DJ-Set
24 September • 18:00 – 19:00 • Westflügel
Lieven Martens alias Dolphins into the Future (°1981, Turnhout) lives and works in Antwerp. He creates conceptual music that floats between field recordings, ambient, musique concrète, and modern composition.
»Field recordings are often more about listening than recording, and nobody listens like Lieven Martens. As Dolphins Into The Future, he blended new age, early synthesizer music and tropical field recordings making one-of-a-kind soundscapes during the noise boom of the mid-2000s. Now, under his own name, his music is even more poetic.« FACT

Thunder. Timpani. A conversation. A fight. A truck passing by. The streaming river. Construction works. Singing saw. The sound of late spring is the call of the swallows.
Today’s and tomorrow's soundscapes deserves to be listened to, taken serious, and discussed. Not merely dismissed. Maybe we find “silence” after all? Or in this “silence” we find more loudness. If you notate every sound of the environment, are you also pencilling down your own heartbeat and breathing? What if you listen so close to one another that your breathing and heartbeats are louder than anything else?
This is - or better: ‘could be’ an interactive listening session. Bring your mind and maybe your favorite sound (a poem, a lighter, a book, tin foil, a CD, a rain coat, a rubber ball, an instrument, cell phone recordings of your commute and together we create an organic symphony, captured on the spot. Just by listening we are all part of a creative and organic research. We don’t have to do anything! So do you dare to not use your sound?
No this is not a jam session. But an experiment where we look for new meaning outside music theory and field recordings. We leave the study (studied) room and go find joy in each other and in the surroundings. Or we find sadness. Or both. We can talk about it too.
PS: for those sensitive to sound, we can provide noise cancelling headphones!
