Come Closer: Come Closer: Sound Performance Zeno van den Broek and Artist Talk Organist Jacob Lekkerkerker


Show gallery or Scroll for more

Zeno van den Broek is fascinated by the experience of sound in and around the church. There is a great contrast between the loudness in the immediate surroundings and the silence inside the church - Taturo Atzu's platform added a new layer to this. A live performance, composed of recordings of the surroundings of the church, recordings of the silence inside the church and organ sounds, which made the contrast between silence and noise and the new position of the platform tangible and audible. Afterwards, there was a conversation with Jacob Lekkerkerker, organist of the Oude Kerk. He is known as an improviser and "organ pioneer who mixes the classical organ sound with the world of digital sound". By combining the organ with turntables, for example, he builds bridges to other styles of music. He talked about the building as a sound instrument.
