Janneke van der Putten: ‘Cycles: Overtones and Glottis Attack’, Weston Olencki & Laura Cocks: ‘Music for Two Flutes’, Sunik Kim
On Thursday, 13th of February, default den haag will host an event featuring a site-specific performance by Janneke van der Putten, a duo performance by Weston Olencki & Laura Cocks, and a concert by Sunik Kim. The Rotterdam-based artist Janneke van der Putten will be presenting her acoustic voice performance ‘Cycles: Overtones and Glottis Attack’. She is specialized in producing two or more sounds simultaneously: basic tones, harmonics, interferences – like glottal attacks – and spatial reflections. Her voice is her main tool, guiding her through physical and sonic explorations in different landscapes, engaging with specific sites and local contexts. The duo of composers-performers Weston Olencki & Laura Cocks will be presenting their two pieces for two flutes ‘Music for Two Flutes’. It involves immense, heavy physicality, exploring the instrument with both persistent power and sensitive buzzing – locating sites of intensity and spectral saturation where they aren’t always found. Sunik Kim is a computer musician, writer and filmmaker currently based in Los Angeles, whose music is often described as “a frenzied electronic orchestra that sits somewhere in between free jazz, noise, and Korean shamanic music”. At default, Sunik will be presenting the first hour of a new extended piece that emerged from an intensive study of Conlon Nancarrow’s usage of the tempo canon and its relation to the compression and dilation of perceptual time.
