CHURCH MUSIC x Klankvorm

This year’s edition of CHURCH MUSIC is created in collaboration with Klankvorm. Together, they bring forward an evening shaped specifically for the church’s unique acoustic and architectural character. Four artists draw from diverse sonic traditions and experimental approaches, letting their work respond directly to the space itself. From acoustic resonance to sacred aesthetics, every element of the performances is attuned to its surroundings; blurring the lines between the visceral and the transcendental.

Rotor – Linear Horizon

Rotor is an experimental audiovisual project founded in 2017 by Rotterdam-based artists Eelco Ottenhof and Joris Strijbos. The duo explores the interplay between sound, movement, and light, creating immersive environments that blur the boundaries between installation and performance. For CHURCHMUSIC x Klankvorm, Rotor presents the new audiovisual performance Linear Horizon, in which image and sound come together in seamless synchronization.

Berneat Boronat + Christine Cornwell + Lucija Gregov + Ruben Kotkamp

Following their initial collaboration for Conflux Festival 2025, Bernat Boronat, Lucija Gregov, Christine Cornwell, and Ruben Kotkamp return to work together, attuning their practice to the acoustics and spatial presence of the Paradise Church. Rooted in improvisation, the group explores the contrast between the earthly and the transcendental, using each artist’s individual practice as a vehicle for friction and convergence.

Noah Sherrin 

Noah Cedar Sherrin is a composer and sound artist from a small island on the west coast of Canada, now based between Berlin and Montréal. His work spans music and sound design for linear and interactive media, experimental music releases, site-specific sound installations, digital lutherie, and location recording projects.

Puck Wacki

Puck Wacki is an interdisciplinary artist and musician based in Rotterdam, active in Rotterdam and The Hague. In her artistic practice, she explores how people relate to human-designed systems and machines, including abstract constructs such as time. In her performances, Wacki dissects and manipulates machines to explore and redefine their meaning by placing them in new contexts and functions. These performances operate at the intersection of sound art, experimental music, and installation, revealing the tension between the technical and the musical.
