DiriJent - Interactieve Installatie
Your chance to drive the sound with your own gestures
Throughout all the years that I have been performing with my gesture driven electronic instrument, there has been one question which is posed to me after every show: "Can I try?" During my time in Minneapolis, I got the opportunity to finally answer this question with a resounding yes! with the creation of the sound installation DiriJent, in which the audience is invited to take the control of the sound into their own hands (literally). For this ledenconcert, I will build this installation in the large hall in splendor, and invite the audience to take turns playing the installation, alternating with my own lecture performance, with a q&a woven throughout the evening. Loosen your arms, and come ready to play!
Thomas Myrmel and the daring public
Member concert
Splendor can only be the independent and free hub that it is, thanks to the members who support us. We pay them back with our specialty: music. Every year, all Splendor musicians play one concert that's free for this crucial group to whom Splendor owes its everyday existence. Combined with many other events, this means that our members have free entrance to about 80 concerts a year for €9,99 p/m (and €4,99 p/m for minima and students!) – and receive a discount for all other concerts. Pretty good deal, right?
The members enable Splendor to remain independent, which is the only way to secure real freedom in programming, experimentation, risk-taking and the promotion of young, upcoming artists. If you can think of another place without a central programming, where last-minute concerts can be planned any moment, where there is no backstage and artists and audience are constantly mingling and hanging out at the bar, where mysterious creative outbursts can be presented that are often labeled 'too risky' elsewhere, and that still guarantees high quality by unleashing the best of The Netherlands' music scene in this creative playground – you get a free membership!
