Hoe klinkt een plek waar je niet kunt zijn?

Deze vraag draag ik de afgelopen maanden met me mee, sinds de uitwisseling met @space21sound niet door kon gaan afgelopen lente.

Zaterdag 12 september tijdens het @gaudeamusnl festival in @tivolivredenburg ga ik samen met componist @hardi.kurda op zoek naar mogelijke antwoorden op deze vraag. Hoe kun je als muzikant en componist een plek creeeren om elkaar te ontmoeten? Hoe kunnen we onszelf calibreren met de resontanties van een ruimte, en wat is de rol van iedereen die daarin aanwezig is?

What does a place you cannot be in sound like?

I've been carrying this question with me over the past months, ever since the exchange with @space21sound couldn't take place last spring.
On Saturday, September 12, during the @gaudeamusnl festival at @tivolivredenburg, I'll be exploring possible answers to this question together with composer and organiser @hardi.kurda. How can you, as a musician and composer, create a place to meet one another? How can we calibrate ourselves with the resonances of a space, and what is the role of everyone present within it?

On Monday, don’t miss the last Impro Jam of the season, this time at Onderbuik, a former command bunker in Utrecht!

This edition will be hosted together with BUI, a collective that is both an ensemble and a group of organizers committed to adventurous music and art.

Impro Jam weaves into their Freeplay Sessions and we’ll start early with a working session: a slightly more in depth playing together, working on questions and ideas around improvisation. After a soup together, we continue with the Impro Jam night!

BUI members Elsa van der Linden and Lucas Kloosterboer will perform as part of the initial group together with Felicity Provan and Ada Rave.

About the Impro Jam 🎲 it’s a meeting point to explore free improvisation and experimental music through collaboration, curiosity, and spontaneous music-making. Initiated in 2014 by saxophonist Ada Rave, each event starts with an initial group of artists, then other musicians are welcome to join with their instrument and jam on stage. Bring your instruments, dancers welcome!

Monday, 29 June
