Deep Listening Night

That breath is not merely air, but can be a source of resonance and emotion in music, is clearly evident in this Deep Listening Night. Every nuance in the tension and strength of the airflow influences pitch, duration and volume, and also shapes the expression and narrative power. For the South Korean daegum player Hyelim Kim, a stable and controlled breath is indispensable for a soft, velvety sound. Ward Ginneberge lets his accordion sigh in an audiovisual work that centres on breathing. Sound artist Michele Spanghero treads the line between technology and mortality in his organ installation for pulmonary ventilators. Bertel Schollaert and the musicians of Tempvs Fvgit and Oltremontano Antwerpen rely on their own lungs. One thing is certain: after today, you will see breathing as so much more than simply the necessary intake of air.

Whisper-soft and piercingly powerful. The Korean daegum resonates strongly with the breath of the player: slight changes in air pressure directly influence the pitch and timbre. Hyelim Kim masters this ancient instrument like no other and takes us on a journey through ancient sounds and new works.

Let yourself be enveloped by the majestic sound of the alta capella: Renaissance wind instruments that brought chansons, madrigals and dances to life in the open air. Music from Italian collections, but with roots in ‘our’ culture, created by the ‘Oltremontani’ – meaning ‘from over the mountains’.
