SUMMARY:Nachtnetgat: postphoned to oct 5th
DESCRIPTION: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. \nTickets: regular €10 (or more) / discount €7 – available at the door or online here. \nDinner: + €20 (RSVP required – Reserve by purchasing online) \nIt is possible to get a ticket for just the performance without the diner.\nPerformers: Jasper Stadhouders\, Julie Kurris\, Ivo Bol\, Olga Tsyganova\, Nasim López-Palacios Navarro\nWearable sculpture artist: Daphne Karstens\nFood by Judith Baten\nThe 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. \nJulie 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. \n \nDaphne 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. \n \nJasper 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. \nScreenshot\nOlga 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. \n\nNasim 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. \n\nFor 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. \n \n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:TEMPERATURA
DESCRIPTION:Experimental music | Live Electronics\nw/TRUSTYOURT\, Ctrl Freq\, Kryptogen Rundfunk\, Fani Konstantinidou\, Mazen Al Ashkar\nGROND Bijdorpstraat 1\, 1096AP\, Amsterdam\n20:30 (doors: 20:00)\nTickets: regular €10 (or more) / discount €7 – available at the door or Online \nVegetarian Dinner form 19:00 hrs by Sudanese chef Mohamed Noor \ndiner + €15 RSVP required – Reservations: Mahmmednoor954@gmail.com \nOn Friday 23 May\, we are hosting an experimental-electronic music evening with performances by TRUSTYOURT\, Ctrl Freq\, Kryptogen Rundfunk\, and the GROND members Mazen Al Ashkar and Fani Konstantinidou. The five artists bring their live-electronics solo sets.  Among others\, expect performances with modular synthesisers\, DIY musical instruments\, and light sensors. \n\n______________________\nAbout the Artists\nTRUSTYOURT  (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. \nTRUSTYOURT\nCtrl Freq a.k.a Kacper Ziemianin has a background in classical music and a lot of adventures in modern sound and music. He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Sonic Arts from Middlsex University\, London and Master’s degree in Sonology at the Royal Conservatory in The Hague\, the Netherlands. \nSound designer\, circuit bender\, vagabond\, improviser\, producer\, audio-hacker\, instrument designer\, nomad\, radio presenter\, workshop leader\, squatter\, soon-to-be a published writer. His audio works have been shown and played in many places around and outside of Europe. Currently based in The Hague\, NL working as a freelance instrument designer and performer as well as teacher of DIY electronics. His latest endeavor\, the ‘LightSeq’ has received funding from Stimuleringsfonds NL and won an award at an international electronic music festival ‘Radical dB’ in Zaragoza\, Spain. \nCtrl Freq\nKryptogen Rundfunk is an experimental sound project started in 2002 in St. Petersburg\, Russia and\ncurrently based in Amstelveen\, The Netherlands. The project works with analogue electronics\, radio\nwaves\, electromagnetic interference and found sounds\, creating sophisticated aural images\, often\nexploring extreme areas of the sonic spectrum. The purpose of these experiments is to temporarily\nswitch off listeners’ rational perception and immerse them into the direct experience of abstract sound.\nDuring the 20 years of its activity\, the project has recorded several studio albums released by European\nand Russian labels\, and performed numerous live gigs\, both solo and in collaboration with many local and\ninternational artists. Among the most well-known names to share the stage with were Einstürzende\nNeubauten\, Ben Frost\, Bad Sector\, Jacob Kirkegaard\, Aube\, Clock DVA\, and Brighter Death Now.\nArtem Ostapchuk\, the man behind this project\, is also the founder of the Zhelezobeton record label\, which\nbecame one of the biggest distributors of experimental music in Russia\, but was closed in 2022 because\nof relocation to The Netherlands. At present time\, Artem operates Base Station label\nand Fonodroom distribution. \nKryptogen Rundfunk\nMazen 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. \nMazen Al Ashkar\nFani Konstantinidou is a composer\, performer\, and music researcher based in Amsterdam. She expresses her musical ideas in various formats such as site-specific and multichannel compositions\, improvisation\, and through collaborative projects with artists of various disciplines.

