About Klanken & streken
This program component consists of a performance, in which Nadine Touré paints live to live music by sound poet Erik Keuning. Previously, this performance was performed in the church of Leegkerk.
Nadine Touré makes and writes music and sings jazz. She is currently training at the Prince Claus Conservatory. She paints, and has a studio at Y2. In the meantime, she has had exhibitions in a.o. Y2 and Forma Aktua.
In the KUNST. -magazine Volume 1 (2023), number 1, page 32 states:
"When I hear music, I see colours and vice versa. To me, this all feels like one, which is why I make little distinction between the way I approach the two media."
Until 2011, Erik Keuning worked as an oboist/althoboist with the Frysk Orchestra and the NFO, among others. He has been trained in rebirth science, sound massage and sound therapy. With (alto) violinist Marianne Keuning he forms the Enian Ensemble.

About Hemelstort
Hemelstort writes: Hemelstort is an improvisation by six sound makers/musicians. From subtle to thunderous, from chaos to structure. An adventure of about an hour, in which the players react to each other. This creates unexpected twists and turns, sometimes brutal, sometimes harmonious.
It is an experimental jam, all auditory and/or musical genres can be used.
Grimpex (Groninger Improvisation Experiment) stands for the creation of music on site. Listening with open ears. For both musicians and audience.
Het Rumoer stands for experiment and the unexpected in extraordinary music and sound art. Here, too, open ears are desired.

About Lucid Extinction.
Lucid Extinction consists of Wouter Schaatsbergen and Willem van Tuijl. They work a lot with guest musicians; for Saturday 7 June this is Merel Weijer (from the band Hister).
Keywords regarding their music are: experimental, drone, ambient, free jazz and noise. Their music falls under the genre of cosmic death jazz.
They write about themselves: Fascinating, brutal, uncompromising and ruthlessly creative.
Lucid Extinction is the little apocalypse, the death of the ego so that we can be ourselves.
It's starting, again and again but still always the same, it's the consciousness-expending ritual that abolishes all contradictions, it's showing up and playing, without preparation and without repertoire, it's the total surrender, letting the music take possession of you, it's radical freedom, the responsibility of everyone for everyone, it's cosmic death jazz, it's psychedelic, it's drone, synthesis, distortion, and also feedback, tape loops, noise and demonic koeterwaals, it's all this and it's none of this.
