Imagine yourself deepening in a lucid dream, where all your senses are enhanced, where you reflect on them, juggle and play with them. Where you experience the synesthetic qualities of senses by hearing the light and smelling the music. Where you transform yourself by conducting senses and emotional responses while enjoying aesthetic stimuli.

By common knowledge, human perception relies on hearing, taste, smell, vision and touch. We will put this simplistic statement into a subtler empirical context that we call Spectral Perspective. During the event we’ll be carefully combining aesthetic elements of music, sound, light, taste, smell and space to induce a broad spectrum of emotional and mental states.

Our approach is based on the belief that all our receptors sense waves of various frequencies, just like we see the colours or hear timbres. The senses of different frequencies will intervene and interfere with each other; they will resonate and phase.

The senses are given to us to orientate better within our reality. They form our reality and consequently they form us. The more our senses are developed the more prolific a vision of reality we can grasp.

Senses are the instruments of our perception, why not be the master or at least a friend of them? Just like a Kung Fu master listening to the sound of reality in the trilling of a dewdrop on the edge of the leaf.

An international group of Amsterdam-based artists will each provide a certain range of the spectrum. We will integrate the architectonic elements of the building into the concept of the evening with dymamic light instalation, while using the unique acoustic qualities of the space.

Stel je voor dat je helemaal opgaat in een heldere droom, waarin je zintuigen op scherp staan, waarin je nadenkt over je eigen waarnemingen, ermee jongleert en speelt. Waarin je de kruisbestuivende gaven van jouw zintuigen ervaart door licht te horen en muziek te ruiken. Waar je jezelf laat meevoeren door de gewaarwordingen en emotionele reacties, terwijl je geniet van de esthetische prikkels.

Het is algemeen bekend, dat menselijke waarneming berust op gehoor, smaak, geur, zicht en tastzin. We zetten deze simplistische uitspraak in een subtielere empirische context die we “Spectral Perspective” noemen.

Tijdens het evenement combineren we esthetische elementen van muziek, geluid, licht, smaak, geur en ruimte voor het opwekken van een breed spectrum aan emotionele en mentale gemoedstoestanden.

Onze aanpak is gebaseerd op de overtuiging, dat onze receptoren golven van verschillende frequenties gewaarworden, waardoor we verschil in kleuren kunnen zien of verschil in timbres kunnen horen. De waarnemingen van verschillende frequenties zullen op elkaar ingrijpen en met elkaar interfereren; zij zullen gaan resoneren en faseren.

Zintuigen zijn ons gegeven zodat wij ons beter kunnen oriënteren in onze realiteit. Ze vormen onze realiteit en daaruit volgend vormen ze ons. Hoe beter onze zintuigen zijn ontwikkeld, des te rijker we een beeld van de werkelijkheid kunnen vatten.

Zintuigen zijn de instrumenten van je perceptie! Waarom niet de meester of althans een vriend van hen zijn?
Net zoals een Kung-Fu Meester die de werkelijkheid hoort door te luisteren naar de trillingen van een dauwdruppel op de rand van een blad…

Een internationale groep in Amsterdam wonende artiesten zullen ieder een deel van het spectrum leveren. Zij zullen de architectonische elementen van het gebouw integreren in het concept van de avond met dynamische lichteffecten en gebruikmakend van de unieke akoestieke eigenschappen van de ruimte.

1. THROAT SINGERS THAT PASSED AWAY RECENTLY

One show is by Norwegian Morten Abildsnes, and is devoted to throat singers who have passed away in the last 10 years. An important theme which asks our attention to the tragic and untimely fate of many great Tuvan musicians, and which honours them once more (“post-mortem”).  Don’t wait to listen to his one! Only a few weeks are left before it goes offline.

Morten Abildsnes

The artists presented are:
Ayas Danzyryn 1976–2005
Timur Kara-sal 1973–2005
Mönggün-ool Dambashtai 1956–2009
Aleksandr Sarzhat-ool 1957–2011
Aldyn-ool Sevek 1962–2011
Kongar-ool Ondar 1962–2013
Vladimir Oidupaa 1949–2013
Oktyabr Saaya 1968–2012

2. EPIC THROAT SINGING FROM KHAKASSIA

The Dutch program is by Russian-Dutch producer, field-recordist, DJ Maxim Chapochnikov from Amsterdam, founder of Window to Europe. He first travelled to South-Siberia in the early 1990s. On one of his trips he met Slava Kuchenov, who had just received a calling from the spirit of khaidzhi, or epic story-tellers/reciters. Without any further experience or help, Kuchenov build himself an instrument and started reciting ancient stories about Khakass heroes. Kuchenov is and was a very clear case of a young man who does not set out to learn epic singing, but who receives a divine gift to tell epic stories. They just appeared to him, without first learning them by heart, like dreams appear to us. Maksim was there to capture this gift on mic right when it happened (of course Kuchenov still recites epics nowadays). Maksim presents a large part of the original recording in his radioshow. After a Dutch introduction you can hear almost one hour of Khakass epic throat singing. To listen, click on the link below, then click on the small loudspeaker to the right of the words “22:00 – 23:00 De Zwervende Microfoon”.http://www.concertzender.nl/programmagids/?date=2015-01-31&month=0&detail=76042
