A thrilling programme at the Stedelijk Museum, with mulitsensory fireworks and performances that explore the subtleties and edges of sound and the noise of being. Supreme Connections (Amy Cimini, Bill Dietz, Kabir Carter, Keiko Prince, Sergei Tcherepnin, Stefan Tcherepnin and Woody Sullender) stages two out of four episodes of Maryanne Amacher's genre-defying Mini Sound Series. Jennifer Walshe plays solo and performs her recent composition Everything is Important for voice, string quartet and film with the world famous Arditti Quartet. Dutch artists Gijs Gieskes, Geert-Jan Hobijn and Radboud Mens present their new formation Ohm, with fresh selfbuilt electroacoustic and electromechanical instruments. The world's first microtonal tuba ensemble Microtub digs deeper into the sphere of just intonation, and Cilantro presents a post-noise world full of enigmas.
You can also visit the Stedelijk Museum on Saturday and Sunday for the Mini Sound Series performances.
