All things come to an end. After 11 years, it’s time to say goodbye, so long and farewell De Ruimte. We are looking forward to celebrating the legacy of De Ruimte with you in November and December. Join us as we explore the past and look to the future.

While some things come to an end, other people and places are popping up!

DODÓ KIS

Dodó Kis is a Hungarian recorder and EWI (electric wind instrument) player, composer and improviser with a soft spot for theater and electronics. She is a free-spirited player who finds her space in a variety of genres and styles, from folk-jazz to alternative funk-rock, from early music to free improvisation.Her most recent projects include the multimedia trio VEZEL and improvisational dance band The Big Kiss. In 2024 Dodó has been touring with her new solo program that incorporates all elements that are dear to her heart; recorders, electronics, performance and folk music from her home country.

ORPHAX
Amsterdam based musician and trained drummer Sietse van Erve (Orphax) was introduced to electronic music in the early nineties. After playing around with tracker software and music with beats and melodies, he started researching new sounds and new ways of working – always with an organic touch, often incorporating sounds that would be regarded by others as errors or mistakes. Considering life isn’t without errors either. During this search, he found his way into drone and microtonal music. As a result in his most recent work, time and spatiality become more important factors. The goal of the music is for the listener to lose the sense of time and place. Live this is combined with room for improvisation. This way of working often results in an organic form of drone and minimal music.

AIMÉE THERIOT
Aimée’s music draws from free improvisation, ambient, ASMR, and soundscape recordings, with a heavy dose of experimentation using live electronics, e-cello, guitar, and voice. Her work has been presented at festivals and galleries internationally, and her music has been released on labels such as Sofa Music, Editions Verde, Unheard Records, and Relative Pitch Records amongst others. Aimée co-founded and facilitates The Social Music Club; open improvisation and sound experimentation sessions for musicians and non-musicians alike.

CLARA DE ASÍS

Clara de Asís is a composer, performer and producer who explores the correlations of acoustics, spatiality and the praxis of attention. Her work accounts for material and sociopolitical relationality in the processes of engaging with sound, and is grounded in the elasticity of perception. She incorporates electronics and sound synthesis to idiosyncratic combinations of diverse materials, found objects and traditional instrumentation.

Her compositions, often developed collaboratively, juxtapose structural precision to areas of indeterminacy, drawing from an interest in experimental intonation, timbral research and the junction of rational and irrational systems.

ZENO VAN DEN BROEK

Zeno van den Broek is a composer and artist who explores the intricate relationship between humans and technology. Through his audiovisual creations, he delves into how our interactions with fabricated environments shape our experiences. Van den Broek’s works challenge the conventional understanding of how we perceive and engage with technology-infused spaces. By creating intense and thought-provoking experiences, he disrupts our habitual consumption of these spaces and interactions, prompting us to venture beyond our comfort zones and actively explore new possibilities.
