverage.

  8. Oostende Voor Anker 2026 Part 02 – Aboard the Kamper Kogge & Vera Cruz

    From the Mercator marina to the decks of two historic vessels, the Kamper Kogge and the Vera Cruz. Part 02 of my Oostende Voor Anker 2026 coverage explores medieval and Renaissance-era ships, childhood maritime dreams, and a field recording idea that won't let go.

  9. Oostende Voor Anker 2026 Part 01 – Seals, the Vistrap & Aboard the Broodwinner

    Early morning in Ostend for Oostende Voor Anker 2026. Seals on the beach, fish at the Vistrap, and a solo visit aboard the fishing vessel Broodwinner. Part 01 of a three-day maritime journey through one of Belgium's most iconic tall ship festivals.

  10. Cuttlebone – A Coastal Find Worth Knowing About

    Between two field recording spots on the Belgian coast, I found a cuttlebone half-buried in the sand. Pale, lightweight, and deceptively intricate, this is the internal shell of the cuttlefish, built from aragonite and engineered for buoyancy. Here is everything worth knowing about this common but fascinating coastal find.

  11. DC Orisant – The Trailing Suction Hopper Dredger That Made My Easter Morning

    Easter Monday, Ostend harbour, 6 AM. The city is still asleep when a 142-metre trailing suction hopper dredger quietly prepares to leave the port. The DC Orisant, a beast of Dutch engineering, offered one of the most unexpected and stunning field recording sessions I've had on the Belgian coast.

  12. Overzetboot Ostend / Field Recording

    The Overzetboot is Ostend's free passenger ferry and a surprisingly rich field recording location. For this session I used the LOM Geofon for the very first time, capturing structural vibrations straight through the hull. Short crossing, open harbor views, Ostend skyline and not a cent to pay.

  13. ESVAGT Mercator – Service Operation Vessel

    Another fascinating vessel spotted during my visits to the Belgian coast! The ESVAGT Mercator is a regular presence at the Port of Oostende, and it's hard not to be impressed by this compact yet remarkably capable ship. Don't be fooled by its size, this vessel is a key player in Belgium's offshore wind energy sector.
