This event features a live premiere of Anushka Chkheidze's sound installation 'Hacked Voices,' a composition merging electronic music, processed voices, and the Oude Kerk's organ. The work explores themes of digital intervention and reclaiming public space.
Anushka Chkheidze, a composer and producer of electronic music from Tbilisi, presents a special live adaptation of her sound installation 'Hacked Voices' as part of the Silence concert series. This edition transforms the installation into a live composition where voices, electronics, and the Transept organ of the Oude Kerk converge. The 'Hacked Voices' installation draws inspiration from an incident in Tbilisi where hackers broadcast pro-democracy messages through public bus payment machines. Chkheidze translates this act of digital intervention into a sonic environment composed of fragmented and processed voices, reflecting on the power of voices to disrupt systems of control and reclaim public space. Chkheidze's work bridges avant-garde, contemporary classical music, and IDM, influenced by her early musical experiences. She also composes for film and theatre, with albums like 'Halfie' exploring ambient and classical influences, and 'Move 20-21' delving into space and time. The Silence series comprises morning concerts held on the first Friday of each month, exploring the Oude Kerk's acoustics with contemporary music that merges acoustic, digital, and electronic sounds, allowing the audience to move through the historic architecture.
