Flow////State___: Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes //////// Arvind Ganga

Flowers/Ghosts&Echoes is an audio-visual project based in The Hague, The Netherlands.

It’s a project where the audio world and the visual world are interwoven and in constant conversation with each other. The result is a deeply immersive experience, where the visual component is an equal partner to the music and the performance space, drawing the audience into a world that can be at once calm and meditative, yet intense and highly moving.

This performance is to celebrate the release of their second album, titled Flow////State___, which is co-released by the labels Wormhole World (UK) and Geertruida (NL), on March 13th. The album will be available for purchase at the concert on CD, cassette, and also as poster plus download code.

The sonic side of the project features the guitar duo of Gonçalo Oliveira and James A.-McEwan, who unfold slow-moving instrumental landscapes of drones, post-rock ambience, noise-inflected textures, and post-minimalist environments. They showcase the unique capabilities of their instruments, in a carefully developed duo interaction.

Their sound world interacts with the performative visuals of Felix Bodin, created with his self-designed visual instrument: a mirrored surface that bends, spreads, or focuses digital projections into shifting sculptural fields of light. His visual language is woven into the

fabric of the project, forming an engrossing and captivating experience.

Arvind Ganga is fascinated by the physicality of the guitar and the wide range of sounds it produces when any of its parts are played with objects, magnetic fields, or his bare hands: an approach he describes as using “improper techniques”. His music is raw and direct, whether it's abrasive or delicate, and continually crosses the border between music and abstract sound.

Opening tonight’s concert, he presents his Three Amplifier Immersive Guitar Sound System Experience: a rudimentary yet effective diy multi-channel setup that immerses the audience in sound coming from all directions. From sparse, crackling textures and ethereal radiant drones, to dense webs of mingling, fusing and colliding sounds, he presents an intense yet joyful experience, created live on the spot, investigating the perception of sound and music.

Die Jahreszeiten

Comment

Die Jahreszeiten

Die Jahreszeiten is a tailored and staged version of the oratorio of the same name that Joseph Haydn composed in 1801. In this performance, we explore the metamorphosis of the seasons in a phenomenological way. What, in fact, is the difference between spring and summer? Or between summer and autumn? The transformation of the seasons is as elusive as it is unmistakable.

It is likely no coincidence that the holidays coinciding with the solstices and equinoxes—Easter, the Feast of St. John, St. Michael’s Day, and Christmas—are all times of transition. The seasons are also linked to the four archangels: Raphael, Uriel, Michael, and Gabriel. They tell us stories with a deeply rooted mystical significance, heralds that reveal something about ourselves. In this “in-between space” or “transitional phase,” the poems of Rainer Maria Rilke will attempt to give voice to these experiences.

For how does a frozen, hushed winter night in the forest sound? Or a scorching summer afternoon in the fields? One thing is certain: you must leave your home to experience the moment and translate it into music. Outside, where you are exposed to the elements and confronted with the harmonious whole that mirrors our inner world and from which music arises. The happiness you feel when an early warm ray of spring sunshine brushes your skin. The sudden awareness that overtakes you as you stand beneath a cool and lucid starry sky. These are moments of meditation.

That is what it is about: hands in the soil, amid sun-drenched stalks of grain and grapevines. There, Mother Earth teaches us to work and to care for ourselves. With gratitude, we make, among other things, wine and bread from the riches she grants us, provided we keep our senses open to them. There, a humanistic world unfolds—one that fits our existence like a glove. That is why we gladly take you along on a journey through the year, and we hope it will give you—even if only for a moment—a happy experience.
