Our previous post on the pop-up space Duo Volcano wasn’t our last! With cans and rollerskates, melancholy and ambience, accordions and ice cream shops - there's so much to be seen and heard. We’ll catch you there!

​​During Murf/Murw, Marloes Molenaar presents a live print installation in which she creates prints together with visitors. Visitors can attach various objects, such as cans, roller skates, wooden sandals, and a scooter, underneath their shoes and move across a canvas. Through the pressure of these objects, ink is transferred onto the canvas, resulting in a continuously growing collection of unique prints.

Sounds like a distant cousin of a JonatanLeandoer94 project—and the neighbor of that one, too. Hypnotic, fried semi-ambient music with melancholic, existential lyrics. By turns dreamy and compelling, then dystopian and alienating, all built on a foundation of choppy beats and a tight bassline.

Hellvete draws influences from early Minimalism and old folk music and with the use of harmonium and shruti box he creates probing intense sounds that try to undo notions of time and place. Hellvete’s music is like taking an endless shower of sunbeams, warm, comforting and mind-altering. Music that makes time stand still and focuses on shifting details and textures, but massive in sound and presence.

Our greatest friend 'Bob Nichols' is coming back to the festival once again. This time his name is Bob. His previous name could be Carla, or Rick, or Ken. It is in the past, Bob will blow your mind now.

Using more than 500 original woodcuts, he tells frame by frame the story of a performance artist who becomes mayor and, following the introduction of a controversial law, sparks a war between ice cream shops.

During the festival, the pop-up space Duo Volcano is transformed into an experimental exhibition and meeting space in Tilburg. There will be a range of artwork, performances and an interactive installation(!) on show, and they will transport you to the world of paper mache dungeons, and portals leading into the unknown.

Stijn ter Braak primarily exhibits large-scale installations and sculptures. Using discarded materials, he reconstructs both his own and public living spaces at full scale, including his bathroom, parts of his studio, and even an entire street in Antwerp. In each of these works, he plays with perspective and trompe-l’œil effects, allowing the viewer to experience often mundane reality through a renewed lens.
A recurring element in Ter Braak’s work is that the building blocks he uses, various kinds of collected junk, always remain visible in one way or another. This not only blurs the boundary between art and everyday materials, but also invites reflection on the value we attach to the objects and materials with which we shape our surroundings.

Marieke Druiven is an illustrator and animator from the Netherlands. Her work has a strong handmade feel, whether it is an illustration, miniature, screen print, or installation. Her style is characterized by raw yet detailed forms and materials such as cardboard, paper maché and other thick materials. The themes in her work often revolve around human interaction, family, friends, the bizarre, but also the everyday.

Segadeath creates more than just a sound, it creates a space. A glitch-ridden cathedral, a neon-lit dungeon, a haunted arcade where synths wail like ghosts and melodies echo like memories. They pull from a mix of influences, from ancient ambient textures to the warped intensity of underground electro from the 80’s, all filtered through a strong anti-fascist and anti-cop lens and a deep love for storytelling through sound.

We are extremely proud to present this one-off formation at Murf/Murw. Drummer and composer Frank Rosaly, whom you may remember as the drummer of Mother Tongue, brings together an exceptional quartet with woodwind player Rob Frye (Bitchin Bajas, Flux Bikes), guitarist Jeff Parker (Tortoise, Brian Blade) and multi-instrumentalist Ibelisse Guardia Ferragutti (MESTIZX, Awichas). Together, they present a performance rooted in rhythm, repetition, improvisation and collective intent. After a residency at the Bimhuis, this will be the only performance outside the Bimhuis in which they appear in this formation.

During the Murf/Murw Festival we invite you to go on a wellness journey with us, brought to you by Nullshima Studio. You’ll be able to experience the installation at Het Nieuwe Vorst from the 2nd-4th of October. Don’t forget to bring your golden suit and an eager attitude!

𝔘𝔫𝔣𝔬𝔩𝔡𝔦𝔫𝔤
Set in the year 2070, the audience observes a session titled ‘Guided By Nature’ where a futuristic figure is instructed to undertake a variety of bodily positions and thought exercises at the instruction of an off-screen narrator. Drawing upon the typical tropes of the 21st Century wellness industry, the session initially appears to be a harmonious and reassuring experience. Gradually, however, the session begins contradicting such expectations as it takes on an uncomfortable tone and thematic focus. Slowly the off-screen narrator is revealed to be a personification of air itself. Frustrated by playing the role of comforting guide, the narrator breaks from script and highlights humanity’s perilous yet essential relationship with the natural world.

