Comprising delicate olfactory and gustatory stimuli as well as microsounds; a synesthetic tea ceremony will be conducted. Each exquisite tea will be paired with a specific microsonic performance.
Your ears and tastebuds will be thoroughly polished. Ancient musical instruments will be brewed together with magnetic tape sonorities and age-old practices will intertwine with contemporary aesthetic contemplations. For this edition of Obviously Unthinkable, iii workspace member Koenraad De Groot, a microsound enthusiast, composer and instrument inventor, has been invited as a guest curator and tea guide.
Tjerk Stoop has A multidisciplinary background in environmental technology, sonology , visual- and site specific installation art. During the last decade his focus shifted from art to music. Besides music and art, his childhood love for sounds made him a compulsive hoarder of his own field recordings. He produced work under the monikers of Bitlek, Polar Low, Kraftrad and Cochlea and leaves his musical signature as a bandmember within Monomyth.
Cengiz Arslanpay
Cengiz Arslanpay is a multi-instrumentalist and composer whose work is characterised by smooth transitions between contemporary and authentic musical realms. His main instruments are the Nay and modular synthesizers, although he is also familiar with practicing all kinds of Middle Eastern instruments. This makes him a musical bridge between authentic and contemporary music.
Evelina Domnitch and Dmitry Gelfand
Having dismissed the use of recording and fixative media, Domnitch and Gelfand’s installations exist as ever-transforming phenomena offered for observation. Because these rarely seen phenomena take place directly in front of the observer without being intermediated, they often serve to vastly extend the observer’s sensory envelope.
