When someone describes an experience as ‘intense’, he or she often says they were ‘right in the middle of it’, ‘completely engrossed’. When we go to a concert, don’t we all want to be swept away by such an intensely-immersive, even physical experience? At the SURROUND Festival that dream becomes reality. The listener is surrounded by sound and becomes part of the musical interaction.
SURROUND! is a completely unique experience: on the lips of sound, in the wake of vibration, in short, in music. Once you are there, you’ll never want to leave.
Experience SURROUND! in depth, thanks to the soundinstallations program in collaboration with Overtoon.
Erik Nerinckx presents the Overtoon production 'Koeren' at Muntpunt. 'Koeren' is an installation with everything you can find in a dovecote. In and around dovecot furniture many small speakers are placed playing the sound of pigeons. Nerinckx didn't make a simple two track registration and presentation, but a multi-channel spatialization. It sounds like if you are in a dovecote and the pigeons are all around you. An immersive installation.
This exhibition offers to discover Overtoon through the works of Belgian artists Aernoudt Jacobs and Jeroen Uyttendaele.
Visceral and compelling for Vonkveld 3 ( Sparks fields), aerial and subtle for Induction Series # 4 based on electromagnetism, this two sound and sculptural installations tcombine technology and ingenuity and have in common to use electricity as an artistic medium
