Soundtracks for art

On Sunday, August 24 and Sunday, September 28, musician, theatre creator, and visual artist Gérard Schiphorst will perform live, improvised soundtracks insired by the art in the main hall of Museum Eicas in Deventer, The Netherlands. He will play a 70-year-old Egmond guitar, a Dutch product with a very unique timbre. It’s an ideal instrument for responding to the works and the atmosphere of the museum and complementing the viewer’s perception.
The idea for these live sessions arose when, while visiting the exhibition, Gérard dropped something small in the main hall. Thanks to the hall’s incredible acoustics, it became a huge sound. This immediately inspired him to create live music there.

Gérard Schiphorst has been composing, recording and producing the music and soundtracks for TAMTAM objektentheater’s performances for over 45 years.
Since most performances are wordless, the music is always very important. He creates visual soundtracks with music and noises. Audio that optimizes the audience’s experience and complements the images with atmospheres and rhythms.

Dates and times: Sunday, August 24th and Sunday, September 28th, from 1:00 PM to 5:00 PM. 15-minute sessions every hour.
Location: Museum Eicas, Nieuwe Markt 23, 7411 PB Deventer

Below is a small test I did in the main hall of Museum Eicas, without amplification, without effects, just the acoustics of the room.
