|
Overtoon was invited to contribute to Helicotrema's web playlists, a series of specifically commissioned playlists for the Helicotrema website, curated by a selection of institutions dedicated to sound research, as well as an online selection from the Helicotrema open calls. You can find, listen and share our contribution through the Helicotrema website as of today. Launched in 2012, Helicotrema is a non-profit festival that presents a program of recorded audio pieces, with the aim of investigating the possibilities of an environment and a form of collective listening, as happened in the first decades of radio broadcasting. We are happy to share that David Helbich recently set foot in one of our two artist studio's and will be spending a few weeks with us as part of a research residency. David Helbich will perform during Silent Room, a four-day event at KANAL – Centre Pompidou and will be using his time with us to prepare. My research question is: how can I address the experience of room sounds, of spacial acoustics in a performative situations, whilst creating an interactive, yet intro-active state of listening. Results of this process will also be part of a concert at the Oude Kerk in Amsterdam on the 6th of November. Echo Ovations: Human Delays From Inner Space, group show Free admission with exhibition ticket, no reservation needed. Public will remain seated during the duration of the performance according to safety measures as per governmental decision. Animated matter is a collaboration of Q-O2 and Overtoon. During the day Overtoon will have Open studios with presented works[-in-progress] and talks by such artists as Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle, Christoph De Boeck, David Helbich and Aernoudt Jacobs. The evening will continue with the concert in Q-O2, where Maria Komarova will present 555 bugs , her sound performance with diy electronics and found objects, which was developed in Overtoon workspace, and Clarice Calvo-Pinsolle (aka Lamina) will create an immersive soundscape by use of electromagnetic and field recordings. Animated Matter, special event >>> Open studios at Overtoon are between 16:00 and 18:00. Visitors will need to reserve via here. In the sound installation Collection of Doubts, Katinka de Jonge brings together sounds, words, and sentences taken from the many encounters and conversations she had while residing in Lugar a Dudas, Colombia. A polyphony of voices and rhythms will resound from speakers handcrafted from gourds, a popular instrument in Pacific music, challenging us to consider how meaning changes along with the given context. Katinka de Jonge was born in 1989 in Amsterdam and lives and works in Ghent. Katinka de Jonge's work will be presented in AAIR and was produced in partnership with Werktank, Leuven, and Overtoon, Brussels. Collection of Doubts, solo show ONGOING GERT AERTSEN & VOID AT SOCIETE D'ELECTRICITE The term “transcoding” originates from the field of computers and more precisely from the conversion of one digital format to another. However, this terminology appears more and more in the cultural context as a new paradigm beyond common media theories. It addresses the issue of correspondence of signs which one medium operates within another. The exhibition explores the trans-lation/coding of signs in between different forms of expression as a possible reading of actual artistic production. Featuring former Overtoon resident Gert Aertsen & current resident VOID. TRANSCODING, group show
