Future Music

During Future Music, we explored the music of tomorrow at the Next Nature Museum on May 9. The evening showed how technology and experimentation together enable new forms of music: from algorithmic compositions to live acts, as well as debate.

Prins S. en De Geit

Prins S. and De Geit delivered a solid live act, a mix of pop, electronica, and the necessary humor. Their performance showed that the future of music is not only digital or experimental, but certainly also collective, energetic, and danceable.

LudoWic

LudoWic, artist name Thijs Lodewijk, gave a live concert featuring captivating, futuristic sounds on the rare Trautonium, an electronic instrument from the early history of the synthesizer.

With his expressive sounds, he brought a nearly forgotten technology back to life. Additionally, he shared his knowledge with the audience and his installation Flux Patterns was on display.

Future Debate

During the future debate, Jos Feijen, Director of the Effenaar, RHIANNIN (Rianne Wilbers), and Pink Oculus (Esperanza Denswil) engaged in a conversation about the opportunities and risks in the music sector. Led by moderator Dymphie Braun, they discussed how technology, social innovation, and new forms of creativity are changing the position of makers, venues, and audiences today.

From young talent to Future Lab

Moreover, the new generation of makers, including Jort Palmen, filled the dome with fresh techno and modular synths, while Irelle Ramires performed intimate and poetic tracks.

In our Future Lab, visitors could create their own music tracks together with Sam Steenbakkers and Rens Michiels.

For this edition, we collaborated with SUMMA and De Effenaar.
