16 JANUARY 2012 LABOR SONOR SPEZIAL Hannah Henderson/Angel Gabriel in THE ART OF YES!
‘When I was 26 years old my whole life changed. During a 3-hour jazzercise class at my gym I went into some kind of trance and when I came out of it Gabriel was speaking through me. Naturally things had to change after that because you can’t work at Bank of America when some angel might just start speaking through you at any moment! Well, anyways, since that time things have just made a whole lot of sense to me in my life, and I have been traveling the world to share the wisdom of Angel Gabriel. Gabriel really helps people. I’ve seen it for myself!’ – HANNAH HENDERSON
A PARTICIPATORY performance project by Hana van der Kolk.
13 FEBRUARY 2012 LABOR SONOR SPEZIAL Antoine Beuger ‘Routley Tunings for 11’. Tunings Series is a concert series initiated by Johnny Chang and Koen Nutters in November 2011. With the aim to perform the complete series of open instrumentation compositions by Antoine Beuger, from 10 to 20 instrumentalists. The ensemble is ever expanding and for each concert the number of players increases by one. One by one, Berlin-based musicians in the experimental music community were invited to join the ensemble to explore the boundary between listening and perceptions through silence, tones, harmonies and space. http://snd.sc/pQI0ys
