Joram translates the sounds of nature
'You don’t just find your own place in history, you also discover your own way of composing and working,' says Joram van Duijn, Classical Music student at ArtEZ Academy of Music in Zwolle. He is graduating with his final, Fields, in which music, ecology and technology come together.
'The sound of tent poles, a bird, a campfire. It's exciting to discover, as you go, that there's so much more you can do. You can find something that translates a particular sound or feeling perfectly.'
Joram and his final Fields
Contemporary music meets ecology and technology in Fields, an interdisciplinary concert by composer Joram van Duijn exploring soil life and the (micro)habitats found in nature.
Seen through the eyes of a team of biologists, portrayed by six musicians, the performance follows their field research in a forest environment. Using self-built field scanners, the performers collect data and learn about their surroundings. The results of these scans take shape as sound, 3D animation and music.
The concert is presented in two parts, with a short talk by biologist Marc Siepman in between.
