Post-Paradise is an experimental music concert series founded in 2016 by a collective of composers [Zach Dawson, Richard Stenton and iii member Maya Verlaak]. In 2020 Post-Paradise established a partnership with iii. As result of this partnership, each semester Maya Verlaak will curate one edition of Post Paradise at the iii workspace in The Hague.

James McIlwrath 
James is an Irish composer/performer who makes things and does things, based in Birmingham U.K. He primarily works with theatrical and musical improvisation to make multimedia performances. He curates AMOK a monthly experimental music series in Birmingham and is undertaking a M4C funded PhD in collaboration with Stan’s Cafe, researching alternative ways of utilising a composer-in residence within a theatre company.

He will be performing a new work, a jumbled meditation on the word position and how we relate to our positions.

Leonie Roessler
Composer, performer and radio-maker raised in Germany and the US, now based in The Hague, Netherlands.  Leonie captures her environment through field recordings, which she uses for electronic live sets, sound installations, and compositions for soloists and ensembles. She had recent residencies at New Media Society and Limited Access Festival (Iran), Forum Wallis (Switzerland), and The Story of Space Festival (India), and Berlin Circus Biennale (Germany), and Altes Finanzamt (Germany), and at LOOS (Netherlands). Her works have been released through Musica Dispersa (Spain/UK), and Noise á Noise (Iran,) Biodiversità Records, and Syrphe Label, and have been physically archived in the British Library.

Leonie will be performing a live set based on a field recording of the warning siren that is tested in The Hague every first Monday of the month at noon. She will accompany the siren sounds with an original National slide guitar from the 1950s.

Maya Felixbrot
musician, Violist, a multi-stylistic composer and improviser. Her manifold practice is research driven, articulating a meta-language that combines sound and movement and weaves the two into a coherent fabric- with an application as an artistic practice and political thought.

In Post-Paradise Maya will premiere an experiment; the 3 parts of Traveling Viola will come together in space and time, with Tatiana Rosa as video artist and Maya playing the viola and moving. Traveling Viola is a solo series, a work-in-progress since 2018, examining patterns of life that exist in nature, sound, the human body and as mental processes. It features 3 parts so far: Crumbling – about death, or ending, Float – traveling to a new, unknown reality, and Vibration – becoming intimate with another. 

Post-Paradise is a concert series curated by Maya Verlaak. This 25th edition is presented by iii with financial support from Creative Industries Fund NL and The Municipality of The Hague.
