In an age of constant distraction, the act of Deep Listening can be perceived as a radical one. It means taking a step back, slowing down, pausing and, above all, actively listening. Evidence in Motion – Tune in is an evening that takes and pays tribute to avant-garde composer and theorist Pauline Oliveros and her landmark research on Deep Listening.

During Evidence in Motion – Tune in, we will celebrate the legacy of Pauline Oliveros and explore its influence on contemporary makers. Through the eyes of Kunrad, Gemma Luz Bosch and Thijs Jaeger, we dive into a space of contemplation and open ourselves up to a listening experience that pays absolute attention to this: reading the world around us almost like a musical score.

Gemma Luz Bosch is a pianist, composer and improviser. In her performances she creates live soundscapes using her self-made ceramic instruments, musical objects and prepared piano pieces. She invites the audience to consider the relationship between sound and music by investigating and using sounds that aren’t normally used in music creation.

Baden is a minimalist, personal and intimate concert that prompts you to slow down, be still and experience your own body. During the concert you can listen to a composition of whispering flutes, driving rhythms and fragile voices. The surfaces sings as your body gently descends. Here, the audience is invited on the artwork. Developed by Annabel Schouten and Gemma Luz Bosch.

Sound is the most important element in Kunrad’s work, which consists of installations, compositions and performances. Curiosity forms the starting point for Kunrad’s compositions. Through the exploration of these curiosities he forms the parameters of his composition. Kunrad has written compositions for choir, organ, harmonium, and spatial speaker installations. At present Kunrad is exploring paper, dripping, stripes and waves.

Streep I is the first PAW (Physical Audio Workstation). It features paper as object, water as actuator, and dripping as method. The appliance of water on paper is chosen to emphasize the transiency native to the physical realm. Gradualy the water moves along the paper, while the performance progresses the meter wide rainshower slowly dies out. The water now consists of individual drips that fall rhythmically on the paper.

Thijs Jaeger’s work originates from narrative stories told through sculptural installations. Stories of mythology (digital)folklore and videogames are deconstructed and translated, while simultaneously reflecting on our current society. The stories become a universal instrument where fact and fiction intertwine. Merging absurdity, truths, and the simulation of reality into a new reality of their own.

Birth-Elements-One-World is a sonic ritual comprised of an installation of hand-casted Indonesian temple bells inspired by their notion within Hindu and Buddhist temples that allow them to summon “ghosts.” In an effort to understand his roots between the Netherlands and Indonesia, Jaeger recontextualizes them in a sonic installation and creates a narrative surrounding the mythological character of the Trickster. Birth-Elements-One-World is a collaboration with Jesus Canuto Iglesias, who assisted with coding and technical support.
