Maya Verlaak ┆Áine O'Dwyer ┆Vanessa Rossetto
For this edition, we are very happy to welcome Vanessa Rossetto , an American composer and chipper-shredder who processes whatever sounds cross her path into sprawling, long-form narratives, accentuating the drama of normality through recordings from spaces of everyday life; the multidisciplinary artist Áine O'Dwyer, whose work embraces the broader aesthetics of sound and its relationship to environment, presenting ‘Sing in the Dark’ – an homage to the vocalisations and acoustic camouflage techniques of the European nightjar; and Maya Verlaak, the composer and iii member, for a staging of ‘A Deviation for Approximation’, in which she invites the audience to investigate deviations from a walking route as a compositional tool.
In addition to the three performances that treat the notion of 'space’ in idiosyncratic and diverging ways, the program involves an accompanying ‘deviated’ walk, exploring the aforementioned compositional system developed by Maya Verlaak for for which you are invited to join at at 18:45 at the coordinates 52.046895, 4.296389 (close to Speeltuin Drakentoren). This presentation of Maya Verlaak’s composition/walk celebrates the launch of her publication ‘Blueprint #3: Deviation’, as part of iii’s Blueprint series.
