Deep Listening Night

In the 1960s and 70s composers such as Xenakis, Babbitt and Stockhausen were delighted by the unprecedented potential of modular synthesizers. Instruments from manufacturers such as EMS, Buchla, Moog and Serge changed the way classical music was composed and performed. Artists suddenly had the freedom to produce sounds that had never been heard before. During this Deep Listening Night, new work for the iconic EMS Synthi 100 will be set alongside synth legend Suzanne Ciani. Ukrainian Heinali draws inspiration from (Flemish) polyphony. And Cinna Peyghamy combines the tombak (Persian drum) with the modular synthesizer in a search for unparalleled sonic and melodic sound worlds. Workshops, an exhibition with module manufacturers and a lecture on the EMS Synthi complete the immersion.
