Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes is an audio-visual trio originating in Den Haag, consisting of two electric guitars and live visuals. The improvising guitar duo of Gonçalo Oliveira and James A.-McEwan explores a slow-moving instrumental landscape of drones and post-rock ambience, featuring elements of guitar experimentalism, noise music and post minimalism. Their sonic world interacts with and responds to the performative visuals of designer and visual artist Felix Bodin. Using his self-designed visual instrument, consisting of projections reverberated through the performance space with the use of a malleable mirrored surface, Bodin’s setup spreads, distorts or focuses digitally generated patterns into unique and dazzling light and projections. Sometimes delicate and serene, other times erratic and unpredictable.

tzZiiiY is a performance by performer/dancer Maria Mavridou and guitar player Arvind Ganga that goes beyond movement and sound, feeding on uncertainty in pursuit of intensity. Both are committed to an uncompromising, moment-to-moment search for intensity – a ‘tzZiiiY’ – that is felt and that resonates. Engaging intuitively with the atmosphere of the gathered audience and the room, they hand each other full permission and push themselves to the edge in a desire to overcome their limits. With often radically different attitudes and ways, the two reveal the wilderness, awkwardness, devastation, fragility and humor of their co-existence. Meanwhile, they both surrender to chance which brings together sounds and movements into ephemeral pieces of art.

Dan Gibson is a Hague-based cellist, instrument designer and electronic musician, who often releases his music under the name ‘noisesinthenight’. Live, he uses a modified cello of his own design, adapting and augmenting the design of traditional cello with knobs and controls to manipulate live electronics designed by himself. This setup narrows the gap between the acoustic and electronic soundworlds, allowing the creation of rich aural textures, lush ambient soundscapes, and also moments of distorted and drony post-rock elements.
