Mushroom spores concert by the DNK Ensemble
Hidden under every mushroom, invisible to the naked eye, thousands of spores fall and are blown away by the tiniest current of wind. In The Secret Sound of Spores, an installation by Yann Seznec and Patrick Hickey, lasers render these spores visible. Koen Nutters wrote an arrangement for the DNK Ensemble to accompany the falling spores.
Mold-based synthesizer concert
The second concert comes courtesy of David de Buyser, who developed a digital synthesizer called the F-Box. The F-Box uses molds and bacteria to produce sound. David will reveal the synth for the first time tonight, and collaborate with Younes Zarhoni on the first mold-based synthesizer concert ever.
