On Saturday July 9 we will have the pleasure of presenting for the first time in our studio Echo Collective, a diverse group of classically trained musicians based in Brussels, Belgium.
The collective will be working for a week in our studio to compose a new spatial piece in collaboration with Tilo Von Ketelhodt, spatial sound engineer from Monom Studios.
Neil Leiter, describes what moved him, Margaret Hermant & Fabien Leseure to explore and create with the 4DSOUND composition instrument.
‘We have a long established interest in physical space, and how that physical space impacts creation and interaction. And as musicians, we constantly search for new ways to share our creative energy. Our goal at Monom Studios is to juxtapose these two questions. How will this space inspire us to create? And, how will this moment of creation be archived and experienced in the future? Monom offers an unparalleled opportunity to find new answers to these fundamental questions.
As a color palette, we plan on combining prerecorded textures with live violin, viola and harp featuring Echo Collective’s founding members, Margaret Hermant and Neil Leiter, along with sound shaper Fabien Leseure’
Before each session we will continue to feature a Recalibration by Soundworks to tune in your senses. This moment will serve to sharpen our attention and in particular our ability to listen more deeply, to listen with the whole body. Also, during every session we will present sound installations of excerpts from Mensch, Music! #3 – Hotspot Earth concert performed during „Earth Day“ by the Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin (RSB) under the extraordinary baton of Vladimir Jurowski. During each session you’ll be able to hear classic compositions like never before thanks to the large-scale system made up of 57 omnidirectional speakers at the heart of Monom Studios. We will exhibit „Water“ by Mischa Tangian.
