DNK Amsterdam Experimental Music Festival Weekend — Day 2
DNK Amsterdam invites you to a participatory performance on Beursplein. The Social Music Club plays To Cast A Net… by Koen Nutters: a group piece for sine tones in the public space.
To Cast A Net… is a piece that asks performers to gather and create an electronic net, cast over the auditory reality of everyday life, by simply playing one electronic tone of a particular height on each on their phones, and thereby augmenting and highlighting the public space we are occupying.
The tones will create subtle beatings with each other and with sounds in the environment while performers slowly switch places, and form a moment and place for intensified listening to the world while abiding in the open city for a performative pause, a moment to reflect on the use and function of public space, society as a whole, and our place in it, as people, artists, and sounding entities.
Please sign up in advance if you want to participate. Please send an email to koennutters@gmail.com

The Social Music Club is a loose collective of musicians and non-musicians who regularly come together to listen, make sound, talk about interaction, and try different types of text scores and exercises from the book Search & Reflect: A Music Workshop Handbook, compiled by students of the late percussionist, improviser, and teacher John Stevens.
