YappiScope
is Jaap Blonk's show with visual projections.
It is in ongoing progress, new inventions being added frequently.
It contains short videos, scores he wanders through, interactive animations,
live soundtracks to silent films and other new multi-media work, with
a lot of extended voice work as well as live electronics.
A first version was performed at San Francisco Cinematheque in 2012.
Further developments were shown at many places in the USA, Canada, South America and Europe.
It is on offer for venues with good projection and sound facilities.
