Title: The Call Of The Kettle Date: 2019-01-20 Category: event slug: kettle Tags: event lang: nl Event_start: 2019-03-15 20:00 event_duration: 4h featured_image: /images/kettle4-web-xs.jpg Er is meer tussen hemel en aarde dan de mens en zijn doordravende hersenspinsels. Op 15 maart zetten we het “levenloze” object eens in het zonnetje. Op de betonnen vloer van Varia zullen een vijftal artiesten te zien zijn die een bijzondere relatie met objecten aangaan. Naast de artiesten zelf, zullen er dus ook geen naaimachines, broodroosters, ventilatoren, waterkokers en opgeviste handschoen ontbreken. Dit alles onder het mom van ‘The Call Of The Kettle’; de eerste object georienteerde muziekavond bij Varia! Tijdens dit evenement zullen er optredens te zien zijn van de volgende artiesten: Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle Agente Costura and Stephen Doyle are a duo playing improvised sounds, on amplified sewing machine and drums. Constura has been playing the Singer, a sewing machine, since 2003. In the daytime she tackles unwanted clothing, transforming them into new wearable shapes. At night, the Singer joins her fellow musicians and Lisa sews to the beat of the music, improvising on clothing based on rhythm and sound. Lisa has performed extensively on an international level, including at The Vancouver Art Gallery, the Month of Performance Art Berlin, the Bimhuis Amsterdam, and Curitiba Fashion Week, among others. Stephen Doyle is a drummer, living and working in Amsterdam. His sounds have previously graced the creations of Dagora, 78rpm, and many more. Together, Costura and Doyle create a percussive upcycled torrent of uniquely sculpted sound.

For this performance, the three have teamed up to bang, clang and tinker with everyday household items. They are currently rehearsing in Inge's kitchen with the orchestra members they’ve interested to participate, such as water cookers and coffee percolators, a knife and a cutting board, a few jars with nuts, rice, and corn, and a couple of empty jars, a mini oven, two pans, two tea spoons and an egg beater. A bread toaster and a coconut milk can are hesitant if they want to join this upbeat troupe, but they will probably fit right in. Together, they will bring a 10-15 minute performance around Varia's Kitchen. De Brut According to sources, Marijn Verbiesen is one of the forces that keeps the Rotterdam underground together! She participates in numerous projects (Sweat Tongue, Red Brut) and as organizer of the infamous Herman concert series, which actually takes place not far from Varia. Besides that Verbiesen is renowned for her tape collages that are highly personal and highly regarded by the likes of The WIre. The future of musique concrète might be amongst us; at Varia and this evening she is called ‘De Brut’. Beachcombartband Bart Koppe is both a new media artist and a famous beach comber, making instruments with his treasured findings that have already astounded audiences at occasions such as Instruments Make Play and … With this he places himself in a rich tradition of raw art, finding its start… The Singing Toaster Not every toaster is able to sing, so the inclusion of one that does during ‘the call of the kettle’ is already somewhat of an occasion. So, how does a singing toaster sound? Not like the brave little toaster, because toasters rarely have mouths. Does one require one to sing? Or are burned crumbs between your elements enough? Let’s find out! Date: Friday, 15 March 2019 Entrance: 5 euro Door: 20:00 Start: 20:30
