2025-07-08 19:00 - 21:00 (Europe/London) | GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1096AP, Netherlands
𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘝𝘪𝘰𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦, 𝘌𝘮𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘖𝘳𝘨𝘢𝘯𝘪𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘙𝘢𝘨𝘦 is a creative reading session organised in the context of the retrospective exhibition Sensing Interdependence, with works by the art collective A4C-Artsforthecommons, curated by Aria Spinelli and Angelo Castucci and showcased at de Appel from 27 June to 10 August. The purpose of the session is to present an overview of the Mesoamerican Caravan to Belém (COP30): a caravan traveling from Mexico to Brazil organized by Indigenous and campesino social movements, a space of encounter and mobilization for the peoples and communities that fight in defense of Mother Earth and of territories.
We aim to amplify the stories and demands of communities defending their land and advocating for environmental justice, while sharing our support, dialogue, and alternative approaches with participants. This initiative is a people-driven mobilization, from the local community to the global stage. Now is the time to support land defenders and indigenous communities in their fight for life. Let us stand together to resist violence, embrace pain, and organize our rage.
This event will take place on Tuesday 8 July, between 7-9pm, at GROND (Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam) and is organized by Joint Cultural Initiatives, Debt for Climate, Feministas Holland, and Grond.

TEMPERATURA is a new concert series initiated by the composers/performers Jasna Veličković and Fani Konstantinidou. The series is focused on contemporary music from the Netherlands and beyond, aiming at bringing together all its current expressions.

On Thursday 3 July, TEMPERATURA presents the trio Dirk Bruinsma, Marit Shalem, & Christian Smith, and the duo schoco mune & Fred Marty.
ABOUT THE EVENT
Tribolumina
Tribolumina is an ongoing audiovisual project by SpOp & Bruinsma in collaboration with percussionist Christian Smith . The metariality of played upon objects is a central topic for our audiovisual performance. While playing and projecting we are following the phenomenon of Triboluminiscence, in which light may appear while hitting, shaking, rubbing or scratching solid material.
The composition evolves as a live improvisation: a combination of percussion and a set of recorded samples in correlation with projected video. The duo percussionists achieve a unique in between meditative and extatic sound, with rhythms emerging out of found metal objects and fabricated instruments. Machinery pieces, chains, bells, plates, dishes and more. These are arranged as a sprawling landscape on surfaces as well as hanging mid-air. Added to that are drums, flexible plastic tubes and electronics manipulated by controllers and pedals.
The live visuals are projected on a single or double screens in a way which is either limited to a screen or scattered over the space. While a second projection might appear on a transparent theater screen partly overlapping the main screen. The images contain filmed and manipulated loops of the very played upon objects with glimpses on the musicians themselves, in combination with architectural designs, frozen or gleaming landscapes, light beams and textures in a bath of fluid to dusty substances.
Dirk Bruinsma works as a composer and musician in various settings, ranging from chamber music to soundtracks for film and dance, free improvisation and experimental rock music. He appears on well over a thirty CD productions, mostly of his own groups and worked with various artists for exhibitions or stage productions.
Marit Shalem, also active as SpOp, is a visual artist, creating experimental video works and projects. Her recent work Milk, a documentary installation has been exhibited at MU Hybrid Art House recently. Her projects often introduce multiple linearities while dealing with identity, communication and commercialism.
Christian Streit Smith is a percussionist living in The Hague. Before moving there in 2016, he received master’s degrees from the Basel School of Music and McGill University, as well as a bachelor’s degree in music from the Oberlin Conservatory. He is a core member of Oerknal (NL) and Gyre (CH), and has played for four years with the Rosa Ensemble and Opera Spanga.

