doors: 20:00 / start: 20:30 / end: 23:00 / entrance: €10,- (pin or cash)

The 100th and last Vrooom is organised by Lukas Simonis.

By now, most of you probably heard something about it, but here's why Vrooom is calling it quits after edition #100. Earlier this year, the City of Rotterdam (or more precisely: the Culture Advisory Committee of the Municipality of Rotterdam) decided to withdraw their support for the Vrooom series with regard to the 2024 season.
This effectively means that we would not be able to continue the series in a financially viable manner (in a nutshell: provide decent performance fees for the artists and cover expenses). Vrooom decided not to contest this decision, but rather take this (combined with other considerations) as a cue to conclude things. We've done a hundred events in 13 years (not counting the many supplementary 'specials' and 'Readymades' organised by Lukas, or the collabs with Koffie & Ambacht, etc.). It has run its course, it's been good, het is wel goed zo.
We hope you've enjoyed it... thank you all!
- Lukas & Sascha

┆ ALL US DADA ┆
All Us Dada is a new collaboration between Gerri Jäger and actor Gerindo Kartadinata.
This project is a kaleidoscope of text and sound that questions how to relate to a system that has established the biggest division between the rich and poor (the wealthy and the poor) ever, the system that is ruining our planet and that deprives us more and more from the ability of self-determination.

┆ SHALL WE? ┆
Shall We? is a trio that exists in multiple simultaneous sonic temporalities. Their sound is a mystical deja-vu of a traverso (a baroque flute) played by Dorota Matejová, algorithmic coding texturality by eerie_ear aka Sebastián Pappalardo, and Tisa N. Herlec's voice; a voice that escapes time while tracing narratives. Their phantasmagoric sonic world embraces the listeners strongly while gazing straight into their depths.

┆ JACCO WEENER ┆
Jacco Weener is a performance/visual/sound artist from Rotterdam. Besides his solo performances (which are about the intersection of pop culture and religion/spirituallity mostly) he also sings in the bands Cantos Deus (a religious no wave band) and Buurtbeheer (a social housing punk band). With both band and solo projects, he has released multiple records on CD, Vinyl and Cassette.

┆ LIEUWE ZELLE ┆
Zelle is a descendant of a famous Frisian family that produced a.o. Mata Hari and reverend Johannes Hendrikus Zelle.
Zelle himself is also well on his way to becoming immortal. He is one of the editors of the current form of Radio Worm and regularly performs with a repertoire that varies from brutal electronica to scandalous performances to Remonstrant sermons that are heartening. Tonight we invited him to ring out the Vrooom series, combining it with beautiful sound art.

Concepción Huerta is a multidisciplinary artist from Guadalajara, Mexico, who has extended her creative practice from visual media to sound design and music production. She creates captivating sound narratives, incorporating sounds of everyday objects, synthesizers and processed tapes. Her approach to sound reflects on the relationship between silence and noise, political space, and sound as a means of enunciation. Her work encompasses installations, spatialized concerts, speculative narratives, and immersive experiences.

┆ 𝑫𝑰𝑨𝑵𝑨𝑩𝑨𝑵𝑫 ┆
Dianaband is an interdisciplinary artist duo consisting of Wonjung Shin신원정, and Dooho Yi이두호. Based in Seoul, their work is based on weaving everyday objects, landscapes and sections of contemporary society into sound, turning them into portable instruments, creating spaces where objects with sound and movement resonate. In their work, sound is a relational event, a structural device or situational event.

Valentina Vella (IT/US) is an interdisciplinary artist who makes autofictional work about precarity, mental health, love and post-capitalist imaginaries. She explores the way the body, sound and rhythmical patterns modulate, enrich and sometimes contradict language in performance. Whether she sings of the mundane cruelties of neoliberal existence or writes poetry interspersed with Norse mythology, found dialogues, recipe books, and Zen Buddhism, she is always propelled by an urgent desire for another world; conjuring strategies for change like a manic witch; and often admitting defeat. She is currently based in Rotterdam.

Mint Park is a Seoul-born/Amsterdam-based sound and new media artist who works at an intersection of music, technology, science, and art. In recent years, she has been researching the phenomenon of turbulence and making a weather-like ecosystem of fluid dynamics with sound, air, and lights. Her audiovisual practice focuses on the experience of the inter-weaving physical environment and virtual spaces within immersive environments created with sound, light, and spatial apparatuses. With her self-designed audiovisual systems and instruments that are spatial and site-specific, she makes live performances and compositions to question and understand the constantly fluctuating existential qualities in today’s binary space and machine-quantified time. Besides her own projects, Mint has been running Unheard Records, an electronic music label focusing on experimental music and sound practices of femme, queer and P.O.C artists.

