Sound Rebellion at Oude Kerk (Orgelpark Symposium 2024)

As a site-specific improvised sound event, Sound Rebellion’s concert is  intrinsically linked to the architecture and acoustics of Oude Kerk,  exploring the full range of sonic possibilities that this majestic space  has to offer. The music for this June 8 program will draw further  inspiration from the exhibit, A veil as a glaze, of  glass works by artist Ana Navas, reflecting the colours and  transparency through the shimmering sounds of the Oude Kerk’s historic  pipe organs and the electronics. Another link with her work is our  approach to the organ as a musical object that undergoes several  influences over time, depending on its users, depending on hierarchies,  and the contexts in that organ music might reappear today, reflecting  techniques and inspirations from the past.
