Orphax
“I make music that buzzes in your head.” Under his Orphax-moniker, Sietse van Erve wields his minimalist music as a stream-of-consciousness manifestation, forging sound from electronic and acoustic instruments, other people’s compositions morphed beyond recognition and/or lo-fi droning loops. An Orphax performance prompts the listener to expand their own headspace to awesome, uncharted domains. van Erve is also founder of the cutting edge label Moving Furniture.Sietse van Erve - ElectronicsTrio

Konstantinidou, Rosa, La Berge (electronics, visuals, improv)
Performing as a trio especially for ADE, these three multi-disciplinary mavericks work at the extreme boundaries of sound, image and text. Environmental soundscapes and fragmented language of Fani Konstantinidou, the captivating visuals and mesmerizing sound textures of Tatiana Rosa meet the ferocious and far-reaching virtuosity of experimental music and flute pioneer La Berge. This promises to be an unique and special contribution to ADE.Fani KonstantinidouTatiana RosaAnne La Berge

De Grove Korrel
What happens when two composers from two different worlds are confronted? The black and white keys by Guus Janssen and the buttons and cords by Huib Emmer. In such a confrontation, we do not make a whole plan which we then realize. There are some vague guidelines that offer a kind of guidance, but only during play do the wave movements arise, tension and relaxation arise. The chemistry of tones, pulses, noise, the unstable arises.
