Zeno van den Broek, Les Percussions de Strasbourg & HIIIT 'Ways of [ ]'

15:00–16:00 at Korzo – Zaal

For this unique audiovisual performance, composer and audiovisual artist Zeno van den Broek brings together members of two world-renowned percussions groups – Les Percussions de Strasbourg, and HIIIT – to collaborate and interact with digital entities in an interweaving of technology and humanity. For the work, intelligences were developed that can sense and play with their accompanying percussionists, responding to one another as human performers might, and adapting and leading each other into strange new cybernetic rhythms. Drawing from increasingly urgent questions around how humans might relate to other forms of intelligence, van den Broek offers a vision of autonomous machines whose algorithms have been fed with rhythmic data from their ancestors: steam engines, looms, and other industrial machines – offering them a means of history- and sense-making beyond the logics of corporate machine-learning.

Berlinde Deman

17:00–17:40 at Korzo – Zaal

Known for her work across jazz, theatre, and classical music contexts, Berlinde Deman is a tuba player and sound sculptor. Cinematic and sombre, Deman's output is moving and unique, thanks in part to the incredible timbres of her instrument of choice: she uses a sixteenth-century instrument called the serpent, a distant, mysterious predecessor of the tuba which was developed in the Renaissance era. Through the use of layering and looping, she constructs an ever-expanding sound of subtle melodic growth and swarming harmonic dissonance.

SANAM

18:15–19:00 at Concordia

SANAM is a Beirut-based sextet that infuses the sounds of traditional Egyptian song and modern Arabic poetry with hypnotic post-punk, kosmische kraut-rock, and vivid psychedelia in a genre-defying blend of jazz, electronic, and improvisational music. Their sophomore album Sametou Sawtan (2025) built upon the energy of their debut, giving sound to the urgency, mysticism, and emotional upheaval of contemporary life in Lebanon and its surrounding region. SANAM's music treads the fertile middle-grounds between folklore and futurism, summoning a unique, earthy sound stretched across time and space.

Jennifer Walton

19:00–19:45 at Koorenhuis

Jennifer Walton is a seasoned composer, producer, DJ, and musician. It was during a 2018 US tour as drummer with Kero Kero Bonito when the ideas for Walton's debut album Daughters began to form – inspired by the strange liminality of touring motel-life, the scenes of wealth disparity she saw, and, most of all, by the life-altering news that her father had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. As such, a transitory sense of evolving grief is a throughline in the record, but Walton's music is not necessarily morbid. Taking the guitar as her instrument of choice, she playfully and artfully disintegrates it into a blurry, woozy, maximal collage of digital sounds. Her wistful and emotive form of hyper pop is a kinetic puzzle of jovial maximalism that's warmly distorted and crunchy with compression.

Walton also appears as part of the conversation and listening session Fragile Minutes with james K and Malibu, moderated by Federica Notari, early today at 13:00–14:00 at Page Not Found

Supersilent & Lawrence Abu Hamdan

19:50–20:50 at Amare – Concertzaal

Avant-garde improvisers Supersilent – Arve Henriksen, Helge Sten, and Ståle Storløkken – and visual artist Lawrence Abu Hamdan – a sonic researcher, visual artist, director, and founder of Earshot – present a new commission by Rewire and INDEX Biennial, presented by Rewire and Hartwig Art Foundation. Following Abu Hamdan’s work on the cultural context of sound and listening, this collaboration reflects on Earshot's work in Palestine, focusing particularly on their research into the targeting of journalists and livestreams by Israeli forces. This world premiere performance reflects on the resilience of images and the noise of erasure.

AWICHAS

21:15–22:15 at Koorenhuis

AWICHAS, the new project from Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti, draws from Andean microtonal ritual music to envision a giddy sound assembled from electronics, percussion, and voice. Stemming from a trip to Bolivia where she engaged in different rituals and teachings, Guardia Ferragutti took recordings and data from this journey and worked with sound artist Jochem van Tol to translate them into electronic music – using the Buchla 100 and 200 synthesiser to form the skeleton of the project. This skeleton is given flesh through an all-star ensemble of artists – including Frank Rosaly, Jacob Maskell-Key (of Nihiloxica), Lida Brouskari, Julia Werner, and van Tol – who composed the vibrant, jazz-inflected, drum-filled, and noisy devotional music one can expect at this performance later this evening.
