Anne La Berge’s passion for the extremes in both composed and improvised music has led her to the fringes of storytelling and sound art as her sources of musical inspiration. She performs as a multimedia soloist and in projects both live and online and is one of the composer/performers in the Amsterdam based ensemble MAZE.
In 1999, together with Steve Heather and Cor Fuhler, she founded Kraakgeluiden, an improvisation series based in Amsterdam, exploring combinations of acoustic and electronic instruments using real-time interactive performance systems. Many of the resulting musical collaborations have taken on a life beyond the Kraakgeluiden series, which ceased in 2006.
La Berge will perform Third Nature, a performance with storytelling, processed flute, synthesized and sampled audio, sirens, improvisations and other stuff. It includes parts of her compositions from 2005 to ones that are currently works-in-progress.
Gert-Jan Prins (b. 1961 in IJmuiden) focuses on the sonic and musical qualities of electronic noise and percussion, and investigates their relationship with the visual. While he started his career as a drummer, his works now include performances, sound installations, compositions, electronic circuits, and numerous collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, composers, and dancers.
