A free improvisation evening with the seven a rtists coming together for the first time!!!
B iliana Voutchkova is a dynamic, thoroughly engaged interdisciplinary artis t, violinist, composer-performer, improvisor and curator with highly indiv idual, unconventional artistic language. Through the prism of listening, h er early training in classical music and the years of development as conte mporary artist-performer, she explores states of spontaneity and intuitive resonance embodied in her multifaceted activities.
Aaron Lumley is a Canadian contrabassist living in Amsterdam since 2019. He is an explora tory musician who tunes his bass in fifths and plays with a self-made bow. In addition to solo work, Lumley plays in Bioluminus (w. Ada Rave & O nno Govaert), Old Adam on Turtle Island (w. John Dikeman, Marta Warelis &a mp; Sun Mi Hong), Duke Garwood and Parkland Music Project among others.
Maya Felixbrot is a musician, movement artist, and music-theatre make r whose work explores the poetics of chaos through sound, movement, and pe rsonal, social, and political conflicts.
Ivo Bol creates his own so und world using found sounds: the hum of a refrigerator, a forgotten casse tte tape, the crackle of a vinyl record before the music begins. During pe rformances he manipulates these sounds using plants, radios and brainwaves . Under the name Vinkepeezer, Bol composes music for dance and theatre pro ductions, filmmakers and visual artists in the Netherlands and abroad.
Over the past two decades the work of Netherlands-based, Belgrade-born harpist and composer Milana Zarić has continually pushed the boundar ies of her instrument and forged new ground in collaborative creation. For merly principal harpist with the Belgrade Philharmonic Orchestra, she spec ialises in post-1960 repertoire, new composition and free improvisation.
Fani Konstantinidou is a composer and sound artist interested in cul tural, cross-cultural, and social identities, and their sonic imprints. He r main topics of interest are urban and rural sonic environments, spoken l anguage, and culturally associated musical instruments. She creates variou s types of works such as site-specific and multichannel compositions, alon g with live, often improvised, performances.
Jasna Veličković is a Belgrade-born composer and performer based in Amsterdam. Her artistic outp ut has been developed through an interaction between a life-long fascinati on with sound and an inclination toward experimentation. Her work investig ates how magnetic phenomena can become compositional systems, with a parti cular focus on magnetism as both sonic material and compositional method.< /p>
