EspañolYURI LANDMAN
'Yuri Landman' (born January 2, 1973) is a Dutch artist most well known for his work as an experimental luthier, but also active as a comic artist, musician, singer.
Self-taught artist Yuri Landman made his debut in the comics field in 1997 'Je Mag Alles Met Me Doen' (in Dutch language only). In the follow-up, released in 1998, 'Het Verdiende Loon', Landman described ''the suffocating atmosphere of a mediocre office, where all the employees are small-minded and egocentric. Landman worked for an advertising company himself, and when he was fired in 1997, he put all his experiences in this autobiographical comic''.[1] For the second title he received the ''Price from Breda 1998'', an award for rising new comic artists in Holland. Since then he has published no other comic books.
Together with Cees van Appeldoorn, he formed the lo-fi band Zoppo. After 2 albums and several 7”singles, Landman left the band.
Landman then formed the noise band Avec Aisance (aka Avec-A) with drummer/producer Valentijn Höllander and released a CD, ''Vivre dans l’aisance''.
During his period in Zoppo, Yuri played bass and prepared guitar.
Tired of the difficulties of sound reproduction of his guitar recordings, Landman began creating and building several experimental string instruments.
Landman has made electric zithers, electric Cymbalum, electric 3rd bridge guitars, and electric Koto.
In the period 2000-2005 Landman created 9 prototypes.
★ ''The black 4-string movable 3rd bridge zither.''
★ ''The red capozither'', shown on the cover of Vivre dans l’aisance.
★ ''Robocop'', a 6 string heavily adjusted guitar with 2 additional bridges and 3 outputs.
