Composers group Monotàk hosts another benefit concert for GROND with duo the Annes (Anne La Berge / Anne Welmer), Thomas Myrmel with Dodó Kis and Sato Endo, and films with music from Ricardo Huisman and Christina Viola Oorebeek.

THE ANNES first met more than a quarter of a century ago. At that time they played a flute and a few laptops. A lot has happened since. It has been tremendously wonderful to meet again and play together. This GROND show is their first duo appearance after quite some time. This time they will play flute, a couple of laptops and more electronic devices and gadgets.

Convex Stream is a composition by Thomas Myrmel, with excerpts from John Ashbery’s Self-portrait in a Convex Mirror. It is perfomed by Thomas Myrmel (Trombone/electronica), Dodó Kis (recorder/effects) and Sato Endo (dance).
Thomas Myrmel (1982, USA) is a composer, performer and multifaceted artist. He is a co-founder of composer collective Monotak and the musicians organisation Splendor.
Dodó Kis is a Hungarian recorder and EWI player, based in Amsterdam, and curator of the Nebular sessions
Sato Endo is a maker of interdisciplinary performances, working independently and project-based at theaters, art venues and at various sites. Sato often incorporates video with choreography.

Christina Viola Oorebeek
PeRiOd pOiNt blAnK (2016, revision 2021)
for Fixed-Media and Kinetic Collage
Orignally written for live performances of DUO VERSO, Stefan Gerritsen,guitar and Matthijs Koene, panflutes, with fixed-media and video, I decided to make a music video-only version of ‘PeRiOd pOiNt blAnK ‘ in 2021.  This incorporates recordings of DUO VERSO and the fixed-media, but with a visual concentration on the Crip-walk by ‘Ghost’ and added electronic materials and transformations to the music.
Starting as a stylized set of foot moves spelling out neighborhood territories and the name of the Crips, a street gang in South Central, Los Angeles, the Crip Walk gained the status of a staple of hip-hop dance, and went viral among street movers over the globe as the Clownwalk, the Crownwalk.  The elegance of its movements is contrasted by the harsh realities of gang life in a megalopolis, something man often combines – for example, making beautifully decorative armour and weapons to go to war in…
somewhat incongruous __ raps and new sounds, tv statics and shifting temple textures, from territorial street walk to dance suite
Ricardo Huisman – “virtual (kitch)en damast” – slow animation with soundscape (8:01 min.), 2022

Uit de serie: “virtual textiles”, (virtuele) tactiele collages van verschillende media, materialen incl. wollen dekens als digitale fotowerken of als slow animations al dan niet met sound- scapes, met verschillende historische verwijzingen, (actuele) thema’s. De “virtual textiles” tactiele collages, zijn (tijdelijk) tot stand gekomen met en door hergebruik van (textiele) restmaterialen, gereedschappen, oude (foto)boeken uit de jaren 70, (kleine) objecten, enz. in mijn atelier.