schoco mune x Fred Marty
The collaboration between schoco mune and Fred Marty started in 2022, at Multiversal summer retreat in Besançon, France. They release the first new CD “tempête de sable – 砂嵐” (Eng. Sandstorm) the end of June 2025. Carefully exploring the boundary and connection between two different instruments —acoustic double bass and electronic instrument— delivering a prickly sensation of the frequency on your skin, overwhelming soundscapes will make your senses numb, and you will feel absolute silence finally, like you are in a sandstorm
Fred Marty studied classical double bass at the La Roche-sur-Yon and Boulogne- Billancourt Conservatories, and jazz in Bordeaux. Moving to Paris in 2007, he delved into improvisation, developing a unique style that blends everyday sounds with experimental playing techniques. Since 2009, he has explored musique concrète, often incorporating recorded voice and sound materials that evolve slowly. A member of L’Onceim orchestra since 2012, Marty currently works on his solo project, composes for his quartet, and performs with Elizabeth Czerczuk’s company.
schoco mune is a sound performance project that delivers explosive, noisy, chaotic soundscapes with a strong focus on physicality and intuitive action. It started to liberate from all conventional musical approaches and traditional gender norms in 2020. Using sounds as a tool to embody human perception, pain, emotion, feeling, thoughts, and imagination, “schoco mune” explores its cognitive process, share its experience and sense unheard sounds and voices through its performance.

On June 14 we are hosting the next TEMPERATURA.
An evening filled with (un)beaten sounds and (un)expected silences, marked by special performances by the trio Mulder, Willems & Zn, and the duo Veličković-Prins. A free improvisation music event, with some of the musicians meeting on stage for the very first time.
____________
About the Event
Mulder, Willems & Zn – Not a plumbing firm, but a sonic excavation team.
A performance by Mulder, Willems & Zn is a journey through textures and tensions — from near silence to sonic mayhem. You’ll hear scraping springs, breathing rhythms, piano like you’ve never heard it, spontaneous rituals, derailed grooves, and feedback loops that feel almost organic. This is music in conversation: instruments listening, interrupting, transforming one another. There are no setlists, only settings. No solos, only shared disruptions. Sometimes it’s playful. Sometimes disturbing. Often both. And yes — they bring their own instruments, but they might also use a fan, a tin toy, or a discarded piece of metal to unlock new sonic possibilities.

Veličković-Prins
Gert Jan Prins focuses on the sonic and musical qualities of electronic noise and percussion and investigates its relationship with the visual. While he started his career as a drummer, his works include performances, sound-installations, compositions, electronic circuits
and collaborations with other musicians, visual artists, composers, and dancers.
Jasna Veličković is a Belgrade-born composer and performer based in Amsterdam. Her artistic output has been developed through an interaction between a life-long fascination with the sound, an enduring interest in an intricate encounter between music and technology, and an inclination towards experimentation.

On June 8th, Jonathan Reus will present his work Bla Blavatar vs Jaap Blonk and Marije Baalman will present her works Composing an Interaction and The Machine is Learning.
Inter Acts is an afternoon with performances that deal with interactions between the human and the machine in different ways. The goal of the event is also to create a dialogue between audience and performers on these interactions, and thus the event also gives space for a Q&A with the artists, both for the visitors to learn more about the works, as well as for the artist to get feedback on their work.
______________________
About the performances
Bla Blavatar vs Jaap Blonk
BLA BLAVATAR vs JAAP BLONK – an experimental collaboration between Jonathan Reus and the reknowned sound poet Jaap Blonk, exploring voice dataset making as a laborious, improvisational and absurdly banal performance form.
The performance is an absurdist take on the cultural obsession with generative AI avatars and the goldrush to capitalise on creative automation. Rather than focusing on the uncanny realism of voice clones, the performance foregrounds the physical, creative and mental effort of performing sound poetry precisely according to an AI-friendly score, inspired by traditions of phonetically balanced reading scripts in speech research, and artistic traditions of typographical musical scores in sound poetry.
Reus performs as BLA BLAVATAR, using a custom real-time voice synthesis instrument called Tungnaa, which is trained on previous dataset poem performances by Blonk. The dynamic between Blonk and Reus sways from moments of precise and controlled material to improvised duets between Blonk and his vocal avatar. During the performance all of Blonk’s vocalisations are recorded and added to a growing public dataset, and will be used as training data for making BLA BLAVATAR a better public speaker. Together, Blonk and Reus bring the vocal labor behind AI voice models to the stage, as well as use datasets and dataset making as a vocal art form that is fundamentally creative and exploratory, rather than a dehumanising means to an end.