SUMMARY:Temperatura: Looking for Life vol.1
DESCRIPTION: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.\nWith Ege Şahin\, Domenika Georgiou\, and Oscar van Leest.\nCurated by Kristijonas Groblys. \nfood by Judith Baten \nThe 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.\nShaping 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. \nGROND Bijdorpstraat 1\, 1096AP\, Amsterdam\n20:00 (doors: 19:30)\nTickets: regular €10 (or more) / discount €7 – available at the door or Online \nDinner: + €15 (RSVP required – Reserve by purchasing online) \nAbout the Artists\nEge Şahin – Mirror Angel\nEge 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. \nEge 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. \n \nOscar van Leest – Untitled \nOscar 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. \nOscar will perform a texture-focused live set\, built around a modular synthesizer setup.  \n \nDomenika Georgiou – 𝑀𝑒𝒸𝒽𝒶𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝒞𝑜𝓇𝑒 \nDomenika 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. \n𝑀𝑒𝒸𝒽𝒶𝐻𝑒𝒶𝓇𝓉𝒞𝑜𝓇𝑒 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 \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:TEMPERATURA
DESCRIPTION:Free Improvisation\nw/Giuseppe Doronzo\, Katerina Orfanoudaki\, Nina Hitz\, Jasna Veličković\, Fani Konstantinidou\, + food by Judith Baten\nGROND Bijdorpstraat 1\, 1096AP\, Amsterdam\n20:30 – Dinner from 18:30\nTickets: regular €10 (or more) / discount €7 / +Dinner p.p. €15* – available at the door or online\n*Reservation is recommended – please reserve by purchasing online.\n \nOn Saturday 17 May\, come to GROND for our first Temperatura music event. The GROND members and live electronics performers Jasna Veličković and Fani Konstantinidou improvise with the harpsichord player Katerina Orfanoudaki\, the cello player Nina Hitz\, and the baritone saxophone player Giuseppe Doronzo. A free improvisation evening where the five artists are coming together for the first time.\nThe same evening\, Judith Baten is improvising in the kitchen and preparing vegan/vegetarian dinner! \n\n______________________\nAbout the Artists\nKaterina Orfanoudaki is a harpsichordist and performer whose work bridges early music traditions with contemporary and experimental practices. She studied Harpsichord Performance at the Ionian University under Katerina Michopoulou and continued her specialization in Contemporary Harpsichord at the Conservatorium van Amsterdam with Goska Isphording\, Menno van Delft\, and Kris Verhelst. She has also pursued studies in Music Cognition at the University of Amsterdam. \nHer projects often explore unconventional instrumentations and transdisciplinary collaborations. She is a founding member of ensembles including Duo Suzanne (with flutist Teresa Costa)\, Sine Sole Sileo (with vocalist Irene Soroźabal Moreno)\, and experimental duos combining harpsichord with saxophonist Nicki Kokolakis\, double bassist Ignacio Pintó\, and electronics. \nHer artistic work includes original compositions and performative soundscape interventions\, as seen in projects like “Formed by the Gaze\, Twisted by the Beast”\, “Galatea” co-created together with Vera Morais and “Relocations: Polyphony and Identity.” With a deep interest in historically informed performance\, new music\, free improvisation and cross-genre creation\, Katerina continually seeks to expand the expressive possibilities of the harpsichord in today’s musical landscape. \nKaterina Orfanoudaki – photo: Thomas Huisman\nNina Hitz is a cellist living in the Netherlands\, originally trained in early music but drawn to the fringes of sound. A former member of The Kilimanjaro Darkjazz Ensemble and The Mount Fuji Doomjazz Corporation\, she has collaborated with dancers\, actors\, musicians\, and performance artists in both the Netherlands and Switzerland\, creating works that ranged from tightly structured compositions to more fluid\, atmospheric\, and unpredictable forms. \nHer work explores sound as a parallel to life — layered\, unstable\, and full of contradiction. She is fascinated by inconsistency\, embracing the imperfect and the ephemeral. Whether through structured improvisation or intuitive noise\, she seeks resonance in all forms\, sizes\, and silences. \nNina Hitz\nGiuseppe Doronzo is an Italian multi-reed player\, composer and performer based in Amsterdam. He focuses his research on the baritone saxophone\, where he expands a vocabulary at the intersection of contemporary music\, jazz improvisation and non-western music. His musical quest merges composed and improvised music with ancient Mediterranean