Based in The Netherlands, Nullshima Studio is a creative production studio led by interdisciplinary artists Anne Fehres and Luke Conroy. Anne (The Netherlands) and
Luke (Australia) are an interdisciplinary artist duo that critically engages with complex socio-cultural themes, exploring cultural heritage, identity, climate change, artificial intelligence, digital culture, and decolonization.

We're excited to welcome back Boogaert and Van der Schoot to the Murf/Murw Festival!! In 2023, they joined us at our festival with Underworlds, and we can’t wait for our universes to cross paths again. This time, they’re bringing a rave so wildly out of control that you get to decide when it starts and when it ends.

HOLOBIONT is a subversive playground: part collective ritual, part anarchic dance floor. A gathering of performers, cl**ty wigs, smeared makeup and glitter that will mysteriously reappear in unexpected places. Here, bodies, labels and expectations collapse. In the chaos, something new emerges: a temporary community where bodies, genders and identities are free.

An immersive landscape of q***r performers claiming fluidity. Bodies transform in real time: tucked live in the open, breasts bound and reshaped, waists cinched tight, faces wiped off and rebuilt again. Performance, video, text, music, dance and drag melt into one continuous field of transformation. An invitation to meet the unknown in yourself and others. And dance together.

Amos Peled is an installation and performance artist exploring the relationship between the human body and the medical technology. The solo exhibition brings together three of Peled’s recent works that deal with the hospital environment from different stages of the clinical experience. Drawing on Peled's personal experiences in hospitals, the works move from operating theater to the interior body to machines left breathing alone.

Margo Sanda weaves experimental art pop, free improvisation, and deep electronic sounds into a sonic tapestry that moves between structure and wild, poetic chaos. Alternating between Italian and English, she combines spoken word with melody, creating intimate and unpredictable soundscapes that blur the boundaries between vulnerability and strength.

Jacco Weener is a Rotterdam-based musician and visual artist. He is the lead singer of the social housing doom band “Buurtbeheer” and the religious no wave collective “Cantos Deus." For this solo show he brings a combination of new age and religious music, folk music, and '50s crooning. He also plays the concertina, a 19th-century musical instrument that sounds like a small accordion.

We’re excited to announce the line-up of performances that will be taking place with our friends at Schouwburg Studio! From the dark to danceable, from hypnotic to hyper, you’ll be moving and you’ll be moved by the performances in store!

The Finnish trio Muovipussi, literally meaning “plastic bag”, darts effortlessly between wildly different genres.Virtuosic musicianship and rapid-fire rap are interwoven with grunts and an almost theatrical approach to performance, leaving the audience constantly wondering what exactly they are witnessing.

Dry, stripped-down, minimalist and hard. She weaves together influences from minimal wave, synth punk, electro and EBM into a captivating live experience where pulsing rhythms, melancholic melodies and aggressive dancefloor energy collide.

A Swedish transcendental gabber act creating a hybrid of punkrap vocals with lush hyperpop, thundering gabber kicks, footwork and breakcore. Part rave, part exorcism, his explosive stage presence in fast swimming goggles accompanied by two microphones and live camera visuals immerse audiences into new forms of catharsis, exploring the dancefloor as a revolutionary weapon.

While Utrecht-based artist Curling often takes the stage as a vocalist in various metal, punk, and noise rock bands, most notably Throwing Bricks, he adopts a completely different approach in his DJ sets. His experimental mix of bass, electro, industrial and a dash of EBM recalls the well-known club scene in the first Matrix-film: dark, with an apocalyptic tinge, yet highly danceable.

Check out the program of our friends at De Link for more boundary-breaking performances!

Stephanie Pan is a voice artist, composer, interdisciplinary maker, and performer based in The Hague. At the root of her work is the notion of pure communication; finding a form of contact with the audience which is stripped of social expectations and distractions, that speaks beyond the conventional and social limitations and constructs of language. A mutating combination of theater/performance art/ experimental music/improvisation/controlled chaos/pop music/classical music, her work is visceral, passionate and intense, and often explores the limits of the body and voice.

Dirge Seçil Kuran is a classical and contemporary percussionist from Istanbul, Turkey, now based in the Netherlands. As Dyrghé, she combines her eclectic inspirations with her rigorous background, colouring her sound with her own vocals. She channels a dark attitude and doesn’t hesitate to pour harsh observations into her lyrics, From love to nihilistic sociological facts, she brings the issues in her unique style—like a melancholic end music. During
live performances, Dyrghé embraces her multi-instrumentalism; playing in a ring of instruments, and like any percussionist, she challenges herself with every instrument she can touch, while delivering a mesmerising show.

Suzan Peeters is a Brussels-based accordionist, composer and improviser. She is constantly searching for new timbres and sound textures within the accordion, pushing its acoustic spectrum to its limits by manipulating the interplay between her body and the body of her instrument. She transforms the acc
