ZWERM @ OORtreders - Museum of the Moon

Vrijdag 21 oktober 2016

19u00

Kerk Neerpelt

Op vrijdag 21 oktober strijkt de maan neer in Neerpelt. Museum of the Moon is een gigantische lichtgevende maan van de Britse kunstenaar Luke Jerram. Het kunstwerk zal door de straten van Neerpelt zweven, van de kerk tot aan Provinciaal Domein Dommelhof, terwijl de epische soundtrack van componist Dan Jones weerklinkt. Als afsluiter brengt het elektrisch gitaarkwartet ZWERM een performance op het dak van Dommelhof. Ze laten zich hiervoor inspireren door Pink Floyds meesterwerk The Dark Side of the Moon. Een magische optocht voor jong en oud!

Sergey Khismatov, Alexander Khubeev, Alex Nadzharov and Marina Poleukhina are inspired by the lifework of Lesaserma Pokhunakhis (1926-1991), and together create a remarkable, unsettling and fascinating performance about the work of a forgotten woman who knew Xenakis, created an Siberian Arte Povera style and influenced Abramovic. Read more about her life at: pokhunakhis.

Special thanks to video-artist Dmitry Mazurov, Vadim Kejin, Yury Kasparov, Fedor Sofronov and Viatcheslav Kuritsyn.

Aton'&Armide: wooden jubilee

Aton'&Armide has been around for 5 years now: a wooden jubilee asks for our wooden instruments in a superb wooden hall!

What started as a duo focussing on contemporary music soon grew into a collective. After many creations, collaborations and musical theatre we joined forces again as a duo for our first CD-recording (Antarctica/Penguin).
During the last 3 days we've recorded Jean-Luc Fafchamps' 'Trois chants pour mieux voir' for cello and prepared piano, and Daan Janssens' '(...nada)' for cello, piano and electronics in the simply incredible Studio 1 at Flagey, Brussels.
In August we'll be heading for Brive-la-Gaillarde (F) to record Claude Debussy's 'Sonate pour violoncelle' with a gut-stringed cello, on the maestro's very own Blüthner.

"I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it." (C. Debussy)
