LudoWic

On the border between music and art, LudoWic distinguishes himself with his compelling, futuristic sounds. Thijs Lodewijk performs a live concert on the Trautonium, a unique electronic instrument that he is one of the few players worldwide to master. He also shares his knowledge about this special instrument. Visitors can also admire his installation Flux Patterns.

Future Debate

During the Future Debate we will discuss the music of tomorrow. What does that future look like? Together with 3 special guests we will explore different future scenarios in the field of technology and social innovation. Moderator Dymphie Braun will discuss dangers and opportunities in the sector together with Jos Feijen, director of Effenaar, innovator RHIANNIN (Rianne Wilbers) and Pink Oculus (Esperanza Denswil).

Prins S. en de Geit

Prins S. en de Geit explores the boundaries of experimental music and art and brings a unique live act to our location. Singer Scott Beekhuizen, bassist Marne Miesen and producer Daniel Ortgies are known for their humorous lyrics and energetic shows. Visitors can prepare themselves for a sensory and intellectual experience that encourages reflection on the role of music in our future cultural landscape.

There is much more

There is a special act by Jort Palmen in our beautiful Koepel. Jort is known for his eclectic mix of techno, electro and modular synths. Also, singer-songwriter Irelle Ramires will present her poetic and introspective songs, accompanied by acoustic guitar.

In our cinema we show the registration of a concert, recorded in the advanced 3D audio technology Dolby Atmos. Thomas Swartjes talks about Martin Garrix's studio STMPD, where this technology is used. Or join Sam Steenbakkers and Rens Michiels in our Future Lab to co-create a full track from scratch — and yes, you can be part of the beat!