┆ MAZE┆
MAZE is a hybrid international collective working on open compositions in the form of video scores, games, text scores, algorhythms, 3-d notation, graphic scores, apps, etc. They abandon the idea of 'authentic performance' along the axis composer-score-performer-listener, instead going for an open approach where these positions are interchangeable. Here, the performers compose, the composers listen to what's already there, listening becomes a creative act and the world around us can be a score.
https://www.maze.nu

Tony Conrad was an artist, violinist, mathematician, filmer, and actor. He was a member of the influential Theatre Of Eternal Music together with John Cale, La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela - a collective that worked on long duration music in just intonation tunings. Incidentally Conrad also stood at the beginning of the Velvet Underground starting with four guitars with all 24 strings tuned to the same pitch. Because of intense disagreements about authorship with La Monte Young the collective split up, after which La Monte -who owned the taperecorder that recorded all their sessions- withheld all recordings from the other members. He would only release them if the others would credit him as the sole composer. As a result Tony Conrad was robbed of a big part of his work and history. However, he took this as an artistic project - as a challenge to question notions of authorship, memory, history, tuning. Conrad freely reimagined and recomposed dates of their sessions, putting the principles at work. He also developed them further in the seminal postrock record 'Slapping Pythagoras' made with e.g. Jim O'Rourke and Kevin Drumm - Pythagoras was the Greek philosopher that discovered the mathematics behind vibrations who thought the secrets of tuning should be kept from the people, rather to be used to control them, favoring only certain intervals as sacred. Conrad playfully opposes this with an anarchic tuning, a radical democracy of pitches.

Robert Ashley was one of the pioneers in experimental music theater and voice oriented music. In the '60s, in a provocative search for a truly American music, Ashley took happenings of colonial ventures simultaneous with the birth of european artforms like sonata, concerto, quartet, and opera - as models for a music where the liberation of time would counteract colonial history.
In the piece 'In Memoriam Esteban Gomez' [quartet] there are boats floating in a self-generated ocean navigating the American Eastcoast. They interpret the ripples in the water to determine their course in the four wind directions pitch, dynamic, density and colour.

┆ TEONIKI ROŻYNEK ┆
Teoniki Rożynek is a composer and violin player who places particular emphasis on electronic sound design. She collects sonic waste material and junk objects that generate sound, with which she creates electronic and electroacoustic music. Working both solo and in collectives, she frequently collaborates with artists from other fields, co-creating films, performances and multimedia installations.

┆ AUSTĖJA ŽVIRBLYTĖ ┆
Austėja Žvirblytė aka Youki Flu is a Rotterdam-based Lithuanian multi-instrumentalist who strings together her musical influences into dreamy hyperpop. She sings in her own made-up language while playing the ukulele bass and electronics. Expect driving beats, vigorous voice improvisations and a playful genre-crossing experience.

Saturday 22 April - Vrooom #95: Coolhaven, Nina Hitz & Jasna Veličković, Hugo Costa & Philipp Ernsting

 

Vrooom #95

┆ COOLHAVEN
┆ NINA HITZ & JASNA VELIČKOVIĆ
┆ HUGO COSTA & PHILIPP ERNSTING

Coolhaven, Rotterdam's triumphantly defiant music trio are rumoured to play a rock 'n' roll set tonight (r'n'r meaning something other than their usual repertoire here), in an attempt to lure back their old fanbase with something as sincere as old men's sweat. Nina plays her cello accompanied by the sounds of Jasna's magnets and coils. Philipp and Hugo show their prowess as improvisers.

┆ COOLHAVEN ┆
Coolhaven is a band based on the principle of diabetics. Their music is inspired by the disturbance of balance between centrifugal and centripetal energies. The first and last thing Coolhaven has is some kind of concept or idea about how the noises they make should sound. They think the idea of making ‘good' music is kind of obsolete.

┆ NINA HITZ & JASNA VELIČKOVIĆ ┆
Jasna Veličković is a composer, performer and musical instrument inventor from Belgrade, now based in Amsterdam. Her performance setup consists of permanent magnets and coils, a realization of her ongoing artistic research where she aims to create tools that facilitate playing on instruments or objects using the transformative acoustic possibilities of the electromagnetic field. Nina Hitz, born in Switzerland, currently living in The Netherlands, is a questing spirit and skilled cellist. She finished her graduate studies in Baroque cello at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. In addition to baroque music, Hitz' activities also span experimental music, improvisation and theatrical performances.

┆ HUGO COSTA & PHILIPP ERNSTING ┆
This sax & drums duo is one of the most dynamic in the current realm of improvisation music. Both firmly embedded in the Rotterdam scene while also active across the borders, Philipp and Hugo are seasoned musicians who are as comfortable in their traditional roles with their respective instruments as they are with them being skewed or reversed.
The saxophone produces percussive sounds while the drumming provides atypical textures or even melodic approaches. Their album "The Art Of Crashing" highlights their individual and collective strengths, combining challenging material that is aware of certain traditions but steers clear of clear-cut patterns.

Rotterdam-based artist Mono-Poly (aka Dennis Verschoor) has made quite a name for himself as an expert in modular synths. In the past 15 years or so, he amassed a synth/electronica collection and often picks a few of these instruments/machines to perform with at live shows. Dennis is also known as the founder of the Noodlebar: an event series that represents a dedicated synth scene in the Netherlands. Mono-poly now focuses on making electronic music with test equipment (similar to the way they did in the big sound studio’s of the 50s and 60s).

Ash Kilmartin is an artist from Aotearoa, New Zealand, currently based in Rotterdam. She works in sculpture and performance, with ongoing projects in sound, broadcast and publishing as modes of collaboration and distribution. Her recent work is concerned with the speaking voice as tool for finding and making public space. Her work addresses the way the voice operates the distinction between private and public; being the hinge between the physical material of the body, and the social fabric of language. She is interested in gendered characterisations of the speaking body; in non-linguistic vocalisations as communication; and in how the voice can be translated into orthography, texture, or space.
