A new collaboration between FIBER and Oude Kerk brings a concert with electronic music and organ. On December 3rd, Swedish composer Maria W Horn will perform with Mats Erlandsson in ‘Silence’, a program series at Oude Kerk. Silence is a concert series of Oude Kerk. Every first Friday of the month, at 8 a.m. as the sun rises, musicians fill the church space with sound as the city awakens.
The music series focuses on music in which acoustic, digital and electronic sounds merge, in the context of the ancient monument. The world and the way we categorize it changes, mutates, continuously. How do we ‘graft’ an existing reality to develop a new reality, towards a new acoustic ecology?
Maria W Horn is interested in the manipulation of time and space using the extremes of sound. She plays with human perception in her concerts. How do psychoacoustic phenomena manifest themselves? How do they make us transcend everyday reality into an alternative mental state?
In this concert, the sound of a monumental classical organ mutates into a physical and tactile reality, into a hybrid world of live acoustic organ and digital electronic sound.