cultures and rituals. In his recent performances\, he introduces instruments discovered during his travels\, like the ney-anban (Iranian bagpipe)\, hulusi (Chinese gourd reed instrument)\, longari (Albanian double flute)\, and mizmar (Egyptian reed instrument)\, that made a profound emotional and sonic impact on him. He also collaborates with choreographers and film makers. \nIn 2022 has received the BUMA Award for his film music and in 2024 the Musician of the Year Award from Polish Jazz Press Magazine. He leads AVA Trio and has worked with creative artists covering various fields of the national and international art including: Michael Moore\, Joe Lovano\, Mariem Hassan\, Han Bennink\, NDR Big Band\, João Bosco\, Taylor Ho Bynum\, Irene Aebi Lacy\, Jim Black\, Matt Wilson. \nGiuseppe Doronzo – photo: Yiğit Demircioğlu\nJasna 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 toward experimentation. \nJasna Veličković\nFani Konstantinidou is a composer\, performer\, and music researcher based in Amsterdam. She expresses her musical ideas in various formats such as site-specific and multichannel compositions\, improvisation\, and through collaborative projects with artists of various disciplines. Within these contexts\, she performs live-electronics and composes music for solo instruments and small ensembles. \nFani Konstantinidou

SUMMARY:Apapacho Day
DESCRIPTION:Every year\, mainly after the intensity of 8M and other feminist and social justice mobilizations\, many of us find ourselves exhausted\, drained\, and on the verge of burning out. We give our energy to the struggle\, to organizing\, to holding space for others\, but how often do we extend that same care to ourselves and to our community? \nThe Náhuatl word ‘apapacho’ carries deep meaning. According to linguistic studies\, it comes from the verb papatzoa or patzoa\, meaning “to press or squeeze”\, which evolved into the idea of bodies coming together in an embrace\, a physical gesture of warmth and comfort. Additionally\, some scholars connect it to pachoa\, meaning “to cover or shelter\, like a hen incubating her eggs”\, a beautiful metaphor for care as a protective and nurturing act.  \nApapacho\, then\, is not just affection\, it is a profound act of care that holds\, soothes\, and strengthens. As feminists\, we constantly speak about care\, healing\, and collective well-being\, so why not take this moment to actually put that into practice\, together? \n✨ What to expect? \n🌿 Bodywork and relaxation sessions \n☕ Nourishing drinks and comforting food \n🎶 Soothing music and collective reflection \n💜 A space to unwind\, recconnect\, and nurture resilience \nThis is a moment just for you\, a pause to breathe\, to feel held\, and to restore strength for the struggles ahead. Come as you are\, and let’s hold each other in radical care and solidarity. \n📍 Grond \nRegister to  feministasenholanda@gmail.com \nBecause rest is resistance. Because care is revolutionary. Because we deserve an apapacho.

SUMMARY:Dinner–Music–Dialogue
DESCRIPTION:Food & Music\nby The String Octet\, Mazen Al Ashkar\, Judith Baten \nGROND Bijdorpstraat 1\, 1096AP\, Amsterdam\nDinner–Music–Dialogue 19:00–21:00 (doors 18:30)\nTickets (inc. food & concert): regular €25 (or more) / discount €20 available at the door or online here.\n▶︎ Reservation required ◀︎ Please RSVP by booking your tickets online \nFREE ENTRY after 20:30 with live music by the Brazilian band Arte Feiticeira\, and uplifting music until late! \n\nABOUT the event \nFood and music go well together\, but the challenge is to present it in such a way that it reinforces each other! That is exactly what this evening is. Musically\, a time journey is made that starts in romanticism and extends to high-modern improvisation. The dishes will be inspired by the atmosphere created by the music. A unique experience! \nThe String Octet:\nAfter coming together as a group last year in this unique composition\, this is already the second project of this octet. These eight string players have been playing together for years\, but this composition has proven to be a great success. They have already rehearsed a wonderful program and will play it with great dedication. This octet likes to experiment. They look for concert formats where the music can be achieved even better. Music is experienced together with the sensations of food. We look forward to the experiences of all visitors! \n\nJudith Baten: Food\nMax Bruch: Octet for strings\nD.S.: Two pieces for sting octet\nBram Faber: Strands\nMazen Al Ashkar – An improvisation on two sequences exploring microtonality in modular setup.