Composing an Interaction
Composing an Interaction is a lecture-performance in which Marije Baalman explains how a modern artist might use her book in the creation process of an interactive art work, in casu quo a sock puppet.
Composing an Interaction was created for the launch of the book Composing Interactions

The Machine is Learning
The performance the machine is learning is a theatrical performance highlighting the process of training a machine with realtime gestures: the labour that is absent from most dialogues on machine learning. In an attempt to livecode with gestures, the performer finds herself directed by the machine to repetitively make gestures to generate time series data samples for the machine to learn from.
Machine learning is both hailed as the solution to our current day problems, as well as claimed as one of the most threatening things to life as we know it. The popular discussion on AI criticizes issues of privacy with regard to data collection and the use of this data to take decisions that affect the life of people in possibly negative ways. At the same time, with the possibilities of AI further automating work, jobs are at danger and the fear is that this will leave many without a job in the future. On the other hand, the labour involved in making machine learning algorithms work, is less prominent in the popular discussion. The labour involved in AI consists not only of designing and programming algorithms, but also in generating and categorising these data samples. The working conditions of these tasks are generally not known.

About the Artists
The L.A.S. Collective is more than just a band presenting a specific musical style. It is a collective of artists associated with the L.A.S. Foundation (Listening and Sounding), which organically emerged during a concert tour promoting the L.A.S. Listening and Sounding label in Europe in 2024. The musicians continually propose new artistic combinations depending on where they are and in what constellation they create new art. They are characterised by complete openness, an awareness of creating new concepts, forms, sounds, conscious and deep listening, and coherence of expression regardless of any stylistic limitations.
Marcos Baggiani is a drummer, composer, and music producer based in Amsterdam. He counts numerous collaborations with artists and musicians from around the world.

Spelltown is a concert series initiated by New Emergences in collaboration with GROND: a gathering for experimentation and improvisation. In this series, the invited artists are encouraged to explore new musical expressions and/or form new collaborations. Each event closes with an improvisation set where artists and (some of) the NE members meet altogether on stage.
For this gathering, we invited the multi-instrumentalist and composer Marielle Groven, the electronic music performer Donia Jourabchi, and the sound & movement artist–and GROND member–Marc Nukoop. Together with them on stage, members of the NE electroacoustic music ensemble: Dan Gibson, Anne Wellmer, Semay Wu, Mariette Groot, and Fani Konstantinidou.
The same evening, Ramon Smit is presenting a food installation and preparing special (vegetarian/vegan) dinner inspired by the music.

About the Artists

Marielle Groven, Canadian multi-instrumentalist and composer, has been based in Amsterdam since 2019. She performs on violin, piano and pipe organ and composes for various ensembles.
Her composed music foregrounds the beauty and complexity of raw sound roughly hewn. Her scores are handmade, using a very personal style of notation with graphic elements.
For Spelltown, she brings her violin and solo improvising talents, inspired by Amsterdam’s international free improvised music scene. In this she has developed a personal approach embracing her musical roots in Atlantic Canada and her background in experimental music. Lately she is experimenting with amplification.

Harvest Festival
2025-05-30 00:00 - 2025-06-01 23:59 (Europe/London) | GROND, Bijdorpstraat 1, Amsterdam, 1096AP, Netherlands
From the 30st of May till the 1st of June GROND will host part of the Harvest Festival organized in collaboration with damdam – an interconnected web of collectives emerging from de Appel’s Curatorial Programme, the Lumbung Practice Temporary Master Programme at Sandberg Instituut and Gudskul’s Collective Study Programme in Indonesia.
Building on the 25 years of Lumbung kindred experiments leading to lumbung – documenta fifteen, for the first time this year we will gather with collectives to practice sustainable economies, to think about our collective infrastructures, shared practices, common resources and values. One of our values is caring about the process, rather than focusing on the production of artworks or exhibitions as isolated outputs. We turn toward each other and the relations that bind us.
Our curatorial approach is embedded in the politics of friendship, interdependence, trust, collective joy as well as engagement withAmsterdam and our localities. Alongside mapping our resources and needs in our ecosystem, we build a common ground and think about potential seeds to plant. Out of this process, several self-organised working groups emerged around common urgencies: community, land, economy, printing, publishing, pedagogy, documenting and archiving. In the Harvest Festival 2025 we share our understanding of lumbung practice and ongoing processes through nongkrongs (gatherings), workshops, screenings, discussions, dinners and parties. What kind of future can we envision if we reorient our work around sharing, communal rhythms, and solidarity?
The program at GROND:
Friday 30 May, 10.00 – 17.00
Mubadele
Workshop and Talk
Through the idea of Mubadele we aim to create a system where knowledge, skills, and materials circulate beyond the constraints of money. By mapping our existing resources, and by organising discussions on funding, this gathering is part of a longer-term vision: to develop strategies for economic resilience that are rooted in solidarity, not scarcity. With Elke Uitentuis, Colin Roustan and Alina Lupu.
Exhibition Opening – Everywhere is War
Friday 30 May, 17.00 – 21.00
Through the making of stop motion animations the collectives Er Sell Reality and SSMG (Sudanese Stop Motion Group) gave shape to the feelings of guilt that they are facing because of leaving their beloved land and relationships behind. Everywhere is War is a process-oriented presentation that shows how both collectives have been experimenting with the animation techniques and exploring the battlefields under their skin.
During the opening there will be dinner from 5 to 7pm cooked by Mohamed Alnoor,
and from 9pm a radio performance by Marc Nukoop, Ivo Bol and Wytze Minne de Swart.
The exhibition is also open on 31 May and 1 June from 12 to 9pm.

