Podcasts and documentaries
that go deeper into
the work we make.

doubleA tapes is the media series of doubleA. It brings together documentaries in which Michel van der Aa meets the artists he works with, and podcasts that deepen the subjects of our work.

At what point does the person you love become a stranger to you? How do we stay connected when we no longer believe in the same facts? These are the questions at the heart of Michel van der Aa's opera Theory of Flames, and of this episode of doubleA tapes.

Philosopher Daan Roovers leads a conversation with journalist Menno van den Bos, behavioral scientist Jan-Willem van Prooijen, and composer and director Michel van der Aa, exploring truth, power, and the fragility of shared reality.

Spoken in Dutch, with English subtitles. Duration: 70 minutes.

Michel van der Aa has always been drawn to artists who resist easy categories—people who move between worlds, who refuse to stay in one place.

This series is his attempt to understand them better. To sit down with artists he admires and explore what drives them. Not just the work they make, but the obsessions behind it. The questions they can't let go of.

In each episode, he sits down with a collaborator—while they're deep into making something new. They discover how their fascinations intersect, and feed into the work they're building together.