SUMMARY:Aldrich/Bol/van Dijk/Valeriano\, & Ties Mellema and Robin Koek
DESCRIPTION:Electronic music\, saxophones\, keyboards\, and spoken word\nBy Ties Mellema & the new band Aldrich/Bol/van Dijk/Valeriano. Special guest Robin Koek. Our Canteen is open\, serving delicious food from 18:00 hrs onwards! \nGROND Bijdorpstraat 1\, 1096AP\, Amsterdam\nMusic starts at 20:00 – dinner will be served from 18:30\nTickets: regular €10 (or more) / discount €7 – available at the door or online here.\nDinner: + €12\,5 (RSVP required – Reserve by purchasing online) \nIvo Bol and Ties Mellema have played together for many years. Now they join forces with keyboardist and composer Tom Aldrich\, saxophonist Michiel van Dijk and spoken word artist Jeannine Valeriano. \nABOUT THE ARTISTS \nJeannine Valeriano is a writer\, singer\, spoken word performer and actress\, exploring the boundaries between language and music. \n \nMichiel van Dijk studied classical saxophone with Leo van Oostrom and jazz saxophone with John Ruocco at the Koninklijk Conservatorium in Den Haag. Michiel has played with almost all the renowned orchestras and ensembles in the Netherlands. Additionally\, he has collaborated with various theater productions and ensembles as a composer and arranger. \n \nTom Aldrich is the leader of the group Zolder Ellipsis and was a co-founder of the Four Bags. He has worked with artists such as a.o. Kurt Rosenwinkel\, Bang on a Can\, Jackie Cain. \n \nTaking on and then overcoming challenges and telling a story are always at the heart of Ties Mellema’s work. Whether it’s the false-polyphonic cello suites by Johann Sebastian Bach on baritone saxophone\, the monomaniac Gradus by Philip Glass or the extreme free jazz by his hero John Coltrane: Ties Mellema always goes in search of the boundaries of disciplines and the possibilities on his instrument. \n \nRobin Koek is an enterprising sound artist who aspires to nurture a new cognitive understanding of the world surrounding us mediated through art and education. These realities can be experienced as dynamic environments in which sensory feedback to the interactor is an essential component.

SUMMARY:Solidarity Iftar #1 with We Sell Reality
DESCRIPTION:Four Iftars\, fast-breaking evening meals\, in March 2025\nDuring Ramadan 2025 the artist collective We Sell Reality organizes so-called Solidarity Iftars at four Friday evenings in a row. Every Solidarity Iftar will have a focus on a certain area of conflict that is not much in the news. Together we want to break the fasting and stand still with these conflicts and developments and learn about them. We will focus on four countries: Sudan\, Haiti\, Congo and Syria. We will invite speakers who can tell us the ins and outs of what is going on in these countries. \nThe Iftars will be prepared by We Sell Reality. In return of a donation of €15 you can eat and drink. 1/3 of the sum you lay in will go to a grassroots organization in one of these four countries. Together we pray/wish/hope for a better future for all people in need. \nWhen will the Iftars be?\nThe Iftars will be at Friday the 7th of March\, Friday the 14th of March\, Friday the 21st of March and Friday the 28th of March from 17:30 till 23:00 at GROND. \nWho is We Sell Reality?\nWe Sell Reality is an artistic collective that makes the struggles of refugees visible through art and organizing gatherings. \n  \nPhoto by Farouk Ebaiss for the Symposium Suns and Stars