Saturday 31 May, 18.00 – 21.00
Don’t Stop Talking About Exile: The Voice of Women TV Show + Congo Solidarity Dinner

The rule is clear: we play. There is a beginning and an end. We meet. We are. Together. What happens in between surprises. No rules, no judgement. All different. Stepping in the unknown. Where the schedule stopped running. We Play.
Julie Kurris is a theatrical performer and transdisciplinary Scientist who is always looking to dialogue with other performers and artists. She loves to play and create spaces that were unthinkable.

Daphne Karstens combines sculpture and costume to create experimental wearable sculptures, costumes, performances and installations. Her work focuses on experimentation with materials, shape and structure on and around the body. She often works with unconventional materials and combines the individual qualities of materials with shapes and structures.

Jasper Stadhouders’ playing showcases a completely natural musicality. One has the sense that he is so connected with his instrument he can play whatever he imagines. His ability to perform difficult compositions, with an assured sense of rhythm and harmony, combined with his extremely physical and dynamic approach to improvising, has led him being one of the most sought after guitarists around.
Screenshot
Olga Tsyganova was born in St.Petersburg, Russia and grew up in the U.S. Seeking out what brings joy and gives challenges, she found teachers in storytelling and listening, dance, theater. Her studies in psychology and her passion of dance brought her to the desire to do physical theater. She studied at the Mime school in Amsterdam and works on combining poetry, dreams, reality and music in her work.

Nasim López-Palacios Navarro is an artist who works with music and computers. As a drummer, improviser, and composer, and a beginner in programming, he uses these tools to create art, and as a source of inspiration.

For Ivo Bol all sounds are special: the hum of the fridge, or the noise of the record just before the song starts. He performs his music using his body and mind to manipulate these sounds with light sensors, touch, gesture or brainwaves.

About the Artists
TRUSTYOURT (Kristina Vodorezova) is a modular enthusiast and a minimalist at heart, trustyourt navigates listeners through intricate sonic realms where chance and intention dance as one. Embracing the beauty of chaos and the spontaneity of improvisation, she weaves delicate drone compositions that invite deep, collective listening. Her performances shift between the intimacy of a single wearable DIY instrument and the expansive presence of a sprawling modular suitcase. With a love for blending the raw resonance of acoustic instruments – like zither and kalimba – with the unpredictable pulse of modular synthesis, trustyourt blurs the boundaries between the organic and the electric, offering meditative portals into unknown soundscapes.
TRUSTYOURT

