IKEA Hack: Add wheels to the Knarrevik nightstand to turn it into a moveable video projector stand

admin — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 22:58:04 +0000

The Knarrevik nightstand is the perfect size for a short-throw video projector, but it is tedious to move around. The solution: add wheels, fixed below an additional plate taken from a second Knarrevik (it is only 13€).

1. Get 4 wheels and some 8 mm plywood to affix them to. Remove the white plastic feet from the 4 legs.

2. Cut out 2 strips from the plywood that can slide under the folded-in edges of the metal plate. It will be held in place by the black screws that affix the legs. The toughest part is to drill 8 additional holes at the bottom of the legs at the right positions. I used an M8 metal drill and a round metal file to correct the inevitable misalignments with the screw holes in the plate.

3. Pre-drill through the 8 plate holes into the plywood, affix the wheels with 16 8mm wood screws, and mount the legs to the plate. Check the angles before mounting the 2 other plates to the existing screw holes.

4. That’s it, enjoy your moveable projector stand! The remaining parts still make for a small side table, but could need some diagonal trussing to make it more stable.

Duo Guylaine Cosseron (voice) & Diemo Schwarz (electronics) at Les dimanches de l’impro, Les Pianos — Montreuil

A deep dive into the plasticity of the voice and the fathomlessness of embodied electronics. The plastic edge and the internal body. How can the voice make visible what escapes sight? Through improvisation, Guylaine Cosseron and Diemo Schwarz deal with the duality and complementarity between vocal performance and digital tools. A poetic work that questions the relationship between humans, animality and machines. CD:

Guylaine Cosseron is a singer, vocalist and composer, Artistic director of Cie Vocal Unlimited in Normandy. Specialist in improvisation and the use of the voice as a musical instrument. Her eclectic voice, diverted in search of an internal sound world through great vocal technicality visiting all the music of the world through free improvisation.

Diemo Schwarz plays with electronic materials rich in timbres and textures, exploring different corpora of sound using gestural controllers, thus allowing expressiveness and the body to dialogue with the digital instrument. His use of concatenative synthesis recomposes the space of sounds and questions their intrinsic qualities. By freeing them from their usual contexts, they reveal unsuspected riches.

L’ONCEIM

Fondé en 2011 sous l’impulsion de Frédéric Blondy, ONCEIM est un orchestre de 35 musiciens et un collectif qui rassemble leurs différents projets.

L’ONCEIM se consacre à la création contemporaine en expérimentant plusieurs modes d’élaboration, de transmission et de composition musicale. Dans ce processus de travail, chaque musicien a un rôle créatif majeur, construisant la musique par sa virtuosité singulière et le vocabulaire musical qu’il élabore à travers son instrument.

ONCEIM réunit des instrumentistes de très haut niveau qui développent des pratiques instrumentales et des styles musicaux totalement personnels. Ils sont interprètes et/ou improvisateurs et/ou compositeurs, et souvent les trois à la fois, ce qui leur permet de saisir pleinement les complexités et les subtilités de la musique d’aujourd’hui.

Engagé dans une approche très plastique du sonore, l’ONCEIM s’intéresse à la création de formes musicales inédites. Il sollicite des commandes-collaborations auprès d’artistes sonores ou compositeurs au parcours atypique (Éliane Radigue, Stephen O’Malley, Karl Naegelen, Peter Ablinger,…). Des personnalités fortes et singulières du paysage musical actuel ayant rarement l’occasion de se confronter à l’orchestre.

Audio–Visual Performance Extense with Nicolas Souchal, Théatre Astrée, Lyon

admin — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 19:00:04 +0000

Nicolas Souchal (augmented trumpet) and Diemo Schwarz‘s (computer music design, visuals) art–science research studies the correspondences between the sound and visual worlds, as well as the sharing of control between humans and machines. To do this, a computer exploits the sounds of the trumpet in two ways. On the one hand, it applies live processing to these sounds, on the other hand, it analyzes them and draws from them the way in which the video navigates in a corpus of images of paintings by Elisabeth Saint-Jalmes. The public is invited to construct their own sensitive experience of the device and to interpret the correspondences between images and sounds.

Nicolas Souchal‘s inventive trumpet playing is in this project doubly extended by audio transformation and video generation, thanks to the cocavs project from Diemo Schwarz‘s art–science residency at Iméra – Institut d’études avancées d’Aix-Marseille Université.
