Oscillation ::: Materia Forma Bulletin ep. 6 …Overheard confessions from the Saint-Jean-Baptiste de Molenbeek church
Honored embodied souls,
We’re still descending from some strange heaven we landed in yesterday after this otherworldly brutalist high mass across from our HQ. Tonight, the sonic celebrations continue again in VK Vaartkapoen. Aaaand – we are delighted to announce the first Oscillation ‘works on paper’ contest (see below)!
Today’s timetable:
18:30 Conversation #1: w/ Shamica Ruddock & Hannan Jones, Valentina Vuksic, Okkyung Lee. Moderated by Natasha Pirard. 20:00 Jacqueline Nova: From heaven, to earth: “Creación de la Tierra was created in 1972 out of vocal material from creation chants of the U’wa ethnic group in Boyacá, Columbia. (…) These indigenous voices are continually transformed, at times past the point of recognisability. With this work, Nova claims the right to coexist as peers and the need to exist without exclusion.” – Ana Maria Romano G. 20:30 Ana María Romano G.: This concert is a ritual that takes the body through intense and fluctuating sonic universes. Each of its presentations offers an opportunity to include new materials, devices, … which emerge between fixed media and improvised treatments. 21:15 Giulia Rae: In an ever-forming and dissolving digital ecosystem, the sound makes the space and the space vibrates. Through multichannel diffusion, the interaction between sound and the architectural space is explored, breaking down the performativity of player and listener. 22:30 Floris Vanhoof: A laser shines through soap bubbles and two diodes listen to the lightwaves that are bend through the ever changing surfaces. Bursting bubbles make dynamic pops and photons diffracted through microscopic movements of liquid soap make glissandi. And, a miniature sitcom to be shown as 16mm film, or as longer expanded cinema performance with modified 16mm projector and live sound. 23:15 Hannan Jones & Shamica Ruddock: Hannan Jones & Shamica Ruddock: Re-Imagining In-Conversation is a research-based sonic venture encompassing speculation, jazz poetics, improvisation and dreaming. The performative exploration of the in-conversation format extends a myriad of identified shared and diverging research interests.
Tonight’s provider of the foyer soundtrack is Q-O2’s favourite uncle Frédéric Van de Velde.

Seven deadly confessions overheard between last night’s sets:
Envy: Watching Liew Niyomkarn perform I unfollowed her on Instagram, so beset was I with envy of her slide guitar skills Gluttony: With no beers at the counter I gluttoneously indulged in seven appleschorles Wrath: I’m still furious that I stepped out before Okkyung Lee’s encore and missed the whole thing Greed: Even after ten layers of subtle overtones in Margarida Garcia’s set, my appetites were not sacieted and I still longed for more Sloth: The heated floor of the church was so comfortable that I could scarcely raise my body back up after the final show Lust: I must confess, I hovered around the Underbelly book table during every interval and left my date alone to pack up the chairs after the concert Pride: My pride was such that I couldn’t admit (even to myself) that I was the one who kicked an empty bottle during Enrico Malatesta’s set
