1 a.
Field recording performance 'De Vergeten Architecten van de Afsluitdijk'
“Tussen zout en zoet strekt zich 32 km dijk uit in wat ooit de zee was. De Afsluitdijk. Een dijk die staat voor controle over water. De Afsluitdijk is niet alleen een staaltje infrastructuur, maar ook een verbeelding van een manier van denken over onze een relatie met de levende wereld.
Maar wat ontdekken wij als we zouden luisteren naar deze plek? Diep luisteren naar de vergeten makers van dit landschap. Luisteren naar planten, dieren, objecten, de waterlichamen en hun sporen, stemmen, ritmes en bewegingen die dijk voortdurend veranderen. Met veldopnames en reflecties geef ik aandacht aan de wezens en makers – met oog voor de ongelijke maar betekenisvolle geschiedenissen die het maken en hermaken van deze plek draagt.”
Het Afsluitdijk geluidsproject van Kristina Mau Hansen wordt ondersteund door de Stroomversneller.
Kristina Mau Hansen is a sound artist and field recordist with a background in cultural geography. Her work attunes to sound and listening practices as ways to explore the relations between people and place. Ranging from questioning how do we belong in a
place through listening to how listening is a path to connect with more-than-human
voices. Her current work includes sound walks, installations, performances, radio works and artistic research. She is from the Danish minority in Germany and based in Arnhem.

1 b. Watergeluidenlaboratorium.
We gaan onderzoeken welke geluiden water kan maken.
Met name onderzoeken welke verschillen er zijn in klank tussen het zoete water van het IJsselmeer en het zoute water van de Waddenzee.
2. UNDERCURRENT
“We are Sibylle and Johannes Eimermacher - sister and brother, artist and musician. During a residency at an old copper mine in Finland, we merged our unique backgrounds to create a sound installation using found metal objects. In this workshop, we invite you to explore the installation, the resonances produced by the various metals and shapes of the sound objects. Through a series of exercises, we will work on developing collective improvisations, enhancing group awareness, and exploring different strategies for interaction.”

Biographies
Johannes Eimermacher
“Johannes Eimermacher (*1981 Münster, DE) studied jazz saxophone at the Folkwang Hochschule Essen (Germany). During this time he began collaborating with other disciplines like dance, theater, performance and film. For six years he was regularly working as a musician and performer at the Hessisches Landestheater Marburg. Since 2008 he lives in Brussels where he is involved in a wide variety of projects as a saxophonist, composer and improviser. He is the initiator of the saxophone quintet La Nuée and a trio with bassist Cyrille Obermüller and drummer Samuel Ber.
La Nuée (english: The Flock) is a saxophone quintet inspired by the behaviour of flocks of birds,
the way the individuals interact with one another, guide and follow each other, imitating their manoeuvres to form one single organism. The band is trying to form one single organism that can move as an entity, breathe, change its form, its density, its maneuvers, its direction, its speed. A body that is more complex than the sum of all its elements. It is the relationship between these elements, their reciprocal influences that give life to the individual character of this new body.
The compositions for his trio with Cyrille Obermüller and Samuel Ber are based on the idea that from one single initial motiv the whole structure of a composition can be developed. Each of these compositions is proposing a special character or atmosphere from which a collective improvisation can emerge.
Besides his projects Johannes is constantly exploring and deepening various creative fields like taking classes in opera singing, saxophone, acoustic and electro-acoustic composition, counterpoint and harmony or meditation. The search of inner self-encounter is an essential part of his creativity.”

Sibylle Eimermacher
“Sibylle Eimermacher (*1979 Münster, DE) holds a MFA from the Frank Mohr Institute in Groningen (NL) and a BFA from the AKI Academy of Art & Design in Enschede (NL). Living in the Netherlands, she works in the fields of sculpture, photography, video, performance, sound and artist books.
Rocks, stones, minerals and the metals extracted from the ore are the main point of departure in her work in order to reflect on the ambivalent relationship of man towards nature, by searching for ways on how to overcome the separation that we as humans created with the world around us, and reconnect with it.
How do we find our place in the cosmos, replace our attitude of dominance with humbleness and use our power to contribute to the equilibrium of the planet? Can our urge for creation serve the values of healing, care and tenderness instead of exploitation and damage? We care for what we feel part of.. and what we feel part of, we care for. This statement may play a key role when it comes to moving towards global interconnectedness based on support instead of competition. In the last years, sound has become increasingly important in her practice, as a way of feeling and offering a direct experience and engagement with matter and resonances.”

Collaboration
“Recently we started to collaborate, merging our practices as artist and musician. Our first collaborative works are the video Ellipse and the sound performance Turnstone, both accessible and documented in the portfolio.”
