Residence #5, Oscar Bettison, Spring & Summer 2024
Bettison’s music lives, thrillingly, on a razor’s edge between unpredictability and a groove wrought of full-bodied play. Bettison was fascinated from an early age by the interplay between the “weird, hazy, tenous aural image” in his imagination and the wild effort to wrestle it onto the page.
After studying in Amsterdam with Louis Andriessen and Martijn Padding, he learned to embrace this creative discomfort, crashing through challenges with fantastic, imaginative twists. Bettison continues to find inspiration in experimenting with different forms of music, which is the core of GRASpunt as well.
During his residency, Oscar Bettison and Stephanie Pan have been exploring the musical boundaries of mixtapes. Over the past few months, they’ve been immersing themselves in Graspunt.
