Danya Pilchen is a composer based in The Hague. His main interest lies in the human experience of time and music’s ability to shed light on it. He has composed for a wide range of settings, including solo, ensemble, and orchestra, as well as theatre productions. A significant part of his practice involves creating immersive sound installations that incorporate instrumental performances.
Danya’s music is closely intertwined with his research into collective experiences of time in musical practices. Understanding time as an emerging property of consciousness affected by social interactions necessitates increased attention to the relationships between musicians and audiences in Danya’s pieces. To facilitate these interactions, he employs various compositional strategies and listening techniques engaging the materiality of sound.
Rubén Patiño is an artist who explores sound generated by electronic means and its potential to transform the perception of space. His practice often challenges standardized formats of presentation, blending the boundaries between concert, public event, and installation. Solo or in collaboration, Patiño’s works have been presented in museums, clubs, festivals, and galleries across Europe, America, Asia, Africa, Russia, and Australia. He has published on labels such as Anòmia, Haunter Records, Diagonal Records, The Trilogy Tapes, Where To Now?, The Death of Rave, and Gang of Ducks.
