Sound mediations (rugs) & Music in Pieces (2024)

David Helbich

Imagine There Was No Roof (2024)

hand-tufted carpet for sound meditations, new version commissioned by Concertgebouw Brugge

Artist and composer David Helbich challenges you with his works to unique listening experiences that sometimes do not even involve a single decibel. Through his series of rugs with listening instructions, he evokes so-called 'intro-active' sound meditations. You stand (literally and/or figuratively) still, listening to the sounds you 'hear in your head' or directly on your eardrums.

Music in Pieces (2024)

noise composition to perform yourself, new version commissioned by Concertgebouw Brugge

With his series Music in Pieces, David Helbich not only blurs the distinction between performer and listener, but also between score and instrument.
