Noorderzon X Amarte: Night Transmissions

Luz Mercedes
What happens when you give musicians, sound artists and makers from different disciplines complete freedom after sunset? Noorderzon, Amarte, Simplon and STROMING organised an open call with which they invited artists to submit their proposals for three nights built entirely around experimentation. Each evening is shaped from scratch by a different artist or collective, with work that doesn't easily fit within the walls of a music venue, the format of a club night, or the context of a traditional presentation space.On the 29th of August, as part of the Noorderzon Festival Night Programme, curious visitors can experience a conceptual sound and radio art event curated by Luz Mercedes, bringing together a series of performances that explore listening, sounding and experimentation. Visitors can expect field recordings, tape compositions, sonic snaps from the Ether, underwater singing, slideshows and adventurous DJ sets.The programme features performances by Sofía Murillo Lommers, Ash Kilmartin, Red Brut, Ellemieke Meijers, Moll (Hex FM), DJ Kogelman and Luz Mercedes. Visuals by Nongalant. Experience the event live at Simplon or tune in remotely via Radio WORM.

The Amarte Foundation was founded by a number of individuals and their families who share a deep love for the arts. They wish to support the development of creatives and talent in arts and culture by providing financial means and where possible coaching, knowledge and experience. Artists who are active in the cultural sectors of the Netherlands or the ABC and SSS islands (the Caribbean part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands) can apply to Amarte for the support of projects in the field of theatre, film, music, visual arts and literature, as well as interdisciplinary projects.
