Seating is unreserved. There will be a mixture of seating, cushions and standing room available - please contact us if you have any specific requirements.
Human constructs and free nature become one in Tuning The Wind, the 4DSOUND-concert by Grand River. Dutch-Italian composer Aimée Portioli creates a synesthesia of organic sounds, field recordings and electronically manufactured music. For Tuning The Wind, Portioli recorded different types of wind, musical layers and pitches, and ultimately brought them together in a swirling composition. That swirl of soundwaves will quite literally arise during Aural Spaces, where the compositions are flowing through the space, all around you. Experience the atmospheric ambient topped with complex rhythms during this extradimensional performance, put in motion by an urge to make electronic music more natural in an innovative way.
Stijn van Beek Stijn van Beek is an
electronic music composer, producer and musician from the Netherlands.
His musical endeavours include producing music and DJ-ing for the
dancefloor, playing traditional folk music on the uilleann pipes (Irish
bagpipes) and composing abstract electronic ambient music. He is also one of the key developers of the 4DSOUND software.
For
this concert, he premieres Washed Away by the Waves, a piece about the
quest for simplicity and belonging in an over-complicated and
increasingly digitized world which seems to be falling apart.
