Danya Pilchen and Jasna Veličković invite you to th e first edition of their new concert series

IT’S ABOUT TIME!!

 

The series centres on research-based practices that evade def inition and do not fit within

traditional new music concert situatio ns and genres. It focuses especially on artists that work in

the bou ndaries between media and that have imaginative approaches to time and spa ce.

Every edition of IT’S ABOUT TIME!! will feature composers, perfo rmers, and interdisciplinary

artists, inviting them to showcase thei r practices through lectures and Q&As followed by

performances o r fixed-media demonstrations.

For the first edition, Danya will prep are an improvisatory work highlighting the relationship

between perc eptions of space and time through acoustic feedback, spatialisation, and f ield

recordings, and Jasna will present insights from her long-term project The Art of Coil, in which

she explores electromagneti c phenomena as both sound source and compositional material.

Danya Pilchen is a composer based in The Hague. His main interest lies in the human

experience of time and music’s ability to shed light on it. He has composed for a wide range of

set tings, including solo, ensemble, and orchestra, as well as theatre product ions. A significant

part of his practice involves creating immersive sound installations that incorporate instrumental

performances.

Danya’s music is closely intertwined with his research into collective experiences of time in

musical practices. Understanding time as an e merging property of consciousness affected by

social interactions ne cessitates increased attention to the relationships between musicians and< /p>

audiences in Danya’s pieces. To facilitate these interactions, he em ploys various compositional

strategies and listening techniques enga ging the materiality of sound.

 

Jasna V eličković is a composer based in Amsterdam. Since 2008, Jasna has been

experimenting with and researching within the sound world of the ma gnetic field—the

omnipresent, yet usually completely silent elements in human life. Her journey into the unknown

started with an explora tion of the sound produced by manipulating coils as parts of complex

sound systems, including classical instruments as sound sources. A purely serendipitous event

in 2013 led her to the discovery that magnets c an also produce sounds when applied to coils in

certain ways. This d iscovery ultimately resulted in the invention of the Velicon, the instrume nt

which she has been composing for and performing on ever since. Th e investigations of the

musical force of the magnetic field also led to the introduction of other seemingly silent objects

as sound sour ces.
