Sigrid tanghe – Klaas Verpoest

Long String(s)

Klaas — Thu, 21 Aug 2014 11:41:52 +0000

Metres-long piano strings, stretched through the Atrium and amplified by gigantic, polystyrene sound boxes. When struck, the strings get a vibration that travels along them like a wave, swelling in sound as it goes. Peter Jacquemyn and Jan Pillaert thus create an acoustic soundscape, Sigrid Tanghe and Klaas Verpoest the visual landscape. Long String(s) is transparent; physical movement qualities determine the music, ‘what you see is what you get’.

2×2

Klaas — Tue, 17 Jan 2012 07:49:45 +0000

2×2, the project by Peter Jacquemyn, Sigrid Tanghe, Jan Pillaert and Klaas Verpoest, is a platform for cross-media improvisation performances.

Musical moods, stress, vibration, Rythem and dynamics work similar or contrasting. The whole can be overwhelming and chaotic, and sometimes pure harmony. It is a visual concert, an organic event with its own internal laws and not always that logical.

To do! We do: not the things we had in mind. We just DO!

The fundamental cohesion of motion, trace and sound results in the pictorial creation,the sound-picture and the choreography : simple and transparent and at the same timecomplex and poly-interpretable concerning contents and emotions. The action leads to the idea, the interaction shows the way.