Kryptogen Rundfunk is an experimental sound project started in 2002 in St. Petersburg, Russia and
currently based in Amstelveen, The Netherlands. The project works with analogue electronics, radio
waves, electromagnetic interference and found sounds, creating sophisticated aural images, often
exploring extreme areas of the sonic spectrum. The purpose of these experiments is to temporarily
switch off listeners’ rational perception and immerse them into the direct experience of abstract sound.
During the 20 years of its activity, the project has recorded several studio albums released by European
and Russian labels, and performed numerous live gigs, both solo and in collaboration with many local and
international artists. Among the most well-known names to share the stage with were Einstürzende
Neubauten, Ben Frost, Bad Sector, Jacob Kirkegaard, Aube, Clock DVA, and Brighter Death Now.
Artem Ostapchuk, the man behind this project, is also the founder of the Zhelezobeton record label, which
became one of the biggest distributors of experimental music in Russia, but was closed in 2022 because
of relocation to The Netherlands. At present time, Artem operates Base Station label
and Fonodroom distribution.
Kryptogen Rundfunk
Mazen Al Ashkar is a mixed media artist creating interactive objects, images, videos, and installations, who plays with words as well as musical and nonmusical forms of sounds. He is interested in looking at the functions given to natural and constructed elements in relation to metaphysical narratives within structures such as idealism and materialism.

Temperatura: Looking for Life vol.1
2025-05-21 20:00 - 22:00 (Europe/London)
Looking for Life vol. 1 presents three sound performances on the evening of the 21st of May at GROND, Amsterdam. Part of the Temperatura experimental music series.
With Ege Şahin, Domenika Georgiou, and Oscar van Leest.
Curated by Kristijonas Groblys.
food by Judith Baten
The act of looking for life is rooted in the search for vital, necessary action — the wish to be affected, the openness to experience. Three artists will weave around the theme of sound-making and its connection to the act of living.
Shaping sound physically, Ege Şahin will intervene in acoustic space with feedback baritone guitar. The improvised poetry of towering and complex tone structures emerges in the modular synthesis of Oscar van Leest. Domenika Georgiou blends human and machine life in her performance for Nintendo 3DS and mechanical armour.
GROND Bijdorpstraat 1, 1096AP, Amsterdam

Dinner: + €15 (RSVP required – Reserve by purchasing online)
About the Artists
Ege Şahin – Mirror Angel
Ege Şahin’s Mirror Angel emerges from an improvisation practice to explore sound’s vibratory potential in the space between a human performer, electric guitar, and amplifier(s). There will be a rationally tuned baritone feedback guitar, transducers, electromagnetic mics and exciters, and a performer in relationship with them through feedback, metal objects, and his body.
Ege Şahin works in sound and music near the free-improvisation and electro-acoustic spheres with care for materiality in composition and spirituality in performance. On the more academic side, he has been researching the relationship between different cultures’ metaphysics and their sound culture as part of his Master’s at the Institute of Sonology, in the Hague, where he is now based.

Oscar van Leest – Untitled
Oscar van Leest (1994) is an Amsterdam-based sound artist, musician and sound designer. In his practice, he explores the entangled relationships between sound and spatial context and how they are experienced across a wide range of technical tools; from software and to electro-acoustic devices and modular synthesis. The same tools shape his musical projects where they are applied in a genre-defying sonic framework of experimental electronics that emphasizes improvisation, indeterminacy and generativity.
Oscar will perform a texture-focused live set, built around a modular synthesizer setup.

Domenika Georgiou – 𝑀𝑒𝒸𝒽𝒶𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝒞𝑜𝓇𝑒
Domenika Georgiou is a multidisciplinary artist based in The Hague. Currently pursuing an MA in ArtScience at KABK and the Royal Conservatory in The Hague. Her work spans performance, immersive installations, sound, digital media, and custom-built machinery—including wearable cyber prostheses and autonomous devices. With a deep interest in paradox, transformation, and post-dualistic states, Domenika explores the thresholds of identity and perception through symbolic, metaphorical and cybernetic frameworks. Her work has been shown and performed across Europe in venues such as Kupfer Gallery (London), Fabbrica del Vapore (Milan), Bim Milano.
𝑀𝑒𝒸𝒽𝒶𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝒞𝑜𝓇𝑒 is a powered armor machine with a built-in heart mechanism, designed to protect the wearer from external threats while fulfilling the human desire to mechanize nature in the pursuit of new life through technology. The soundscape unfolds through glitchy Nintendo textures moving between ambient sweetness and distortion. It shifts from a comforting softness to chaos, from delicacy to decay—beating a rhythm of memory transforming into new life, and exploring the tension between fragility and artificial foreverness
