Colors as Sounds with Clément Davout
This workshop bridges the disciplines of painting & music, whereby participants create postcards inspired by three tracks selected from the Objects & Sounds catalog. Rather than traditional paints, the material of choice will be flowers and plants, a means of getting away from any known gestures. This applies a tactile approach, which is not meant to be representative, but rather a sensitive evocation of perceived sounds. Each postcard will be the reflection of a soundscape, expressing our varied colored sensations.
FRIDAY APRIL 08
20:00 – 23:00
The Encounter Group
The Encounter Group is Nathan Castelain, Tobin Verdonck, and Brecht van Dingenen, all Ghent-based members with a shared fascination for odd music, old movies, and YouTube rabbit holes. On April 8th, we are excited to present their debut performance, The Subtle Art of Conversation. Join us for an audio-visual conversation that explores synth sounds merged with movie samples. Doors open at 19:00 and the concert will start once it’s dark.
