Genevieve Murphy has a fascination for psychology and 
disability, integrating this into her compositions 
and performances. Her research is focused on the 
physical and sonic link between sound and performance 
in a way that one cannot exist without the other. 
The composer’s musical influences cross between 
contemporary classical, electronic pop, punk and 
free improvisation.
Het residency will be focused on taking the highland 
bagpipes out of context and developing material for 
them with instruments that would not usually be 
associated with this instrument. Bagpipes are 
incredibly loud, microtonal and limited in pitch.She 
plans on making a song and bringing the bagpipes into 
t. I’d then like to bring in one or two musicians to 
collaborate with separately, on the material to see 
how the music varies depending on the type of musician 
joining me. 

Pensive Vivifier, consisting of Janne 
Kosmos, Tes Wolters Bos and Silva Westera,
brings digital and physical worlds together. 
The anti-disciplinary ensemble moves between 
video art, performance, musical composition and 
clubbing. Everything takes place in the same 
cosmos, influences and reinforces each other. 
Using an associative method, sampling, humor 
and music, they connect content from all corners 
of the internet, telling personal stories about 
addiction, bullying and love.
In the run-up to their residency in the autumn, 
they will present a program to be determined.

The third presentation consists of solo pieces from the 
concert installation Mutability, which can be seen in 
the Muziekgebouw on June 23. These are performed by 
trumpetplayer Arthur Kerklaan, trombonist 
Sebastiaan Kemner and cellist Sebastiaan van Halsema.
